A 2000 Chevrolet Corvette with just over 63,000 miles is presenting a well-preserved example of the fifth-generation sports car that helped define American performance at the turn of the millennium.
Finished in Torch Red over a black interior, the two-seat coupe reflects the clean, aerodynamic styling that characterized the C5 generation. Introduced for the 1997 model year, the C5 marked a significant evolution for the Corvette, bringing improved chassis rigidity, refined handling and a new generation of small-block V8 power.
At the heart of this 2000 model is Chevrolet’s 5.7-liter LS1 V8, factory rated at 345 horsepower. The all-aluminum engine became a cornerstone of General Motors performance vehicles, known for its balance of output and durability. In this example, the LS1 is paired with a four-speed automatic transmission and a center console-mounted floor shifter, delivering power to the rear wheels in classic Corvette fashion.
The car is equipped with four-wheel disc brakes and power steering, along with staggered 17- and 18-inch chrome five-spoke alloy wheels that complement the bright red exterior. A color-keyed removable roof panel offers open-air flexibility, while matching power remote mirrors and keyless entry add convenience.
Inside, the black seat interior is accented by embroidered floor mats and a tilt steering column. Factory amenities include air conditioning, power windows and an AM/FM/CD audio system. Owner’s books accompany the vehicle, and the history report indicates a clean record.
With mileage recorded at just over 63,500 miles, this Florida-based Corvette represents an attainable entry into modern classic performance. Combining V8 power, distinctive styling and everyday drivability, the 2000 Corvette continues to stand as a symbol of accessible American sports car engineering more than two decades after it left the factory.
