1997 Chevrolet Corvette Targa Top C5 LS1
1997 Chevrolet Corvette Description
Up for auction is a 1997 Corvette we named Shake N Bake...like Ricky Bobby's Corvette. Car originally came from Cleveland Ohio. Owned by an older man who bought it new. He passed and his son got it. His son moved to Vegas and had it in the garage for a few years. I bought the car and had it for 2 years haven't had time to drive it. Its too nice to sit in the garage and I have too many other project cars that take up my time.
The Good the Bad and the ugly.... Car doesn't leak anything. Starts up every time, runs good, sounds awesome. Has SLP Loudmouth Exhaust. New Nitto Tires up front and good tread on the Goodyear Runflats in the rear. AC is cold. Gauges and lights all work good. The Air/AC Control does not light up but works fine. Has new fuel filter. Engine Compartment is extremely clean, Underside of Car is extremely clean. Driver Seat has rip on bolster but otherwise all leather on seats is nice. Armrests on doors have the notorious C5 wrinkle but console lid works perfect. Paint is in great shape for 20 years old. Has some fine scratches and a marks on the hood/front bumper that was touched up. Paint is original other than passenger door was repainted at some point...only reason I can tell is because I run a very high end bodyshop. Stripes and Rear Bumper around exhaust is painted black with Plasti Dip...so it will come off if you want it to. Targa top has clear pealing off...not very noticeable but I'm trying to be honest here. Most people have no Idea the car is 20 years old because of the shape its in. All glass is in great shape...still has roadside assistance stickers on driver door glass... Windows and all buttons work. Car has been lowered a bit, Has C6 Comp 18"-19" Wheels.
Overall this is a perfect example of how nice these cars are. Shoot me a message if there is anything you want to know.
