Description
Beautiful car lived its whole life in Arizona until last year when I bought it for my wife. She is a high school administrator (Principal) and will not drive the car because it is so beautiful she fears it will be vandalized. So it sits in the garage most of the time covered. It needs a good home where it will be enjoyed and used. Everything works A/C blows cold no mechanical issues very very clean car. Oh and did I mention very very very fast. Interior excellent condition. New tires on front about 2/3 worn on rear.

5. 1997 Corvette C5
While the C4 generation Corvette was capable, it wasn't until the C5 came along in 1997 that Chevrolet finally produced a Corvette that mixed both performance capability and true touring comfort. The C5 was the first Corvette that was as comfortable crossing the country as dicing for position on a racetrack.
The trick to the C5's uncanny balance was that the balance was engineered in from the beginning. The C5's basic structure was an all-new backbone frame that positioned the transmission between the rear wheels so its mass could offset the engine's mass up front. The result was better weight distribution.
Pushing the C5's advantage even further was the brilliant all-new LS1 5.7-liter V8. The first all-aluminum V8 used in a volume production Corvette, and GM's first all-new small-block since 1955, the LS1 produced 345 hp and a seamless ribbon of torque. And it was quick, too. With the four-speed automatic transmission it would run from zero to 60 mph in just over 5 seconds. With the six-speed manual, that time would drop to just under 5 seconds.
