Overview of 1997 Chevrolet Corvette For Sale by Owner

Chevy’s fifth generation or C5 Corvette is one of those all-time greats. The last generation with pop-up headlamps, its clean Nineties design, potent powertrain and general improvements over the previous C4 generation all make it a definitive future classic. This 1997 Chevrolet Corvette is no different. What makes it truly special is its ultra-low mileage; a mere 16,600 on the clock. So if you want a future classic that will appreciate in value, but you can still drive and enjoy, pick this car.

Exterior and Interior

This 1997 Chevrolet Corvette wears Torch Red, a famous Corvette paint code that’s even available on today’s C8 or eighth generation. But what the C8 doesn’t have is pop-up headlamps. Yes, this oh-so-desirable feature disappeared by the end of the C5’s life cycle, banished due to increasingly stringent safety regulations. This car comes with shiny chromed aftermarket wheels, plus chromed taillight covers for some uniqueness. You’ve also got removable roof panels because this car is a targa variant. The two-seat passenger cabin of this 1997 Chevrolet Corvette is a cozy black affair, with two well-bolstered adjustable sports seats waiting to accept eager occupants. The car comes with plenty of convenience features, including power door locks, power mirrors and power windows. There’s dual-zone automatic climate control as well as a Delco Electronics radio with CD player. The center console also hosts a plaque that tells everyone the most important specifications of this 1997 Chevrolet Corvette – namely its engine size, power and torque outputs, plus compression ratio. Behind the two seats is a surprisingly roomy cargo area that’s accessed via the rear glass hatch. After all, the Corvette is a sports car and a grand tourer, so you can take a cross-country trip with enough luggage.

Engine

As you’d expect from a Corvette, this 1997 Chevrolet Corvette comes with a powerful 350ci V8 burbling beneath the hood. The interior-mounted plaque informs us that the engine makes 345hp and 350lb-ft. Moreover, you’ve got a 6-speed manual transmission to play with, sending power to the rear wheels. An aftermarket exhaust is also present, to further uplift the experience of driving this awesome sports car.

1963 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible

Current Ask
VERIFIED SELLER
$69,999

The 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible represents one of the most significant years in Corvette history, introducing the revolutionary second-generation C2 platform that would become known as the Sting Ray.

This particular example shows approximately 426 miles and is presented in the timeless combination of Ermine White over a red vinyl interior with a matching white soft top. Equipped with a 327ci V8, desirable 4-speed manual transmission, and classic turbine-style wheel covers, this Corvette offers collectors and enthusiasts an opportunity to own one of Chevrolet’s most iconic designs in a highly attractive factory-style specification.

VERIFIED SELLER
$124,999

Few Corvettes command attention quite like a mid-year C2 Sting Ray, and this 1966 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible presents an especially intriguing blend of factory styling, long-term ownership, and high-performance upgrades. Showing approximately 39,045 miles, this iconic American sports car is finished in timeless Tuxedo Black over a Saddle vinyl interior, creating one of the most desirable color combinations available during the era. Adding to its appeal, the current owner reports having owned the car since 1971, representing more than five decades of stewardship. The current owner also reports that the car was repainted in its factory-correct Tuxedo Black finish in 1985, helping preserve its classic appearance. While originally produced during the golden age of big-block Corvettes, the current owner further reports that the car now houses a legendary L88-spec 427ci V8 engine swap, elevating its performance pedigree significantly. Additional highlights include a body-colored removable hardtop, factory teak wood steering wheel, Mako-inspired six-tail-light conversion, and included accessories such as a car cover, roof stand, original hardtop, and original convertible top.

$29,999

By 1992, Chevrolet had transformed the C4 Corvette into a thoroughly modern American sports car, and the introduction of the LT1 V8 marked one of the most significant upgrades in the model’s history. This Bright Red example is particularly special because it has traveled just 8,456 miles from new, placing it among the lowest-mileage C4 Corvettes on the market today. Finished in a striking red-on-red color combination and equipped with the desirable LT1 powertrain, removable roof panel, and iconic sawblade wheels, this Corvette presents an opportunity to own a remarkably preserved example of Chevrolet’s flagship performance car from the early 1990s.
