The seller offers for sale this 1999 Corvette C5 Convertible, powered by a 5.7-litre V8 petrol engine paired with an automatic transmission. This example was imported from the USA and has spent the past two years in the Netherlands as part of a private collection. The paintwork retains a nice shine, and the body shows only light wear. The interior presents in good condition, with just one mark on the driver’s seat noted. The engine starts easily, runs smoothly and shows no signs of blue or white smoke. The gearbox shifts without problems and produces no unusual noises. The car has not been driven for the past two years and currently lacks a valid inspection due to a non-working handbrake. No visible rust or accident damage is reported.
The fifth-generation Corvette marked a significant step forward in performance, refinement and drivability. With its lightweight construction, powerful LS-series V8 and modern suspension design, the C5 brought the Corvette into a new era of capability while maintaining the classic American sports-car spirit. The convertible version adds open-top enjoyment and a relaxed driving character, appealing to both enthusiasts and collectors. Known for reliability, accessible performance and engaging road manners, the C5 continues to be appreciated as a strong value in the sports-car market. Its timeless styling and responsive V8 soundtrack make it a rewarding classic for weekend drives and summer cruising.
