2000 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible
Description
OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE
After nearly 15 years with the fourth-generation Corvette, General Motors unveiled the most significantly redesigned iteration of America's sports car since its inception in 1953. The new C5 was stiffer and lighter than the previous generation C4 due to the innovative use of hydroformed frame rails and featured a transaxle that improved not only the weight distribution but also increased interior space. Other new features included a drive-by-wire throttle and a variable effort power steering system, but most notably, the C5 would introduce the world to the now legendary all-aluminum LS V8 engine. Initially available with the 350 horsepower LS1 V8, the C5 quickly gained a reputation as a rugged and reliable performer. The Convertible model joined the lineup in 1999, adding open-air motoring to the list of desirable qualities of the C5 Corvette.
