2002 CORVETTE Well Equipped & Fresh 6-Speed Manual
“All generations of Corvettes have offered something unique to sports car fans with the C5 known for its engineering. Even the Society of Automotive Engineers selected the vehicle as the ‘Best Engineered Car of the 20th Century’ because of its redesigned small block V8 engine and lighter, quicker performing body.” Borla.com C5 page
A magnificent silver Corvette that is well equipped, cosmetically good and running strong. It is factory equipped with black leather, heads-up display, and power everything including dual climate control and power seats. C5 Corvettes are reliable grand touring cars which provide supercar performance yet can be serviced at a dealer or local garage. One issue with the C5 series is the original manual 6-speed gearbox which often caused significant (and expensive) problems and/or failure. This car was no exception and a new transmission, flywheel and clutch assembly were dealer installed (3,000 miles ago) and feel fantastic.
The car is mostly stock and sports the body color lift off roof (which may be stored in the hatchback cargo area). I have freshened it with a set of TSW Nurburgring light alloy wheels (17F & 18R) shod with Cooper Zeon RS3-S ultra-high performance tires (wheels and tires have approximately 3,000 miles). Additionally, the new owner will receive the stock Corvette aluminum wheels with tires (one of which leaks and needs repair). The sound system is updated with a new KENWOOD Excelon CD Receiver (Bluetooth, USB, etc.) with great speakers. The factory exhaust was replaced with a long-life stainless steel performance BORLA exhaust which looks aggressive and sounds spectacular. The windows are professionally tinted. A nice fitted indoor/outdoor Corvette car cover is also included.
It does have some minor blemishes (stone chips, door edge, mirror, etc.) but it has no history of accident or bodywork, looks great, runs strong and needed repairs and maintenance are done. As nice as this car is, I recognize that most Corvettes are also well kept and it has been priced accordingly but in light of the recent upgrades, service & nice condition. Clean and clear title in hand; you will not be disappointed in this remarkably well preserved Corvette.
