2001 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible. The C5 specification the hunters look for first: an LS1 convertible
with the six-speed manual gearbox, finished in silver metallic over a black leather cockpit, and showing
just 38,266 miles. Most C5 convertibles were ordered with the automatic; the manual car is the one that
gets hunted down, and this example pairs the right gearbox with the full run of desirable equipment
Head-Up Display, Active Handling, power sport seats and polished wheels in a car that presents as
clean, stock and unmolested throughout. The dash VIN plate, 1G1YY32GX15132638, matches its
paperwork exactly.
The silver metallic paint carries a deep, even gloss across every panel, with straight shut lines and
none of the tired look that settles on lesser-kept C5s. The black soft top is photographed raised,
lowered and stowed beneath its flush tonneau cover, and it sits taut and clean in each position. The car
rides on the polished thin-spoke alloy wheels the finish buyers ask for by name wrapped in Michelin Pilot
Sport tires, and the rear closes with the four polished exhaust tips that are pure C5.
Under the forward-tilting hood is the 5.7-liter LS1 V8, factory rated at 345 horsepower, presented
exactly as Bowling Green built it: stock air bridge, stock intake, and the red-lettered CORVETTE engine
covers in a bay that is clean right down to the quilted insulator pads. Behind it sits the Tremec
six-speed manual with the 3.42 limited-slip rear axle the cluster photograph even catches the 1-to-4
skip-shift lamp that only the manual cars carry. Active Handling and traction control are on the console,
and the whole drivetrain presents as original and unmodified, which is precisely what the C5 market
rewards.
The black leather cockpit is anchored by the power sport bucket seats with perforated inserts and
CORVETTE embroidered across the headrests, showing only the light creasing honest to the mileage.
Ahead of the driver: the Head-Up Display projecting onto the windshield, a leather wheel, and the
Driver Information Center at thumb's reach. Dual-zone automatic climate control, the Bose sound
system with CD, cruise control, power windows, locks and mirrors, embroidered Corvette floor mats
and seat-back storage pouches complete a cabin that has plainly been kept, not just used. The
carpeted trunk, with its crossed-flags mat, is just as tidy.
At $29,900, a six-speed C5 convertible with this mileage, this equipment and this presentation is the
affordable end of the Corvette market holding the specification everyone wants. We welcome your
personal or independent inspection of this car, and Motorcar Classics can arrange prompt enclosed
shipping anywhere in the country or worldwide from our Farmingdale, New York showroom.
