JUST IN TIME FOR SPRING!!!! NEWLY INSPECTED!!!

I am selling my 1997 C5 Corvette. The ONLY reason why I'm selling the car is because I've become chronically sick and I'm no longer able to work or enjoy the car.   The car is 1 of only 2. 64 made in Sebring Silver Metallic and is in great condition for its age. Exterior 9/10 & Interior 9/10.

The car has just been inspected and has routine maintenance including new spark plugs. spark plug wires. gaskets. steering wheel lockout bypass. torque tube service. front tires (only 10. 00 miles). new master cylinder. slave cylinder. and much more.

Issues & history of the car:
The check engine light is intermittently on and the code reads O2 sensor errors. This has been since the EGR delete but has had no noticeable effect on performance or operating. When the car was at Diablo formula racing. all the AFRs and O2 readings were normal during both idle & highway pulls. The nitrous system is hooked up for a 75 shot but has never been activated or used. The stand alone purge system has been used at car shows and the NO2 bottle has been filled twice for that reason (it is currently 90% full). I have nozzles all the way up to 175 that will be provided with the vehicle.

In addition. the car was involved in 2 incidents since I owned the car. The first was last summer I was heading to a 4th of july party when I storm came out of no where. I clipped a tree branch that was down on the road around a blind spot in a turn and the combination of the wind & jolt knocked the old targa roof off. Several weeks later I was heading down to Ocean city Maryland and a raccoon ran out in front of me and I hit him. thus cracking my front bumper and turn signal. While pulled over at the side of the road waiting for the highway patrol. a motorist threw a beer bottle out of the window and ricocheted off of the trunk lid. All damage was strictly cosmetic and the car has a new front bumper. turn signal. air dam. and targa roof. The repair & paint was done by Cockrell's Vintage Auto Body. The title is still a clean title.

Lastly. I had a Spec Stage 2 Clutch. pressure plate. and flywheel installed on the vehicle but did not like the way it was shifting because I was still using the factory master cylinder. So. I put the factory clutch/flywheel/plate back in after having it machined. The Spec stage 2 system is still available for sale if interested and only has a couple thousand miles on it.   If you'd like to get the car inspected by a shop of your choice. I will happily make the arrangement at your expense. Contact me with any questions. In addition to the Spec Stage 2 clutch system. I also have C5 Z06 rotors with only 20k miles on them for sale. You can have the Spec Cluth/flywheel/pressure plate & z06 rotors for an additional $500.

My number is 717-385-three one nine four.   Serious inquires only.   It is NOT ok for 3rd party sales companies to contact me about selling my vehicle.
