Dealer # 40339. This AMAZING 1997 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe was one of the last projects undertaken by Custom Car Legend BOYD CODDINGTON before his untimely death. Boyd and his crew worked their magic on my customer's Vette as a gift to him, for bringing many high-profile customers to Boyd .. but the value of the Boyd work alone is valued at $25K or more... the Boyd Coddington signature is embroidered into the interior. Plus add in a great condition, very well-maintained C5 Corvette with show-stopping Black paint with the new Boyd glove-soft red leather interior. The owner of this car is more meticulous than even an airline pilot.. and after Boyd bestowed this car with it's beauty six years ago the owner barely drove it to keep it pristine in his honor.. but now it's time to send it to a good home, with someone who will appreciate it's place in Car Customizing history... Here are just some of the juicy details: Airflow system etc has increased the horsepower to over 400 hp, Battery Kill Switch, DVD, mult-disc CD, Back-up Camera, Carbon Fiber Rear Spoiler, Toggle Switches, Glove-soft bright Red custom interior w/Corvette embroidery, Custom red disc brakes, $4000 worth of glittering Savini Forged Signature Wheels & NEW 100% Thread Nito tires.. 20" in back, 19" up front, cell phone holder, Polished aluminum shift knob, Bose Stereo, Air effects / spoiler, mesh grills, leather sun visors, tinted window and sun roof panel, Chrome roll bars, high-quality matching red carpeting .... I'm sure I am forgetting something, but you can be assured this is one of the nicest C5 Vettes around.. eveyrone pays attention to it.. and don't let the 125,000 miles deter you since the owner of this car has always maintained it above & beyond the call of duty and improved it... and with Boyd's touches, you can't go wrong with this head-turning black beauty !!!! PS - the Auto Check on this car shows a manufacturer callback at the 30 mile point when it was brand new... that means that whatever was wrong with it way back then was rectified right away by GM / Chevrolet and the car was as good as new after that.. our current owner has had the car for over 10 years and never had any problems , just regular normal routine maintenance and minor repairs... also, I have owned many C5 Corvettes and I have driven this one several times and it runs and drives almost better than new due to the Boyd Coddington touches and the owner's loving care and mantenance... it drives more like a car with just 30 or 40 Thousand miles and not like a car with over 100,000 miles.. so buy with confidence.. this is an amazing car for the money !!!! Please note, I am a boutique classic car dealer in Nevada, so any Nevada residents who purchase this car to register in Nevada will need to pay a 8.1 % Nevada sales tax and a $99 documentation fee... but I have taken this into consideration in the great-value pricing of this car. Come to Vegas to party and drive home an incredible vehicle that is quite a lot of class, fun and quality for the money !
