2000 Chevrolet Corvette

2000 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible The Corvette Club of America was founded by John Ralph and Charles Eyre who organized the first club meeting on July 17, 1956 at the Rosenthal Chevrolet dealership in Arlington, Virginia. The formation of the club was greatly aided by the sports car environment in the Nation's Capital following WWII. The Washington D.C. area was a hotbed of sports car activity. The very first region to join the Sports Car Club of America, (SCCA), back in 1948 was Washington D.C. Region. Cca-vette-club.org For consignment, a 2000 Chevrolet Corvette convertible with a title verified 13,666 actual miles. Break that down over years and we're talking about 500 miles per year! Heck, it's practically a new car! Exterior Vettes look great in just about any color and Light Pewter Metallic is no exception with this one has been pampered and the body and paint remain in excellent condition 25 years later. The dramatic wedge shape is not lost to observers even when the top is up as the contrasting black canvas never disrupts the rising shoulder line of the sports car and the color combo gets a chef's kiss every time. Then of course, you have the chrome 5 spoke wheels, looking as sporty as you can get and staggered with 17-inch fronts and 18-inch rears carrying staggered size low profile tires. The fender gill defines the body contour on the side, a nod to the Corvette legacy once occupied by a colored coved. Out back, center exit quad exhaust is an epic feature while some minor chin scrapes make our notes as the only exterior imperfections. Interior Black on black door panels with a rubber coated switch plate on the driver's door that show no wear where it usually shows up first. Very minor creasing is found on the black leather bucket seat of the driver, while the passenger seat presents full and clean. The black palette continues with the handsome and thick steering wheel, the dash, and instrument cluster going to the dark side with easy to read gauges that pop with white numbering and bright red needles. Rounded buttons adorn the center stack that includes an AM/FM/CD radio over a factory climate panel, both with digital green readouts. The shifter is dressed in a black leather boot over a formed plastic center console and the low pile black carpet is protected by fitted mats up front but is open for viewing in the hatch area and it barely looks used. The entire interior looks like it jumped off the sales brochure pages. Drivetrain Attention to detail did not stop with the paint. The engine bay is just about showroom clean, housing the mighty 5.7 liter LS1 V8 rated at 350 horsepower and mated to a Tremec T56 6-speed manual transmission that sends power to the 3.42 gears with Limited Slip in back. Undercarriage General use patina is noted on the underside but nothing unusual or remarkable on the generally clean and dry belly. Dual exhaust runs tandem down the middle before meeting glasspack style mufflers and exiting through chrome tips. Power disc brakes are employed in front and back and suspension consists of independent unequal length double wishbones with transverse composite monoleaf springs and monotube shocks. Drive-Ability Quick, nimble and tight, this Pewter Patriot handles turns like an Indy car and straight aways like a dragster. It is comfortable inside and when things get hot, you simply hit the air conditioning or put the top down. We note all functions on this C5 wonder work as they should. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase. A 2000 Corvette with less than 15,000 miles! Great paint, a droppable top, and a fun stick in the middle. What's not to love here? You could put 50,000 miles on this car tomorrow and still have a relatively low mileage Corvette! 1G1YY32G5Y5126434 1-USA G-General Motors 1-Chevrolet YY-Corvette
