With the fourth-generation Corvette looking long-in-the-tooth for the Nineties, work began on a total redesign, resulting in the fifth-generation C5 Corvette debuting for the 1997 model year. Sporting a seven-year production run, the C5 was the last of the pop-up headlamp era, and thus highly desirable among Corvettes, which is no tough task, given that everyone wants a bit of America’s sweetheart sports car at some point in their life. This 1998 Chevrolet Corvette has just 23,000 original miles, making it an absolute minter. It’s said to be a nicely maintained two-owner car as well.
The C5 saw a ground-up redesign over, and under the skin. It was available in three body styles, namely a coupe, convertible, and hardtop. This 1998 Chevrolet Corvette is of the hardtop variant, which is a targa removable top and painted in black, a lovely contrast to the Torch Red bodywork. Five-spoke silver alloys play host to tires that are reportedly like new, and the signature quad exhausts at the rear tell everyone that this Corvette is no slouch. At the front, one can’t help but be mesmerized by the pop-up headlamps which are augmented by traditional driving lamps. The interior is black and offers seating for two occupants, as Corvettes are typically affairs for two, maximum. There are leather seats, WeatherTech floor mats, dual-zone climate control, power windows, power mirrors and power door locks as part of the modern conveniences. The original Delco radio that these Corvettes came with from the factory has been replaced with a modern Pioneer head unit that offers CD, USB, and AUX options as well, and plays through the factory Bose speakers.
The C5 saw many changes under the skin, which this 1998 Chevrolet Corvette enjoys. For starters, the 5.7L (350ci) LS1 V8 gained a drive-by-wire throttle and put out 345hp to the rear wheels of this car via a 4L60E four-speed automatic transmission. Another notable factor of the C5 was the relocation of the transmission to the rear of the car, forming a transaxle and connected by a torque tube. This arrangement granted the C5 the magical 50-50% weight distribution figure. While manual transmission equipped C5s were faster, the automatic was no slouch, with a zero-to-sixty figure rated at under five seconds, and a top end close to 170mph.

Considering an eighth generation Corvette? We don’t blame you; Chevy’s sweetheart sports car is now a fearsome, baby supercar chaser. With its fighter-jet looks, mid-mounted V8, and capable handling, the C8 is a serious driver’s car. Yet, when you need, it can be as docile as a pussycat, as comfortable as any other car, and can even perform daily driving duties without so much as a grumble. That’s got to be reason enough to give this 2023 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible 3LT Z51 70th Anniversary Edition a new home. Want another reason? The car’s got under 3,000 miles on it. If you’re still on the fence, let us tell you a bit about this car.
Chevy’s fourth generation Corvette ran between 1984 and 1996, and was responsible for a major shift in America’s favorite sports car’s persona. The Corvette gained new, angular styling, a digital-style dashboard, more power, and enhanced handling. Mercifully, the much-loved pop-up headlamps were retained. Then, a high-performance variant called the ZR1 was introduced in 1990. The ZR1 drew heavily from Britain’s Lotus sports car maker. Enhancements included a new LT5 V8 engine, larger brakes and sportier suspension tuning. This makes the fourth-generation ZR1 one of the most sought-after neo-classic Corvettes. Here’s a great example up for grabs right now, a 1991 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 with just 69,000 miles on the clock. It’s got a rebuilt engine, while all info is as reported by the current owner.
The fifth generation Corvette was revealed in 1997, and would run until 2005. It is the last generation to have the pop-up headlamps, which were discontinued with 2005’s C6 due to inability to meet newer crash regulations. That’s why C5 Corvettes command a special place in the hearts of enthusiasts. That, plus the fact that the C5 has some neat engineering. For example, the transmission is at the rear of the car, coupled to the front-mounted engine via a torque tube that turns at engine speed. This arrangement enables the C5 to achieve the magic 50-50 front-rear weight distribution, vastly improving its handling over the C4. This, plus myriad other upgrades, makes the C5 a definitive future classic, as well as a sports car that you can still enjoy in 2024. So why not jump on the bandwagon of fun and buy this 2000 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible? This car comes with recent servicing, two keys, and 56,067 miles on the odometer.
