1999 CHEVROLET CORVETTE FRC Rare "Hardcore" Fixed Roof Coupe (Only 6121 Produced between 1999-2000) 1999 Chevrolet Corvette FRC Short Shift Kit • 85k Low Miles • 370 Horsepower est. (345 Stock) Coil Over Suspension • Honker Air Intake • Slotted Rotors • HID Headlights Low Miles • Spectacular Exterior & Interior • Highend Mods Backstory from the owner... You are looking for the nicest, best kept, best maintained Corvette you can find. You are here because the excellence in your neck of the woods, by any measure, is a joke. I know exactly how you feel. I attend specialty and dealer-only auctions every week searching for the best of the best in what I call "niche autos." I scan lists of over 3,000 vehicles locally each week and select cars I've come to know are hard to find and that fit my business model of marketing exclusively on eBay. C5 Corvettes make it onto my own list any time they show up but just a small number (3 or so a week if I'm lucky) appear at one of the three major auctions here in the Las Vegas area or perhaps the local classifieds. During the past 12 years doing business, I'll see 100 or more annually and what that means for you is; I have looked at, touched, smelled and walked away from a lot of Corvettes. I am extremely picky and this FRC is one of just a handful worthy my hard earned money. Past ownership, service history and condition, condition, condition are what matters. High performance vehicles are not always treated well, but a precious few are taken care of and given proper respect. This particular Corvette is one of those rare finds; beautiful paint, spectacular interior, service history and an absolute knock-out to see in person. As good as my pictures are, they can't possibly show the excellence of quality this car instantly conveys in real life. What else could you want? A great deal? I have that covered too but you will not be purchasing this fine automobile for wholesale or even low book value. You already know you get what you pay for and if you want unmatched quality, service and near new-car condition, this Corvette is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Examine every picture in detail, see the amazing condition, up close and personal and then make your call and give me an offer. I promise, you will not be disappointed. Doug - Viva Las Vegas Autos, Inc. Why do we present our cars with models? Because it's fun and it gets your attention. It's also Las Vegas. What more could you expect? Let's be clear, the models pictured with the vehicles are paid for the express purpose of showing off and presenting them. They are not included with the sale of the vehicles or available to go with them at any point during the presentation online. In other words, Models Not Included But included with this sale, the winning bidder that does complete the transaction will receive all digital photographs of the vehicle and the models if they want them. CALL ME! OFFERS GET MY ATTENTION: 702-353-7500 or Doug@vivalasvegasautos.com Before you send me that awful question, "what's your reserve or bottom line", let's take a moment to explain the book value below and how to get a deal on eBay. Book values from the NADA Guide and other sources online are not fictitious figures or double reality as most low bidders would hope for. They are actual figures produced from transactions all over the country on similar vehicles. In other words, they are quite accurate. Over 28 years in the business, dealers like myself , buy and sell according to theses researched values. I always enjoy those who bid figures that are well below book values, it's somewhat entertaining, but it never gets them the vehicles they dream for; especially when those vehicles are in top level condition like ours. We are here to sell cars. With twelve years exclusively on eBay and perfect feedback, it's obvious we do. How? Well, that's easy too. Real buyers with serious offers in mind call us. They almost always want to talk to the person in charge; that's me. I want to talk to you too and help you own this awesome vehicle. It keeps me in business. So, if you want a fantastic vehicle like you see here, one that is far above the average in condition, serviced and documented like this, simply call. Asking through email for my bottom line? Well, I just think you're not too serious or willing to make an offer; makes it a waste of my time and yours. If you just want to know what the market value is, do what we do, look at NADA Guide and other online sources. Does that mean we always hope to get exactly book value, above or below? That's a loaded question. Depends on the rarity, miles and condition. Most important though, since you "are" a serious and capable buyer, call me and let's talk. I don't wear a Plaid Coat, I don't talk really fast and I am the guy in charge, the owner, enthusiast and purveyor of some of the finest cars on the internet...not to mention the best thorough presentations. Let's make a deal...Call me Doug 702-353-7500 We Want Your Business Please call and we can discuss your serious and intelligent offer. Be confident your intent to buy will be met by me, the owner, courteously.

