2003 Chevrolet Corvette 50th Anniversary Convertible

Description

This 2003 Chevrolet Corvette 50th Anniversary convertible was a collectible from the moment it left Bowling Green. That's why it has been treated with the highest respect from day one. So if you're looking for a collector-grade example, it will be hard to do better than a one-owner six-speed drop-top with nearly impossibly low mileage.

Anniversary Red Metallic is the kind of color that was specially made just for this limited edition. It mixes the red-blooded love for America's sports car, and it gives it a deeper tone out of respect for reaching the half-century mark. There are fewer total miles on the odometer than some cars do in a year, so you will have to look hard to even find signs of the few times this one was on the road. So it still has that radiant look in the sunshine where Corvette fans can recognize the special hue from across a parking lot. The well-respected body panels let you see everything from the wind-formed profile, to the little details, like the subtle crease in the hood's power bulge. Because the paint does a great job of announcing this is a special car, Chevy realized that there doesn't need to be any more of a boastful announcement. So they wisely made the badging for the 50th anniversary refined with exclusive pieces for the front and fenders. And the champagne-colored alloy wheels are like giving a toast to celebrate the milestone moment.

These special edition cars received a special Shale convertible top. And if you like the way this looks against the red, then you'll really love opening this up to the work to show off the Shale leather interior. Just like the exterior, you're looking at an exceptional level of preservation over every inch. This continues to go for subtle elegance in commemorating the golden anniversary with special embroidery in the leather sport seats. This came from the factory loaded with features like power seats, power windows, power locks, keyless entry, cruise control, a head-up display (HUD), a tilt steering column, and an AM/FM/CD stereo with Bose speakers that knows how to deliver crisp and clean sound even when the top is down. In fact, while the mileage is so low, it will be hard to resist adding to the odometer. That's because you can enjoy open-top motoring just about any time of year thanks to the dual-zone automatic A/C climate control.

The engine bay has the clean look of a well-maintained and one-owner car. This is a 5.7-liter fuel-injected LS1 V8. The motor was part of a new era in Corvette performance, and so it really is the right powerhouse to have to celebrate the 50th anniversary. With 350 horsepower, performance is a guarantee. Best of all, you can dial in how mild or wild you want your ride with the control of the six-speed manual transmission - a desirable option that was on less than 1/4 of '03 models. And speaking of control, another hallmark of the anniversary cars is the ultra-desirable adjustable magnetic ride control. It was a terrific innovation that lets you have a hardcore sports car or a proper grand tourer with just the turn of a dial. It comes with more great driver features like power steering, four-wheel power disc brakes, and Michelin Pilot Sport tires.

For those who are interested in rarity, this one is also a Canadian market car. It's just one more part of the distinction of a loaded 50th anniversary car that has been well preserved over every inch. The sale even comes complete with the owner's manual. So if you're looking for a collector's Corvette in top collector condition, you know this special edition convertible is the one. Call today!!!
