1999 Chevrolet Corvette Convertable - Euro Vette Convertable

1999 Chevrolet Corvette Description

1999 CHEVROLET EURO VETTE CONVERTIBLE. These Corvettes were produced in Bowling Green right along side all the other Vette's, but with options for European export. We've all seen the old classics, and who wouldn't like to own one of them? I knew a guy that had a 69 L 88 back in the mid seventies, he flaired the fender wells, put some big tires on it and raced that ol' Vette all over town. Then he got married and settled down, I remember the day I stopped by his house and setting in the driveway in the place of that Vette, there sat a brand new Ford LTD. I'll bet he wants to slap himself every time he thinks about that L 88. But you know, we all did the same thing, I owned a 64 1/2 GTO and a 67 Camaro SS, sure wish I'd held on to at least one of them, oh well, it's all water under the bridge now. I think that's what you have here, the opportunity to purchase an extremely rare car. GM only made a few, best calculation is less than 100 of the Euro Vette Convertible's were produced in 1999. Out of the whole C5 production run from 1997 to 2004 not more than 5000 Corvette's were exported to Europe. This listing is a very real chance to own a genuine low production Chevrolet Corvette. Most of the options are subtle, the average person wouldn't even notice. An extra light here or there, the button for the trunk release was relocated from the dash to the console, on the dash where the trunk button was located, now there is a switch to control the back up fog lamps. The oil pressure gage is in kPa and the water temp ins in Celsius, but no one is going to mistake that 300 mph speedo. To many Euro options to list here, I'll put a photo of the RPO codes in this listing, you can look them up yourself if your so inclined. This car was originally titled in Gombrook, Manchester, England. the original owners brought the car to the US in 2003. I purchased the car in January of 2006. I have always treated this car gently and kept it in the garage, the motor and drive train do not have any issues. I service the car regularly and only use Mobil 1 oil, has new tires, A-C blows cold air, heads up display, the interior and exterior look great. In 1999 GM didn't produce very many Corvette's for European export, a couple of hundred total, and of these no more than 100 were convertibles. That being said, it doesn't take a genious to figure how rare of an opportunity you have to purchase what is sure to be a classic. Cars like the 1969 L88 Corvette, low production numbers are what made those cars what they are today. That's what's being offered right here, it's just a 1999 Vette, but with the European export options, this is a genuine GM product with less than 100 examples in the world. I heard about a 63 Euro Vette that sold for 350 grand a couple a years back, that car wasn't really anything special, the kicker was that it was a low production European export. Put 30 more years on this car, no telling what it'll be, because you know, those crazy driving Europeans will wreck all there Vette's by then, this might be the only one left, who knows. Hey, if your stuck in Europe and are looking a Euro Vette over here because can't find one over there, don't contact me, this car is staying in America. If your a Vette guy and your making low ball offers to every one on ebay, don't even waste your time with this one. If your a serious car guy and your looking for an unusual car that you ain't going to find anywhere else, give me a shout. Click on the image to view larger pictures, thanks for looking.
