The 1998 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible belongs to the fifth generation (C5) of the mighty American sports car. This particular generation is praised globally for its exceptional build quality and engineering innovations. It was produced for seven years, from 1997 through 2004, while the Convertible model was first introduced for the 1998 model year. Here, we have one of those early examples, but not in its stock form. This 1998 Corvette Convertible has been heavily modified with upgraded internals to crank out around 150 horses more than its stock output. It is also fitted with several upgraded cosmetic components, enhancing the aggressive exterior appeal of this mean machine. With 62,000 reported miles on the odometer, this open-top Corvette is in impressive condition. The current owner reports a recent oil change and a new set of tires.
The exterior design of the 1998 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible represents a combination of retro and modern styling. Its popup headlamps and beige soft-top convertible roof are the most eye-catching exterior elements. However, this Corvette has been enhanced with an aggressive-looking, functional L80 hood scoop, along with blacked-out wheels and a rear spoiler. This one-of-a-kind build gives it a unique appeal that is visually aggressive yet elegant at the same time. On the inside, the interior is trimmed in black while the seats are specced in black and beige upholstery with contrasting red stitching and LS1 embroidered badging. The central infotainment system is an aftermarket unit from Bose, with Bluetooth connectivity.
The 1998 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible is powered by a naturally aspirated 5.7-liter V8 engine, dubbed LS1. This motor, in its stock form, outputs 345 horsepower and 350 lb-ft of maximum torque and comes mated to a 6-speed manual transmission. However, this Corvette has been heavily reworked and enhanced with upgraded components. The current owner reports new upgraded aftermarket camshaft, headers, and a new Hurst shifter. These upgrades result in a whopping reported power output of 500 horsepower, which is a significant upgrade over the stock car. To put a leash on all those horses, the car gets vented disc brakes at all four corners. The suspension has also been augmented with a lift kit comprising front and rear independent setups with transverse composite leaf springs and short/long arms. In conclusion, this 1998 Corvette Convertible is a tastefully specced machine with notable performance enhancements.

All Info As Reported by Current Owner
The current generation of the Chevrolet Corvette is great in its own right. It's a razor-focused track machine that saw massive changes to its power delivery and set up. While it’s all nice to clock some rapid lap times, one might argue that it has lost its all American Corvette touch. Ever felt that way? This 2019 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Coupe 2LZ is the perfect blend of that old school Corvette vibe and new age performance. Better yet, this particular modern muscle has just a reported 25,206 miles on its clock.
Nearly approaching twenty years of age, this sixth-generation or C6 2006 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible is an excellent way to set yourself up for the future. You see, the C6 generation brought significant changes to the Corvette, in the form of a larger passenger cabin, a lower and meaner stance, a more powerful engine, and much more when it debuted for the 2005 model year. These cars are not too old that you’ll have to forego modern comforts, but they will enter the classic category in a decade or so. That’s why a car like this 25,473-miler from Naples, Florida, is a great buy. It’s not only a fantastic drop-top sports car from a signature American automaker, but it’s sure to appreciate as an investment too, as long as its properly maintained.
One of the most iconic modern classic Corvettes is the fourth generation or C4 era. Spanning 1984 to 1996, the C4 was a total redesign over the Mako Shark II-inspired C3. Out went the pumped, muscular styling and in came new, crisp, computer-aided design work. It’s no surprise that posters of the C4 adorned many a bedroom wall at the time, and those who were lucky enough to buy one brand-new felt like they were on top of the world. Today, we’ve got a 1992 Chevrolet Corvette for sale, from Indiana with just 66,307 miles to its name. The current owner informs us that the original documents are included, the car’s received a recent servicing, and comes with a car cover too.
The Chevrolet brand set the standard for American automobiles in the 60s, and it only takes one look at this 1965 Chevrolet Chevelle Deluxe Wagon to understand why. The simple and straightforward nature of the car speaks to the American spirit. With the wagon form, this Chevelle packed with a host of upgrades, after reportedly undergoing a full restoration with a 410 hp 383ci stroker engine, a new paint job in 2015 according to the current owner, aftermarket wheels, new tires and an all-new interior. If you’re looking for an classic that is unique, then this Chevelle is what you’re looking for.
The Chevrolet Monte Carlo is a two-door coupe that was positioned in the personal luxury car space. Of course, with a name like Monte Carlo, you can glean that it’s meant for the upmarket segment. Made across six generations, you could buy a brand-new Monte Carlo as recently as 2007. However, the classic Monte Carlos are the ones to get, such as this Pennsylvania-based, second generation 1974 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Landau. With a reported 40,805 original miles, this car is waiting for its next fortunate owner.
Chevrolet’s Camaro came to the market in 1967 and had a long production run across six generations. It’s only in 2024 that the Camaro said goodbye to the world, which, as you may imagine, didn’t sit well with pony car enthusiasts. Today, we have a Camaro from the fourth generation, which ran between 1993 and 2002. This generation sits in an interesting place, as it’s going to enter classic status quite soon, but still offers some modern features and a suitably engaging driving experience. That’s why getting your hands on this all-stock, 41,644-mile 2001 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 SS from Lady Lake, Florida, will be a smart purchase. The car has reportedly undergone a recent servicing too.
The Audi R8 was Audi’s way of showing the world that they could make a captivating and engaging sports car. When it debuted in 2006, jaws dropped aplenty as this smart two-seater made waves, not only in Europe, but in the USA and many other regions too. In late 2015, Audi introduced the second-generation R8. Today, we’ve got a 2015 Audi R8 Carbon Spyder for sale with just 36,993 miles on its odometer. This reportedly all-stock car resides in East Ellijay, Georgia, and comes with all servicing history up to date, we’re told.
There comes a time when a manufacturer creates perfection and then finds it hard to get back to that sort of perfection with their later models. Turn back the clock to the early 2000s and this was exactly the case with BMW and their legendary M5. Built to suit a legendary marque, the BMW E60 M5 carried on the torch from the iconic E39 and provided the world with performance thats not only blistering but practical. Present today is this 2006 BMW M5. With a reported 63,215 miles on its clock, this legendary BMW performance machine is built to bring you smiles per gallon, better yet, there is space for family and friends to join you for the ride.
The Porsche 911 started out in 1964 with an air-cooled engine and a fun-to-drive demeanor. Then, turbo models and special editions came, and Porsche had created a legacy. Over the past many decades, the 911 has grown, evolved and become more sporty and luxurious. Its engine switched to water cooling in 1998, but has always remained in the tail of the car, slung out behind the rear axle. This makes for some entertaining handling characteristics for keen drivers to exploit. Today, we’ve got a 2006 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S from the 997 generation up for sale with just 63,500 miles on the clock. The 997 generation was made between 2004 and 2013, and is considered to be an excellent place to start if you’re searching for your first 911 but don’t want to buy brand-new. This Phoenix-located car also comes with all servicing up to date.