Total 1999 production was 33,270 but the Bowling Green facility built just 4,031 hardtops that year. Only 6,121 were made during the short, 2-season model run and Chevy literature at the time suggested future collectability was certain . . . Although that frontend looks great with Kendal on it, the overall condition of the front nose is fantastic. The modified HID Projector headlamps and the clear side markers really look great too, and they are not cheap either. They set you back almost a grand if they weren't in there already. When you first look at this FRC, you'd think it looks quite stock. Then you see the slotted brakes rotors and the car sits about an inch lower than usual. Open the hood and again it looks quite stock...but when you put this FRC up on a lift, you see quite a different story. Full on high end coil over suspension, sway bars, one of the most beautiful cold air intake systems on the market and a few more high end items you'll see listed above. available dates/mileage 12-98 compliance label build date - Bowling Green, Kentucky 3-2-99 Michigan DMV - Ann Arbor 11 miles 4-15-99 Michigan DMV - Dearborn 10-2-99 service facility - Belmont, California - vehicle serviced 13,880 10-2-99 California emissions - Belmont 10-5-99 California DMV - Palo Alto 13,993 12-1-99 Service Plan Company - Palo Alto, California - service contract issued 14,400 1-20-00 California DMV - Palo Alto 1-22-00 California DMV - Palo Alto 5-4-02 Rally Chevrolet - Palmdale, California - LOF 35,256 5-28-02 California DMV - Palmdale 5-31-02 California emissions 35,910 6-10-02 California DMV - Palmdale 6-21-02 California DMV - Palmdale 9-11-03 California emissions 43,323 Washington DMV - Tacoma 45,000 1-29-05 Washington emissions - Puyallup 47,327 1-31-05 Washington DMV - Tacoma 9-23-05 Custom Auto Tint - Tacoma, Washington 1-4-06 Washington emissions - Puyallup 52,065 1-30-06 Washington DMV - Tacoma 5-9-06 Walt's Auto Care Center - Tacoma, Washington - exhaust welding 52,593 12-22-06 Washington DMV - Tacoma 2-13-08 Washington emissions/DMV - Puyallup 1-4-08 Discount Tire - Tacoma, Washington - new rear tires 57,327 12-4-08 Washington DMV - Tacoma 12-14-09 Discount Tires - Tacoma, Washington - new front tires 59,862 12-28-09 Washington emissions - Puyallup 5-4-10 Washington DMV - Tacoma 1-3-11 Washington DMV - Seattle 3-22-11 Discount Tires - Tacoma, Washington - replacement tire 66,124 12-27-11 Washington DMV - Tacoma 4-3-12 Washington emissions/DMV - Puyallup 8-1-12 Washington DMV - Tacoma 1-10-13 Washington DMV - Seattle 4-2-13 Discount Tire - Tacoma, Washington - new rear tires 81,369 9-3-13 State Farm Insurance - Las Vegas, Nevada 10-24-13 State Farm Insurance - Las Vegas, Nevada 4-8-14 Washington DMV - Las Vegas, Nevada 11-12-14 Carmax - Henderson, Nevada 85,598 12-24-14 current 85,631 Get inside the car and aside from it looking almost like brand new, it looks stock too...until you grab the shifter and realized you have a short throw shift kit and a heavy duty clutch plate. Now it's time to get excited. She looks stock but she's not and the modification are the same that you'd like to have if you owned the car, but you won't need to spend the big coin to get them. The only recommendation I would make for the car is this. New tires. I believe the previous owner removed aftermarket wheels and tires because these look original and the tires are older, not cracked and plenty of tread still but older tires. Could you drive anywhere on these? I am sure you could without any safety issue but if it were me, I like brand new tires. Why don't I have them on the car already? Because most of my buyers have their own favorite brand and they moght also upgrade to an aftermarket wheel too. The tires on the car are safe and have more than enough tread, they're just old. What can I say? The rear of this car looks as good as the front. There are those prjector HID headlamps. The coil overs, front and rear The cross over exhaust & air intake E2 Ceramic Coated Tunnel Brace Inside the car, you'd think it was just a couple years old. No tears or rips or signs of harsh wear anywhere you look. Simply beautiful inside and out The engine bay looks like new too and she performs as good as she looks. All services up to date and ready to make its new owner very happy. 5.7 Liter LS1 V8 Engine 345 horsepower @ 5,600/350 ft-lb torque @ 4,400 RPM (stock) Spotless underbelly with no damage or rust.

