1999 Chevrolet Corvette silver in color with black leather interior. Paint is original and is great condition as is the interior. Bose sound system, 4 speakers with cd which is in great sounding conditon. Dual powered digital climate control which works fantastic. Dual powered seats, dual air bag. Needle and digital display gauges. One of my favorite features was the digital display of the air pressure in all four tires. Also digital display of oil remaining life and lap time. 4 speed Automatic transmission hooked up to the original 5.7 Liter 363ci with 345hp. Engine and transmission runs and operates fantastic. Everything about this car is orignal. Removable hard top. Rear hatch works fantastic. Everything electronically works great. Keyless entry with alarm system. Orignal owners manual. Tires are still in great condition with great tread left. The vehicle operates and drives great. Vehicle never has given me any problems. I am the second owner of the vehicle. I bought the vehicle a three months ago from Jeff Gordon Chevrolet out of Wilmington NC which they advised the previous owners had the vehicle garaged kept. I am selling this vehicle because I am in need to replace it with a more suitable family means of transportation since my wife had told me that I am going to be a father. So with that in mind I need to sell. I am starting of this bid at 14,900 because I am in great need to sell this. I bought the vehicle three months ago for $17,500 not including a vehicle trade in. So I will be already losing money at this price I am starting at. If you are looking for a 1999 Chevrolet Corvette with low mileage for its year then you have found one. More than forty years after the 1953 Corvette debuted Chevrolet introduced the fifth-generation Corvette for 1997. The C5 almost didn't happen. Originally scheduled for release in 1993, the Corvette was killed for a short time before performance zealots within General Motors resuscitated the project and made the new car a reality. With the addition of a hardtop model to the lineup, three different Corvettes are available for 1999. Pushrod power, in the form of a reworked, 5.7-liter V8 engine dubbed the LS1, motivates the Corvette. Horsepower is rated 345 at 5,600 rpm, while torque measures 350 lbs.-ft. at 4,400 rpm. The result? Equipped with the standard four-speed automatic transmission, the Corvette will hit 60 mph in a shade over five seconds. Opt for the six-speed manual transmission and you'll cut less than half a second off the trap time. To help reign in the power on slippery surfaces, acceleration slip regulation (a.k.a., traction control) is standard equipment. EPA mileage figures are phenomenal for a high-powered sports car; the Corvette will return 28 mpg on the highway with the manual tranny. Four-wheel-disc antilock brakes keep stopping distances short with larger rotors than previous Corvettes. Front tires are 17 inches in diameter, and rears are a whopping 18 inches across, which contributes to an excellent .93g of road grip. The rubber stays planted well too, thanks to a fully independent, four-wheel short/long-arm height-adjustable suspension. Optional on coupe and convertible is an Active Handling system, which keeps the Corvette in line even if the driver isn't. Body panels are still composed of a material other than metal, though no longer fiberglass. Sheet molded compound wraps around an ultra-stiff structure that features a full-length perimeter frame with tubular steel side rails. The windshield frame is aluminum, and the instrument panel is attached directly to a beefy cross member designed to reduce noise and vibration. A sandwich composite floor with a lightweight balsa wood core damps noise and vibration while making the floor exceptionally stiff. Inside, a dashboard with analog gauges and intuitive radio and climate controls greets passengers. Luggage space beneath the coupe's rear hatch glass is an incredible 25 cubic feet, made possible with the use of dual mid-ship mounted fuel tanks that are snuggled within the Corvette's structure. Even the hardtop and convertible can tote more cargo than any Corvette in history. Inside, the car feels more airy, thanks to a narrower door sill and taller height combined with a low cowl. 5,665 cc 5.7 liters 8 V front longitudinal engine with 99 mm bore, 92 mm stroke, 10.1 compression ratio, light alloy block, light alloy head, overhead valve and two valves per cylinder - Premium unleaded fuel - Fuel economy EPA highway (l/100km): 8.4 - Multi-point injection fuel system - 72 liter fuel tank - Power: 257 kW , 345 HP @ 5,600 rpm; 350 ft lb , 475 Nm @ 4,400 rpm
