2004 Chevrolet Corvette

GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this three-owner practically new 2004 Chevy Corvette Convertible! This immaculate vehicle comes in a Medium Spiral Gray Metallic paint job complemented by a spotless black leather interior. Powering this example is a brilliantly engineered 5.7-liter v8 motor mated to a crisp auto transmission. Making this Corvette sounds great is a Corsa exhaust system. As one would expect from a Corvette, this example comes with every feature a driving enthusiast could possibly ask for, including a power convertible top! The Corvette comes to us from the third owner who has always properly maintained the vehicle since day one. Showing this excellent history is a spotless Carfax also showing an exceptional service history. So, if you're in the market for a C5 Corvette, you can't go wrong with this Vet. Please call or email us today for more information.

A major change from its predecessor the C4, was a hydroformed box frame, a design that offered an improved structural platform, especially for a convertible bodystyle. To improve handling, the transmission was relocated to form an integrated, rear-mounted transaxle assembly. Connected to the all-new LS1 engine via a torque tube, the engine/transmission arrangement enabled a 50-50% front-rear weight distribution. The LS1 engine initially produced 345 hp (257 kW), subsequently increased in 2001 to 350 hp (261 kW). The 4L60-E automatic transmission carried over from previous models, but the manual was replaced by a Borg-Warner T-56 6-speed capable of a 175 mph (282 km/h) top speed. Relative to the C4, the new platform and structural design substantially reduced squeaks and rattles.⁶
In the inaugural model year (1997), only the fastback coupé (more like a hatchback coupé) was offered, with the convertible – the first to offer a trunk since 1962 – following later in August 1997 for MY 1998.⁷ In the summer of 1998, a third bodystyle, the hardtop (also referred to as the "fixed-roof coupé" or "FRC"), was added to the 1999 MY lineup.⁸ This bodystyle, as its name suggests, featured a fixed top (no removable targa top panel as with the fastback coupé) with a roofline shape and trunk space similar to that of the convertible, as well as a distinctive notchback-style rear window.
