2002 Chevrolet Corvette

Description

You don't need to buy that family sedan when the collectable sports car of your dreams is at a value price. This 2002 Chevrolet Corvette has that perfect balance of legendary pedigree and modern convenience.

"All Corvettes are red. The rest are just mistakes!" That's what General Motors engineer and race driver John Heinricy said when developing this fifth generation car, and judging by the shine of the paintwork on this one, we couldn't agree more. Of course, when it comes to shine, a proper American classic deserves some chrome. So this one has the optional deluxe high polish five-spoke wheels. But the best feature of this C5 is the distinctive low, long hood of the Corvette that gives it a classic appearance connecting it with previous generations. That's part of the point of owning a car like this. This coupe has been cherished for 13 years, and now it's time to buy in at a value price before its vintage status (and selling price) rises any higher. For those who are buying this coupe for its collectability, remember the Corvette community thrives on documentation. That's why this one comes with its original window sticker, owner's manual, and factory build sheet.

Corvettes come loaded right out of the box, and this one has plenty of great modern features. This includes air conditioning, leather-wrapped steering wheel, airbags, AM/FM/CD stereo, power windows, power locks, anti-theft system, keyless entry, and a six-way power adjustable driver bucket seat. The full list is so long that we suggest you view our features section of this listing for all the info. We could go on, but then we wouldn't be able to mention the desirable optional upgrades. This one has the sport leather seats, automatic climate control, and windshield heads up display (HUD). While all Corvette coupes have targa tops, this one comes with an optional second glass roof panel you can put in place on those days when you want the all sunshine but not the weather. There's a real trunk in the C5, which makes it the perfect adventure companion. On any golf weekend, it can carry the clubs and luggage – and there's still room to stow the targa top!

The LS1 V8 was a huge leap forward in Corvette technology. The 5.7-liter V8 is effortlessly powerful, suitably quiet, and surprisingly economical. The original rating for this motor was an impressive 350 hp, but this one has upped its game even further with a Vortex cold air induction and a Corsa performance exhaust. This one sounds so nasty when you get up in the RPMs that everyone will wonder where the sound came from. Not only do these upgrades add some extra grunt to this 'Vette, but they also upgrade the appearance of the engine bay and exhaust tips. At cruising speeds this is a very comfortable, great handling, fuel economical, driver. This coupe comes with power steering, four-wheel disc brakes, cruise control, Michelin run-flat tires, and a fully independent double-wishbone suspension. So all Corvettes are made to be the meanest Saturday night cruisers around, but this one is also good for the cross-country roadtrips.

This is a car you can lovingly own for decades, drive on weekend getaways, and watch it appreciate into an even more desired classic. Priced right...this one should be enjoyed today and not stay in under our showroom lights long. Call now!!!
