The C5 Corvette changed everything when it arrived in 1997, and 1998 brought the addition that completed the lineup. This was the first year the C5 was offered as a convertible, and the response was immediate. Motor Trend awarded both the coupe and convertible their Car of the Year for 1998, and the 1998 C5 was also chosen as the official pace car for the Indianapolis 500, the fourth time in Corvette history the honor had been given to the car. This example is finished in black over black leather, a combination that suits the clean, low body of the C5 perfectly, and it has been updated with LED lights, an aftermarket infotainment system, and an aftermarket exhaust that gives it a stronger voice than it left the factory with.
Under the hood is the 5.7 liter LS1 V8 backed by a four speed automatic. The LS1 produces 345 horsepower and was the foundation of what became one of the most celebrated engine families in American automotive history. It pulls strong, revs freely, and sounds considerably better with the aftermarket exhaust behind it. The C5 also achieved something that seemed almost impossible at the time: it hit 60 miles per hour in just over five seconds while still returning fuel economy numbers that kept it below the federal gas guzzler threshold. That combination of performance and efficiency was essentially unmatched in its class.
Inside, the black leather cabin is clean and well kept. The aftermarket infotainment system brings a modern connectivity upgrade without altering the overall character of the interior. C7 wheels and LED lights round out a car that has been thoughtfully maintained and improved over the years, and a substantial collection of service receipts comes with it to document exactly how it has been cared for.
The C5 was the last generation of Corvette to wear pop up headlights, a feature that had been part of the car's identity for decades. When the C6 arrived with fixed headlights in 2005, that chapter quietly closed. A black 1998 convertible with LED lighting, service history, and the right upgrades in the right places is exactly the kind of C5 that buyers are paying attention to as this generation settles into collectible territory.
