Overview of 1998 Chevrolet Corvette Custom Race Car For Sale by Owner

In the realm of automotive marketing, the concept of a "race car for the road" is often thrown around, but seldom does reality meet the hype. Striking the perfect balance between the thrill of a race car and the comfort of a sports car is a rarity. However, the 1998 Chevrolet Corvette Custom Race Car presented here defies convention. Boasting a modest 29,000 miles on the odometer and propelled by a potent 427ci V8 engine, this Corvette offers both creature comforts for cruising and the exhilaration of tearing down the track.

Exterior and Interior

Diverging from the typical race car aesthetics, this 1998 Chevrolet Corvette Custom Race Car retains its classic grey bodywork, embracing the iconic features of 90s Corvettes. While subtly incorporating enhancements like a front lip, side skirts, a 16lb carbon fiber hood, and an adjustable carbon fiber spoiler for improved downforce, it maintains a sleek and authentic appearance. Brown Fikse wheels housing upgraded Baer brakes underscore its performance focus. Inside, the black and tan interior seamlessly blends comfort and luxury—a rare combination in the realm of race cars. The inclusion of leather seats, equipped with Simpson 5-point racing harnesses, a mini shift light kit, gauges, and an interior roll bar for added safety exemplifies the fusion of race car functionality with everyday comfort.

Engine

At the heart of this C5 Corvette lies a rebuilt 427ci V8 powerhouse, delivering an impressive 620hp. The race-engine has undergone meticulous modifications, featuring Custom Wiseco Forged aluminum pistons, custom main rod bearings, and a 100-shot N20 NOS nitrous system with a window switch. Complementing its power are enhancements like a cone air filter and a Penske adjustable suspension. Safety takes precedence with the inclusion of a fire suppression system, providing reassurance in case of emergencies. The robust power generated by the upgraded engine is seamlessly transmitted to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual transmission, ensuring an exhilarating and controlled driving experience.

$49,999

The 1970 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Coupe comes from one of the most memorable periods of the C3 era, when dramatic bodywork and big-block power were at the heart of the Corvette formula. Showing 122,775 miles, this example is finished in Classic White over a Black interior and carries the desirable 454ci LS5 V8 paired with a 3-speed Turbo Hydra-Matic automatic transmission. Its combination of removable T-top roof panels, chrome bumpers, Rally wheels, and a rear luggage rack gives it the unmistakable look of an early C3, while power steering and power brakes add welcome usability. For enthusiasts drawn to the sound, torque, and presence of a big-block Stingray, this one delivers the right ingredients in a very traditional configuration.

Current Ask
$22,000

The 2004 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe represents the closing chapter of the C5 generation, a car that helped move the Corvette firmly into the modern performance era while still keeping the formula simple: a lightweight two-seat body, a naturally aspirated V8 up front, and power going to the rear wheels. Showing 67,134 miles, this example is finished in Machine Silver Metallic over a Black interior and pairs its 5.7L LS1 V8 with a 4-speed automatic transmission. More importantly for an enthusiast, it is equipped with the Z51 Performance Handling Package and a 3.15 performance axle ratio, giving this C5 a sharper edge than a standard touring-spec car. High-polished 5-spoke aluminum wheels, a Head-Up Display, dual removable roof panels, and the 1SB Preferred Equipment Group round out a specification that blends classic Corvette performance with the comfort and convenience that made the C5 such a capable everyday sports car.

2019 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Coupe 2LZ

Current Ask
$79,900

The 2019 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Coupe 2LZ sits right at the sweet spot of the C7 era, pairing old-school front-engine, rear-wheel-drive Corvette attitude with the kind of supercharged performance that turned the Z06 into one of the most memorable American performance cars of its generation. Showing 36,389 miles, this example already has plenty of presence in Sebring Orange Tintcoat, but it pushes the look even further with a Carbon Flash hood stinger stripe, Carbon Flash-painted mirrors, black-painted Z06 wheels, and a collection of aftermarket aero additions. The rear wing, front splitter, side skirts, rear diffuser, and rear-window louvers give it an even more aggressive profile, while the Jet Black perforated Mulan leather interior and 2LZ Preferred Equipment Group keep the cabin from feeling stripped down or one-dimensional. It is the kind of Corvette that delivers the visual drama enthusiasts expect from a Z06 while still retaining enough comfort and convenience to make it more than just a weekend toy.
