The C5 Corvette was a massive step forward for the legendary fiberglass sports carand#44; and if you havent driven oneand#44; you dont know just how good they are. This 1999 Corvette has an awesome look with a few modest modificationsand#44; and probably represents the biggest bang for the buck anywhere. Finished in traditional Arctic Whiteand#44; this Corvette still looks awesome and looking at itand#44; its hard to believe that its 17 years old. It has been drivenand#44; of courseand#44; but everything looks to be in top condition mechanicallyand#44; and it shows only the most minor road wearand#44; making it the perfect Corvette for the guy who loves the C5 but might be working on a smaller budget. The bodyworkand#44; including the optional stinger along the sides is beautifully preservedand#44; and this one has been neatly upgraded with Z06-style scoops on the rocker panelsand#44; which were designed to feed cool air to the rear brakesand#44; air screens up frontand#44; and some subtle graphics on the hood. There are almost zero scuffs on the chinand#44; and no sandblasting of the rocker panels by the tiresand#44; and certainly no marks from parking lot mishaps thanks to the composite bodywork. This car also features the solid top optionand#44; which gives it the look of a closed coupe and the lid can be stored in the C5s cavernous trunk using special brackets for just this purpose. Go aheadand#44; take another look at it; the C5 is aging rather welland#44; dont you think? This cars interior features the optional sport bucket seatsand#44; which were a big upgrade over the standard pancake-flat bucketsand#44; and the leather remains in great shape. Theres some slight wear on the drivers seatand#44; certainly in line with the age and mileageand#44; and overall the interior is as well-preserved as the bodywork. Youll never get tired of watching the gauges do their dance every time you start the engine (theyve been upgraded with white gauge faces)and#44; and theres tons of useful data to be gleaned from the driver information center in the middle of the cluster. This car also offers options like dual zone climate controland#44; the cool heads-up displayand#44; and the memory packageand#44; among others. Everything works as it shouldand#44; as one would expect from such a well-preserved pieceand#44; and there are carbon-fiber accents on the doors and dash to dress things up a bit. The C5s LS1 V8 was another huge step forward. With 345 horsepower in 1999and#44; it was a formidable performerand#44; yet it could still pull down 25 MPG on the highwayand#44; something few other cars could match. The LS1 also introduced a plastic intake manifold to control heat and noiseand#44; distributorless ignitionand#44; and a sophisticated fuel systemand#44; all stashed under handsome removable covers with CORVETTE emblazoned on their surface. The standard transmission was a 4-speed automatic as in this oneand#44; which also has the optional 3.15 performance gear ratio. The engine runs very well and has a few minor modifications that are popular with Corvette enthusiasts but do nothing to affect reliability. For a little extra fun on the roadand#44; theres a rumbling Bandamp;B cat-back exhaust system and the suspension has been lowered two inches for that awesome stance. Chrome forged aluminum wheels from a Z06 wear staggered 245/45/17 front and 275/40/18 rear Hankook performance radials and frame a set of cross-drilled Z06 brakes. If youre looking for a clean C5 at a great priceand#44; they dont come better than this. Call today! |
