One-owner, 19k Mile 2003 Chevrolet Corvette 50th Anniversary
Description
After almost 15 years with the fourth-generation Corvette, GM released the most radically new version of America’s sports car since the model’s debut in 1953. The new C5 was both lighter and stiffer than the C4 thanks to hydroformed frame rails, and featured a transaxle that both improved weight distribution and enhanced interior space. Drive-by-wire throttle and variable effort power steering were other new features but, most importantly, the C5 Corvette introduced the world to the all-aluminum LS V8 engine. With almost a quarter million Corvettes built from 1997 to 2004, Chevrolet would offer a number of limited production models including the 50th Anniversary model in 2003 celebrating half a century of Corvette production.

Ownership History
Previously owned by a National Corvette Museum member, windshield stickers indicate this Corvette was a part of the official C5 Corvette Registry. According to the accompanying CARFAX, this car was purchased through ELCO Chevrolet in Ballwin, Missouri. Around 2013, the first and only owner relocated to Florida, bringing this Corvette with him in the process before it was acquired by the selling dealer.
