2003 Chevrolet Corvette 50th Anniversary

Description

We get excited about well-documented collector-grade Corvettes here at Streetside, because we know the Corvette community is one of the best at understanding how special they are. For example, this 2003 Chevrolet Corvette convertible 50th Anniversary Special Edition is highly optioned, has a rare six-speed, and has an ultra low 12,861 miles. So like other fine Vettes we have sold, we know that this will get a lot of attention from the right people.

Chevy does a good job of celebrating the milestones correctly, and the paint is a great example here. The Anniversary Red Metallic is a specially brewed burgundy that looks like candy, and dares you to touch its impossibly smooth surface. With near unbelievably low mileage you won't be surprised at this special paint's exceptional condition. It has a luster in the sunlight that will fill you with pride of ownership, and that's always a great thing in a sunshine-friendly convertible. Plus, the Champagne-colored aluminum wheels are a great finishing touch that coordinates nicely with the softop color. Chevrolet really let this these hues do most of the talking for the car, and that's why they didn't need to go overboard with badging - just a tasteful commemorative emblem on each fender.

These special edition cars received the Shale leather interior, and as you would expect from such a low mileage convertible, the it is exceptional. The special 50th Anniversary carpets have never been dirty, and the specially embroidered leather seating surfaces don't even look like they've been tried on for size. This came from the factory loaded with features like power seats, power windows, power locks, keyless entry, dual-range climate control, cruise control, a heads up display (HUD), power tilt wheel, and an AM/FM/CD changer stereo that still plays your tunes loud and clear even if your running at high speeds with the top down. This modern classic also comes with modern safety features such as dual front airbags, side airbags, and ABS. Most family-sized convertibles don't even offer a real trunk, but this personal sportscar has more than enough storage space for a two-person roadtrip.

All 50th Anniversary Corvettes were powered by the aluminum LS1 that has become the foundation of GM performance in the 21st century. With 350 hp, and plenty of torque on tap, it easily fulfilled the Corvette's performance image, but the smoothness, durability, and efficiency were big bonuses. Best of all, you can dial in how mild or wild you want your ride with the control of the six-speed manual transmission – a desirable option that was on less than a ¼ of '03 models. These are all numbers-matching drivetrain features, and as you can tell from the pictures, this convertible remains all stock. That's especially good news in the Corvette community where survivor and originality are financially rewarding characteristics. But as much as this is a collector-grade car, it also will be tough to resist adding a few more miles to the odometer. It comes great driver features like power steering, four-wheel disc brakes, and the adjustable magnetic ride control.

Complete with all the relevant documentation, including the original owner's manual, warranty card, and window sticker, this is a collector Corvette that future generations will continue to appreciate. Call today!!
