Presents... 2003 Chevrolet Corvette 50th Anniversary Edition Coupe Viva Las Vegas Autos Presents . . . A pristine 2003 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe 50th Anniversary Edition with removable hardtop and all the great options. First of all, these highly collectible modern classic American sports cars are getting harder and harder to find in show quality condition like this one is. Most now are high mileage "used cars", a rare few are what I would consider "Collector Quality" show cars. This Corvette 50th Anniversary Coupe is absolutely show quality for sure even with the higher miles. The best part about this particular 50th Anniversary Corvette, it won't break the bank to own it. I see several of these 50th Anniversary Corvettes almost every few months it seems and only a few spark my interest. Optimal condition, both mechanically and cosmetically are huge requirements for me when it comes to me investing in one of them for my business. This one met that value and I had to own it. ​​​​​​​ Viva Las Vegas Autos Known History . . . Every week I attend dealer auctions and specialty auctions for dealers where I hunt down some of the finest automobiles in the country. Some are old classic cars, some are low mileage cream puffs and some are rarely seen a limited production automobile like this C5 50th Anniversary Coupe is. But this car wasn't from one of those auctions. There is a funny story behind this car. I was at a dealership getting some parts for one of my other cars. As I walked in, I saw this Corvette just outside the entry door and glanced because I was impressed with how nice it was both in and out. I went inside to get my parts and upon exiting the same front door, I noticed the owner was chatting with the dealership's used car buyer as he apparently was trying to sell this car. My guess as I walked past and overheard the conversation for a split second, the buy figure they offered him was insulting and he took his keys and got into his Corvette. Funny enough, I was driving one of my other Corvettes that day, a Z06. So I got in my car and followed him down the street as he left the dealership. I got to an intersection, pulled up alongside him and honked my horn and rolled down my passenger window as he also rolled down his. "Hey, I said, are you trying to sell that Corvette. I am a Corvette buyer." He replied "Yes!" and I told him to pull over in the next parking lot around the corner. He did and we had a nice conversation. They did offer him insulting money for this sweet ride and I told him I would seriously offer him a fair offer if he was ready to make the deal. At that moment, I think he was a little bent from the prior dealer and he kindly asked me for a card and told me he would be in touch. Sure enough, two weeks later, he called me and accepted my offer. So here it is. My seller, had bought the car from the original owner, he had it for about 8 years and took exceptional care of it as did the original owner too. I have seen many 2003 Corvettes with half these miles and been in far worse condition but this car is genuinely as nice as any of the ridiculously low miles 50th Anniversary’s I have had in the past. All services are up to date. Even though the front tires had plenty of tread, they were old and needed replacement to match the rears. So I spent the money to get matching front Goodyear F1s factory OE tires. The brakes were great as you will see in the pictures. The car needs nothing and will impress any highly serious buyer looking for extreme quality at a fair winning price. Viva Las Vegas Autos Preparations and Conditional Assessment. . . Every time I buy any automobile, modern or not, the first thing I do is run it through a vigorous inspection. I want to make sure that all my cars are in tip top condition mechanically and cosmetically. From top to bottom, I am going to go over every inch to look for issues that may present themselves and repair, replace or service those items I find in needful condition so my buyers won't have to when they receive their sweet rides. As we all know, cars don't always speak to us and they don't always tell us what’s wrong, but there is also a common history to most cars. Knowing the background conditional issues on a car line also helps us to avoid future issues as much as possible too. In the case of the C5 generation Corvettes, this car was so well cared for that nothing other than the two front tires were needed to make this car 100%. We took care of tires for you so you can simply just enjoy this Corvette from day one. ​​​​​​​ As for everything else on this car, it's just plain outstanding in condition and function. Drives flawlessly, air blows I cold, the brakes are like new and so are the tires. The car is also beautifully detailed in and out as well. It comes with a Corvette Museum Windshield Sun Shade that my seller made sure I knew it cost him $50 bucks. I got a kick out of that and it comes with all the books, manuals and even a 50th Anniversary ball cap that matches the car. Viva Las Vegas Autos Verified Data . . .

I am a “used car dealer” but before that, I’m an automobile enthusiast. I love original, rare and high quality modified vintage and modern cars. Over the past 15 years I’ve been in business, I have come to appreciate an expanding selection of high-demand, high value vehicles as well. I specialize in and I am always on the lookout for cars and trucks that were cherished by their previous owners. I have an experienced eye for quality and I’ve discovered that my preferred buyers 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 buyer, 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 be at a first glance. 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. First we do an exhaustive 130 point inspection on each and every vehicle and hope nothing escapes our 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 Viva Las Vegas Autos. Moreover; it allows us to describe the car with ease and confidence, something that simply is not possible unless we think 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 so you don’t get a headache over the vehicle. After the vehicle is fully checked over and made whole at any level it needs to be, we researches its history, documents documenting 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 200 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 meticulously clean. Reconditioning can sometimes take several as we do all that we can within reason to get our vehicles in tip top condition visually and cosmetically. Way more than just a cheap detail….Our details are more like refurbishing to as close to new as we can possibly get our vehicles 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 gauges operational as well. 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 an honest assessment. 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 make an offer, I will happily quote you a liberal suggested retail price – 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.”​​​​​​​ Viva Las Vegas Autos Terms of Sales . . . This vehicle is safely stored in our beautiful climate controlled showroom in Boulder City, Nevada.
