Backstory from the owner.

You are looking for the finest. best maintained Corvette FRC you can find.   You are here because the excellence found in your neck of the woods. by any measure. is a joke.   I know exactly how you feel.   I attend specialty and dealer-only auctions every week searching for the best of the best in what I call "niche autos. "  I scan lists of over 3. 00 vehicles locally each week and select cars I've come to know are hard to find and that fit my business model of marketing exclusively on eBay.   C5 Corvettes make it onto my own list every time they show up but just a tiny fraction actually turn out to be worthy my money.   During the past 13 years I've seen 100 or more Corvettes every single year and what that means for you is; I have looked at. touched. smelled and walked away from a lot of Corvettes.   I am extremely picky about what to buy and this FRC is one of a precious handful nice enough to justify buying.   Past ownership. service history and condition. condition. condition are what matters.   High performance vehicles are not always treated well. but a precious few are taken care of and given proper respect.   Beautiful paint. spectacular interior. service history and an absolute knock-out to see in person - as good as my pictures are. they can't possibly convey the awesome visual impact this car has in real life.   What else could you want?  A great deal?  I have that covered too but you will not be purchasing this fine automobile for wholesale or even low book value.   You already know you get what you pay for and if you want true excellence. service quality and exceptional condition. this Corvette FRC represents an extremely rare opportunity.   Read what we have to say. examine every picture in detail. see the amazing quality up close and personal and then make your call and give me an offer.   I promise. you will not be disappointed.

We Want Your Business

Please call and we can discuss your serious and intelligent offer.

Be confident your intent to buy will be met by me. the owner. courteously.

Thanks. /p>

Before you send me an email asking me for my "best price. bottom-line or asking price" let me just make a suggestion based on 36 years of buying and selling experiences. Deals are made through conversations. not texting. not emailing or conversations without even knowing who or what you are talking to. they happen through personal contact. I want my my clients to know who they are trying to make a deal with. I want to know their real intent to buy also. This equation does not exist with "What's your best price?" and no personal contact. I have gone to great lengths to find this incredible vehicle. make sure it's the best it can be for you and present it in a way that no other seller does online. I do that so we can talk. make a clear deal. fair for both sides and watch a happy buyer enjoy their new ride. If you just don't have the gumption to make contact and you just want an idea of price. look at what the market values posted above say. they are fairly accurate on AVERAGE vehicles across the US. If you think this vehicle is average. above or below. bid accordingly or. . . pick up the phone and have a pleasant conversation with a real enthusiast that can make your deal on the spot. Keeping it real.    

Let's make a deal. Call me

This 2000 Chevrolet Corvette hardtop has just 10. 09 miles and is certainly the best looking fixed-roof-coupe available for sale today.   The body is perfect. the paint is spectacular and the interior is knock-out and fully like new still.   One owner could barely average 650 miles a year since new and this Corvette's stunning condition accurately reflects that of a car that has. in fact. averaged 2 miles a day.   And. this rare rocket performs like brand new not to mention it's condition top to bottom.

 

 

The use of the word rare is no exaggeration; 33. 82 Corvettes rolled off the Bowling Green assembly line for model year 2000 yet only 2. 90 were fixed roof coupes.   Called an "FRC" by the Corvette crowd. these low production beauties were originally intended to be entry level models but most (like this car) were well equipped with prices often within a few hundred dollars of the more plentiful hatchback.   Finding a FRC coupe in this condition 17 model years later with miles this low. a "needle in the haystack" doesn't express the rarity or difficulty in finding one like this.

 

 

A great shot to see some smooth fiberglass and fenders filled to the edge with lots of good rubber.   The Z06 body style of this FRC is the defining attraction for these Corvettes not to mention their rarity.

 

 

In every shot. it's hard to not admire the ultra low silhouette.   Here we can see the Z06 body style.   We can also see the perfection of this car. I don't claim perfection too often but this car is absolutely stunning and looks. feels and performs like new still. I first encountered the original about two years ago after chasing him down a local street. honking at him to pull over so I could ask if I could offer to buy his car. He declined but told me he was looking at trading it in within a couple years. I asked him to call me before he traded it off. and never heard back from him. But. here it is. I bought it from the dealer who he traded it to. Yeah. This car was a must have and I waited for it.

 

 

The body is superb from every angle and the closer you get. the better it looks.   This is a top quality Corvette that needs no apologies.

 

 

Stock Exhaust. Stock everything. That's rare to find too.

 

 

The tires have lots of life left and this Corvette came with the optional 5-spoke alloy wheels.

 

 

 

The interior looks and feels like new. the driver's seat is firm like new still. The is hardly any sign of wear anywhere in the car.

 

 

 

Power driver's seat. tilt and a Bose CD/sound system make things comfy and everything is tight and precise.

 

 

Upholstery. carpet. headliner. door panels; all are in great condition.

A note from the owner.

I am a “used car dealer” but before that. I'm an automobile enthusiast.   I love original rare and high quality modified vintage cars and over the past decade I've been in business. have come to appreciate an expanding selection of high-demand. high value vehicles.   I specialize in and am always on the lookout for cars and trucks that were cherished by their previous owners.   I have an experienced eye for quality but I've discovered that my preferred buyer 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 bidder. 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 at first glance appear.   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 and Chris. owner of A-Best Auto Repair in Henderson. Nevada has my back.   He and his crew can fix anything; from a low budget beater to the absolute most expensive exotic you can name. no job is too big and no small detail unimportant.   They do an exhaustive 130 point inspection on each and every vehicle and nothing escapes their 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 me.   Moreover; it allows my writer to describe the car with ease and confidence. something that simply is not possible unless he thinks 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.

After the vehicle is fully sorted it arrives at our facility where it encounters the suspicious eye of Tom. my writer that creates the presentations you see on eBay.   He believes absolutely nothing I or anyone else tells him about the car as he combs over every inch. researches its history and documents 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 150 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 so meticulously clean.   This reconditioning can sometimes take several days and I've converted a paint booth. especially prepared for the professional clay bar and polishing each car lovingly receives.

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 the temperature fall on a digital. laser thermometer pointed at an air conditioning vent.   How many “dealers” will video a Lotus Esprit doing a buck-eighty?  We do.

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 the truth.   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 pull the trigger. I will happily quote you the absolute highest nationally advertised suggested retail price I can find – 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. ”

Serious buyers know the maximum they can offer.   I then must simply decide if I can sell for that number.

If you hit the reserve. the decision is no longer mine.   I must sell at that number.
