50th ANNIVERSARY VETTE, ONLY 36K MILES, ALL STOCK & ORIGINAL, GREAT CONDITION

When it's anniversary time, M definitely manages to build some gorgeous Corvettes. Forget the gaudy, ver-dressed pace cars, f you want a beautiful C5, his wonderfully sophisticated 2003 50th Anniversary Corvette convertible is the smartest choice.Chevy kept it simple for the Corvette's 50th, nd while some fans expected something more unique and special, he truth is that this car IS unique and special. The Anniversary Red paint has a depth and color that makes you want to touch it and it hugs the smooth Corvette panels in a seductive way that's not flashy but rather elegant, on't you think? Like many anniversary models, his one was treated like it was something special from the very beginning and seems to defy the years (has it been more than a decade already?!?) and miles with a brilliant shine and very few signs of use. The owner obviously was fastidious about keeping it cleaned and shined, s well as resisting the urge to add all those bolt-ons that you see on lesser cars. Instead, t's simply a stunning Corvette with just enough special details to make it worthy of the 50th Anniversary badges it wears on the front fenders. The anniversary cars also got a special interior called "Shale." It's not quite gray and not quite tan, ut seems to echo the hue of the special magnesium wheels and it works quite well with the red paint. Like the exterior, he interior has been expertly maintained and shows only very minor signs of use. Carrying the optional sport seats, he driver's compartment is comfortable and functional, ne of the biggest triumphs of the all-new C5 design. Other options include the 1SB preferred equipment group, agnetic Ride Control, he heads-up display, ual-zone climate control, nd a powerful AM/FM/CD stereo that sounds fantastic. Special 50th anniversary embroidery on the seats helps identify this car as something special, s do the matching floor mats, ut Shelby could take a lesson from the Corvette guys about how many logos to put on their cars. Peel back the matching convertible top, hich features a class rear window with a defroster, nd it stows under the "waterfall" hard deck for a clean, mooth look. And even with the top down, he C5 offers a roomy trunk that makes this 2-seat convertible surprisingly practical.The engine is the same LS1 found in other Corvettes, ut that's hardly a bad thing. Smooth, orquey, nd virtually indestructible, t's a great companion for this Corvette. It's completely stock under the hood, nd again I tip my hat to the owner for resisting the siren call of the myriad modifications available for these cars. Not that a modified Corvette is bad, ut when you're talking about putting one in your own garage, tock is always the smart investment. It's backed by a 4-speed automatic transaxle and optional "performance" 3.15 gears in the rear end, o it just loafs along at highway speeds and the legends of Corvettes pulling down 27 MPG is no joke. It's quite clean underneath, oo, nd all the factory equipment is intact, rom the exhaust system to the shocks. And those lovely wheels are truly special, s they're forged aluminum anniversary pieces wearing 245/45/17 front and 275/40/18 rear Michelin radials.Documents include the owner's manual, reproduction build sheet, nd window sticker. If there's a C5 to hang on to for posterity, t's probably the Anniversary model. And even if it doesn't turn into a major investment, t least you'll have the honor of owning the prettiest C5 ever made. Call today!
