Unlike so many other sports cars, the fifth-generation Corvette's beauty has stood the test of time. Introduced in 1997 and bowing out in 2004, the C5 marked the beginning of a new era for Chevy's halo car, with its evolutionary LS1 aluminum small block and hydroformed suspension rails. This particular 2004 Chevrolet Corvette Commemorative Edition Convertible not only celebrates the final year of the C5, but also Chevy's win at Le Mans. With just 42,498 actual miles on the odometer, this 'Vette sports its original body panels, Le Mans Blue paint, and tan convertible top.
Underneath that top, we find a shale-colored leather factory interior and matching Commemorative bucket seats. Being GM's top-tier sports car means this C5 comes with power windows, locks, seats, and mirrors, as well as cruise control, air conditioning, and a trick Heads-Up Display, allowing you to keep your eyes on the road at all times.
Pop open the Corvette's signature front-hinged hood, and you are treated to a pristine engine bay with a Procharged 5.7-liter LS1 V-8. Those supercharged ponies are sent through a set of long tube headers complete with dual electric cutouts before exiting via a sweet-sounding MagnaFlow exhaust. The plaque on the engine's intake boasts 570 hp, and we have no reason to doubt its legitimacy given this car's modifications. A six-speed manual transmission allows you to fully engage with this blown beast, all while enjoying the wind whipping through your hair for as far and as fast as you dare to go.
