Basic information and history
The Chevrolet Corvette C5 Convertible is an icon among sports cars, known for its classic American V8 character, period lines and modern performance. An unmistakable collector's item that combines power and comfort for wonderful miles on the open road. This example stands out as unusually well-maintained, neither rebuilt nor bolted, which is rare on the market today. With only just over 57,160 km and an impressive original feel, it is a unique opportunity to buy a convertible with a strong car enthusiast profile.
The car is imported from Germany but has previously had 8 users in Sweden , some of whom have been dealers. The current owner bought the car from Kullabygdens Bil in Höganäs after a long search for the right C5 Cabriolet. It has only been used as a summer car, which is evident from the glass and the general condition of the car.
The plastic body means that rust does not exist. All of the car's windows are engraved. The odometer reading can be guaranteed according to the owner's information. Appreciated by car enthusiasts for its fine original condition and low mileage!

Body and exterior: The paint is in very good condition considering the age of the car, and the number of defects is few. Minor scratches and the like are clearly shown in the attached pictures. The body is entirely made of plastic, which means that there is no rust. The glass surfaces are free of blasting or scratches and show that the car has only been driven as a summer car. Chrome, moldings, headlight lenses and emblems are all in very well-kept and clean condition.
Interior: Very nice and fresh interior without traces of retrofitted accessories. Steering wheel, controls and buttons have no visible wear, the headliner is intact and clean. Only the floor mats are probably not in original condition and are slightly worn.
Tires/rims: Front tires have dry cracks but 30–40% tread depth remaining, rear tires have approximately 50–60% tread depth remaining. Rims on the right side have some edge bumps (see pictures).
Mechanics and function: The engine starts easily and works very well. The gearbox is in good condition, shifts perfectly and offers a choice of three driving modes. The brakes work as they should.
