2004 Chevrolet Corvette Commemorative Edition

Description

After a successful seven years of production with the C5, Chevy gave it a grand exit with a special edition. This 2004 Chevrolet Corvette Commemorative Edition convertible is a pristine, low mileage example of the car that celebrated the model that added new life to the 'Vette tradition, and even recognized back-to-back victories at the 24 Hours Le Mans.

There is only one way to get a C5 in this beautiful code 19L Lemans Blue Metallic. It was part of the 2004 Commemorative Edition (Z15), and only 2,659 convertibles ever received this treatment. But rarity is not the only thing that distinguishes this drop top 'Vette. It's an ultra low mileage example that was clearly only used as a pleasure craft and not a commuter. That means the original paint still retains a showroom shine. The Shale folding roof was exclusive to the Z15 package. It also meant the polished aluminum five-spoke wheel option that gives these Corvettes a true hint of classic American-style chrome. Not only do these have a special center cap for the Commemorative Edition, but so does the special badge on the hood that remind everyone of the C5's dominance at the 24 Hours of LeMans. Special pieces like this look great and add value as it matures into classic status.

Inside, the code-152 Shale interior was only offered on the special edition, and it matches the top so nicely. Just in case people did not pick up on the other hints that is a distinctive Corvette, they get reminders of the LeMans victory in the specially embroidered headrests and trunk mat. Beyond the desirability of a distinctive convertible, you'll also love this Corvette for its loaded interior. It includes dual zone climate control, leather-wrapped steering wheel, dual airbags, AM/FM/CD stereo (with additional CD changer), power windows, power locks, anti-theft system, and keyless entry. Low mileage means little seat time, and so the leather bucket seats show nearly zero wear. Plus, they're power adjustable so you and your passenger can find the perfect comfort position. As much as you may want to just collect this car, there's also an undeniable practical side. You get a trunk that's far more spacious than most other two-person sports cars, and so this special Corvette is also the best choice for a weekend getaway machine.

With how factory-fresh the rest of this low mileage car has appeared so far, it should be no surprise that the original V8 looks stellar in this pristine engine bay. But beyond looking great, Corvette people know the LS1 is a world-class powerplant. Effortlessly powerful, suitably quiet, and surprisingly economical – it's a versatile V8 that makes for easy diving in everyday situations, but growls to life on demand the moment you want a dominant sports car on the streets. This convertible comes with a four-speed automatic overdrive transmission, power steering, four-wheel disc brakes, cruise control, and a fully independent double-wishbone suspension. It even features the expensive Goodyear Eagle F1 EMT tires that combine run-flat technology with an aggressive tread. It's a total package that makes this show-worthy Commemorative Edition an easy anytime cruiser.

This low mileage convertible is an instant collectable at an affordable price. It even comes with the owner's manual and maintenance records to add value as it becomes an even more desired classic over the years. You can cherish, enjoy, or invest in this convertible, but we suggest you do all three. Call today!
