Vehicle Description
For consignment, a 2003 Chevrolet Corvette 50th Anniversary convertible with a title verified 6,359 actual miles. This one has been garage kept and represents the route many anniversary owners took, that is, to drive the car minimally and keep the miles ultra low and as a result, the car presents in immaculate condition.
Exterior
The Corvette cove with faux vent on the front quarter harkens back 50 years, and as the first Vettes were topless and special 50th Anniversary Red drapes the exterior of this car. What's different from those days is the sharp wedge shape of the C5, a low nose leads upward to a rear deck lid that is considerably higher, giving the car a slightly raked appearance. The tan convertible canvas is in great condition here and contains a glass rear with a defog function, and the slight bronze hue to the five spoke wheels pick up on the soft top color nicely. Epic quad exhaust are center exit of course, while special badging adorns the nose and front quarter panels. There are no exterior flaws on this well preserved '03. Let's take a look inside!
Interior
Shale leather, a shade of calming beige, power adjustable high back buckets embroidered with "Corvette" name and 50th anniversary crossed flags await you and they're in immaculate shape. Sliding in will put you into a cockpit with an AM/FM/CD sound system with Bose Speakers, dual zone electronic A/C, a driver's info center on the dash above the console, cruise control, and power locks and power windows. It's all in very good condition, obviously well cared for, right down to the tan shifter and center console. The beige carpet below, which is not easy to keep clean, presents as showroom fresh here as it covers the transmission hump and works its way to the modest package shelves behind the seats. Matching carpeted mats on the top are also excellent and wear the 50th anniversary embroidered emblem.
Drivetrain
Under the reverse opening hood, we find the 5.7 liter LS1 fuel injected V8 nestled in a clean engine bay, backed by the desirable T56 6-speed manual transmission and rated at 350 horsepower. The rear axle houses 3.42 gears with limited slip.
Undercarriage
Exactly as you would expect for a sub 10k miles garage kept Corvette and that is, near assembly line fresh. That dual exhaust included original equipment mufflers that emit short pipes to the chrome tips. Double wishbone cast aluminum upper and lower control arms, transverse mounted composite leaf springs, and monotube shock absorbers make up the suspension for the front and the rear. Of course, power disc brakes are the only set up worthy of America's great sports car and they're here at every wheel.
Drive-Ability
Talk about a time capsule, this is like stepping back 22 years and yet still feels modern enough for confident and comfortable driving. Predictably, everything works in the car and it provides a spirited ride with go-kart-like handling, straight tracking, and quick stops. 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.
Just 7,547 convertible 50th Anniversary editions were produced so if you missed out on getting one new, here's your opportunity to scratch that itch. This is one of the finest examples we've seen and checks all the boxes for fun drives, collectability, and darn good looks!
