1997 Chevrolet Corvette Description

This is a Very Special Corvette. I have been the proud owner of this car a few years now but with 4 cars and 6 kids, (1 being newborn) it's time for another enthusiast to care of it and enjoy it like I have. This is One of few 1997 C5 in pristine condition in and out. The paint is Original and shines like new. Floor mats and interior are in very good condition. This is non-smoker car. Trunk and all areas are clean without odors or stains. The car is as clean as it can be without being new. Everything works, even the vanity lights on both sides. This Corvette has been garaged and protected and it shows. Hard to find anything like it. Mechanically this corvette is solid. Gear box is 6 speed manual and works perfectly. Engine is at 400hp with cold air intake and Borla Exhaust that gives it a wonderful sound. Car has 97875 true miles and it shows. This car is an economical rocket on the highway and gives 32 miles per gallon cruising in gear 6. I recently did a 900 miles (about $95 in gas) trip from Atlanta to south Texas and It performed without any issues. I would drive this car anywherewithout hesitation.
Following work was done at (Famous) Vette Smith in Miami 07/16/2013New A/C Compressor w/clutchNew accumulatorNew Water PumpTwo new fan beltsNew hose A/C Low sideFull service, fluids, oils, etc at a substantial cost. All this at 94308 miles.
I have the original pouch with owners manual etc in New condition. Even the corvette pen that came with it is still there. Two sets of keeys with fobs that works perfectly. Ice cold A/C, Original Sound System that works like new. Newer tires in great shape. It also has something very rare and it came with that from the factory. The targa top seems solid black from the outsidebut it is glass and you can see out from the inside.I have not done much research but it may be a rare pre production or one of the launch corvettes for the C5 model. It feels much stronger and faster than a normal C5. Whoever buys it will love it.
The car is 20 years old and as such it has to have some flaws righ? Well, the few flaws I found are:Paint on a small portion on one corner of the glass targa top is starting to crack but is is a very small area and barely visible, drivers seat has no holes but has a few small spots that would need leather paint and there is a small parking rash of the right side of the car that should be easilyfixed with buffingthe area. I think that is pretty good for a 20 years old car that has never been fixed, repaired or changed in any way.
I am providing many pictures and will answer any questions.I am very detail oriented and very honest. I am an Airline Captain and as such i like things done right.
Before I forget, I have a set (very difficult to find) Shop manuals for C5 1997 that I will include with the car. This set is 20 years old but in new condition and worth a lot. It came with the car and it's part of this car so they are included.
