Right now, the C5 Corvette might just be the biggest bang for the buck in the automotive universe. Fast, comfortable, efficient, reliable, and still great to look at, its everything thats awesome about the Corvette, all at a bargain price. Dress it in lovely Pewter Metallic and you get a car that looks as sophisticated as it is. With just over 62,000 original miles, this Corvette coupe delivers the kind of high performance fun that should cost a lot more than a 4-year-old Hyundai. Finish quality on the cars coming out of Bowling Green is better than average, and even after 25 years (has it been that long?) this one still looks great. A big part of that is the fact that most Corvettes-this one included-are fair-weather toys that never have to fight through the weather or the daily grind. And, of course, Corvette fans are dedicated to keeping their cars in top condition, so this Corvette has received more than its fair share of wax jobs. The Pewter metallic is a beautiful choice, subtle and sophisticated and a great contrast to all the red and black Corvettes out there. If you want a good-looking C5, this is a fantastic choice!
The C5 was a big deal because of the interior. For one, the tall side sills of the C4 were gone, making this the most user-friendly Corvette ever built. Easy to climb aboard and comfortable once youre in there, it was revolutionary when it hit the streets. Today, those optional sport seats are still all-day comfortable and wear leather upholstery that still looks great thanks to proper care over the years. Gauges are big and bright and do a little dance every time you key it up, which is still cool today, and things like the A/C, stereo, windows, seats, and other features work like they should. The solid roof is removable and stows easily in the trunk, which is big enough for the Corvette to be used as a real-world vehicle. You want a Corvette thats easy to live with, this is it.
Power comes from the first of the LS-motors, the LS1. With 345 horsepower on tap, it was no slouch in the performance department, and the last 25 years have proven that its virtually indestructible. Paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission, its civilized, but when you plant your right foot, things do happen in a big hurry. This one is entirely stock, which means reliability is unaffected and it obviously hasnt been raced or abused. Its ultra-clean under the hood, too, with plenty of signs that this car has always been loved. Heck, even the original decals are still in place! Underneath, it is equally tidy with its innovative balsawood floors and hydro-formed frame rails, as well as the aluminum cradles for the engine and rear-mounted transmission. The exhaust is stock so its mellow and easy on the ears at speed, with just enough of a bark to sound like a Corvette. A few dress-up parts add some flash on the brake calipers and out back, which is the view most people get, and the stance is just about perfect. Add in those flashy chrome Z06 wheels and staggered 245/45/17 front and 275/40/18 rear Goodyear radials, and you get a great-looking Corvette thats ready to rock.
This car also comes with extras like a set of door sill guards and a large file of maintenance receipts.
Big fun, little price, thats the C5 Corvette. This one has been loved and maintained, so its ready for a new owner to find out why the Corvette world is so awesome. Easy to live with and still entertaining as hell to drive, this is the one to own if you just want to have some fun without a big commitment. Dont think too hard, just get in and go. Call today!
