The 1997 Chevrolet Corvette represents the first year of the C5, and this example certainly makes it memorable. With only 41,065 carefully driven miles from new, and details like the factory-applied Arctic White paint, polished C6 ZR1 alloys, and LS1 motor are looking exceptionally well-kept.
Corvette engineers crafted this fifth-generation sports car with flowing curves and aggressive angles that still look spectacular today. The removable targa top provides open-air driving enjoyment when desired. Upgraded chrome C6 Z06-style 17-inch wheels provide the perfect visual anchor, while the meaty tires staggered 275/40ZR17 front and 295/35ZR17 rear, offer substantial contact patches for maximum grip during spirited driving maneuvers.
The interior features Firethorn Red leather, one of the rarest options for 1997. It was one of only three interior color options, but it is believed less than 728 were produced in this exciting color. The supportive bucket seats hold occupants firmly in place during aggressive cornering, while providing long-distance comfort for extended cruising sessions. The instrument panel displays vital information with classic Corvette clarity, putting critical data directly in the driver's field of vision. Luxury touches abound with power windows, power locks, and a climate control system that maintains perfect cabin temperatures. The AM/FM/CD stereo system with Bose speakers stands ready to provide the soundtrack for your next road adventure.
Lifting the hood reveals the heartbeat of this iconic Corvette. The 5.7 Liter LS-1 V8, with its electronic fuel injection, is ready to provide that classic Corvette power, and is mated to a smooth-shifting 4-speed automatic 700R4 transmission for effortless performance. When it comes to cornering, the factory independent front and rear suspension setup provides confident handling for those twisty backroads. The power disc brakes (front and rear) ensure reliable stopping power when you need it.
