Description

When it debuted in 1997, the fifth generation of Chevy's Corvette was considered by many as the beginning of the modern era of the General's halo car. Lasting almost a decade, this 1999 Chevrolet Corvette represents the final time a 'Vette would have a 1 at the beginning of its model year. With just 90,103 believed actual miles on its odometer, the also believed original Torch Red paint looks very good for being more than a quarter century old. With its swoopy lines and removable targa top, this Corvette is perfect for anyone who wasn't able to buy one of these gems the first time around.

Inside, we find a beautifully redone black leather interior. A locking center console separates a pair of supportive power bucket seats sporting custom embroidery on the headrests. A power-assisted, four-spoke, padded steering wheel featuring the Crossed Flags emblem sits just ahead of the six-pod analog gauge cluster featuring a 7,000 RPM tachometer and 200 mph speedometer. The factory AC Delco AM/FM/CD head unit provides more than enough entertainment. Meanwhile, power mirrors, locks, and windows, along with dual-zone climate control, cruise control, air conditioning, and a trick Heads-Up Display, offer all the modern amenities required for a comfortable drive.

Under the signature front-hinged hood, we find a numbers-matching overhead valve 5.7-liter LS1 V-8 engine. With its beautiful Corvette valve covers, aluminum blocks and heads, and composite intake manifold, this modern small block was capable of pumping out an impressive 345 horsepower at 5,600 rpm and 350 pound-feet of torque at 4,400 rpm. That power is routed through a rear-mounted 4L60E four-speed automatic transmission before being transferred to the tarmac via a set of staggered Z06a-style wheels, measuring 17 inches in the front and 18 inches in the rear.
