2001 Corvette convertible - Magnetic red, black leather, 6-speed

2001 Chevrolet Corvette Description

Presenting one of the most unusual 2001 Chevrolet Corvettes offered on eBay. This beautiful Magnetic Red convertible with a black leather interior and top was a retirement present from General Motors to the original owner in 2001. This gentleman, whose name will be revealed to the purchaser of this fine automobile, put the car up for sale on eBayin 2005, after he purchased a new Corvette, and I was the winning bidder.I AM THE SECOND OWNER, NOT THE THIRD.
The original window sticker comes with the car, and indicates that this Corvette was delivered TO General Motors. The sticker price of this car with standard equipment was $46,605; and additional equipment included Corvette Convertible Preferred Equipment Group 1 ($1,800), polished aluminum wheels ($1,200), 6-speed manual transmission ($815), magnetic red tint coat ($600), AM/FM, stereo with CD player ($100), body-side molding ($75), floor mats ($25), destination charge ($645), for a total delivered price of $51,865.
With only 17,xxx original miles on the car when I brought it, I have added about 30,000 miles to the total over the last 11 years,predominately highway miles with a few Florida trips thrown in. It is always garaged and covered when not driven, and itnever has been out to play in the snow, ice and salt. It does have a few minor chips on the nose, most of which are almost invisible. The interior sun visorshave had the lighted mirrors come loose. The run-flat tires were replaced with identical tires at the 28,000-mile-mark, and a new batterywas installed last year. It has had some bodywork done at the local Chevrolet dealer after a minor parking-lot incident in 2006. and a dented door edge (garage incident this year - opened door into wall) has been repaired.
With all that said, the car is beautiful, well-maintained, tight, fast, and so much fun to drive. The original owner told me that he had driven the car at 175 mph on the GM test track, and I believe him - it has that much power and control. I am selling all of my small collection of vehicles (1966 Ford Mustang convertible on eBay, 1966 Ford Fairlane 2-door hardtop on eBay, and a very rare, original-owner 1981 Honda CBX 6-cylinder motorcycle, to be featured on eBay) due to a disability caused by an accident. They are all garaged on my property, and are great vehicles. More pictures are available - just email me for links to the three cars.