A note from the owner. I am a “used car dealer” but before that, I’m an automobile enthusiast. I love original rare and high quality modified vintage cars and over the past decade I’ve been in business, have come to appreciate an expanding selection of high-demand, high value vehicles. I specialize in and am always on the lookout for cars and trucks that were cherished by their previous owners. I have an experienced eye for quality but I’ve discovered that my preferred buyer can instantly discern such a vehicle and I have therefore, built my business and reputation around finding these kinds of cars for this type of customer. Super low miles and/or gentle ownership are strict requirements but a car must do something for me on a personal level if there is any hope of convincing you, the bidder, that this is an above average, exceptional vehicle. If nothing about the car excites me, it probably won’t do much for you either and I would soon be out of business. With just four employees and no sales people, I realize how unusual a “dealership” like mine may at first glance appear. It has taken great care and effort to create such an organization and often, an unusually high investment in a particular car we are about to list. To sell the best it is critical to have a trusted expert in my corner and Chris, owner of A-Best Auto Repair in Henderson, Nevada has my back. He and his crew can fix anything; from a low budget beater to the absolute most expensive exotic you can name, no job is too big and no small detail unimportant. They do an exhaustive 130 point inspection on each and every vehicle and nothing escapes their methodical investigation. Experience has shown that everything I spend making a car truly “right” will come back to me not only with a higher selling price, but a happy customer that says good things about me. Moreover; it allows my writer to describe the car with ease and confidence, something that simply is not possible unless he thinks it is true. If major issues are found or the cost of fixing the car the way it should be makes it too expensive to sell, my choice is an easy one. I simply absorb a few hundred dollars loss for my trouble and sell it at auction. After the vehicle is fully sorted it arrives at our facility where it encounters the suspicious eye of Tom, my writer that creates the presentations you see on eBay. He believes absolutely nothing I or anyone else tells him about the car as he combs over every inch, researches its history and documents originality and authenticity. Historical significance, rarity, special features, possible modifications and much more are used to accurately describe the vehicle with integrity and honesty. Most important for the potential buyer are the 100 to 150 high resolution pictures that I take myself. The pricey equipment I use would be right at home in the hands of the very best professional photographers and I’ve developed a logical format that walks you around the entire vehicle with close-up shots of every square inch. I provide detailed views of the interior, under the hood and then put it on a lift to show the undercarriage and confirm that the beauty of the car you are considering is not merely skin deep. Even our detailers are enthusiastic about the cars they so meticulously clean. This reconditioning can sometimes take several days and I’ve converted a paint booth, especially prepared for the professional clay bar and polishing each car lovingly receives. Usually, I’ll also include a high definition video that shows the car doing its thing. If it’s a fast car, we film it going fast. If it’s a 4x4 you’ll see it crawling up a hill. In every case you will hear things like a rumbling exhaust, working sound system and watch the temperature fall on a digital, laser thermometer pointed at an air conditioning vent. How many “dealers” will video a Lotus Esprit doing a buck-eighty? We do. No “dealer,” on-line or in the real world, takes it to this level. No other seller or organization provides you, the buyer, with so much information. I do this because it is the only way I can convince a person; often a world away, unable to touch or feel their purchase, that my vehicle is for real and what I say is the truth. All the above is necessary for me to stay in business while keeping integrity intact. I want every buyer to be happy and I need glowing feedback on eBay. To accomplish that I need satisfied customers that are as thrilled with their purchase as I was when I bought it. If you have any questions at all, please call me on my cell at: 702-353-7500. If your inquiry is sincere and your offer serious, you’ll find me the most accommodating business partner you’ve ever dealt with. If you call or e-mail asking for my reserve or “what is my bottom line” I will be looking for ways to politely end the conversation. Until you are ready to actually pull the trigger, I will happily quote you the absolute highest nationally advertised suggested retail price I can find – a number we both know will not buy the car so, don’t waste your time, or mine. I am after all, a “used car dealer.” Serious buyers know the maximum they can offer. I then must simply decide if I can sell for that number. If you hit the reserve, the decision is no longer mine. I must sell at that number. OFFERS GET MY ATTENTION: 702-353-7500 or Doug@vivalasvegasautos.com If you want to make a deal, pick up the phone and talk a serious offer. 702-353-7500 I don't respond to emails asking for "bottom line, sale price, reserve, or Buy-it-Now" figures on top line cars. THE ONLY WAY YOU GET THOSE FIGURES IS TO CALL ME! The book values posted below are relevant to "real" selling figures. NADA & KBB wouldn't be in business if their values were not real but their figures are averaged for the entire nation. If this car is less than or better than this average, bid or offer accordingly.
