1997 Chevrolet Corvette

1997 C5 Corvette “Unique Flames Paint Job”

Great example of a first year C5

Previous California owner customized this as a Z06 Show Car. showed the car in several regional shows and won many Awards.

At a prestigious CA show. where the car won Best of Show. the Judge 'Chief Corvette Engineer Dave Hill' personally wrote under the hood and owners manual “Best Vette Yet”.

One of the most unique things about this car is the 'Chameleon Ghost Flames' on the hood and running down the left and right sides.

When I stop to get gas or pull into a parking lot people people stop and tell me how beautiful the car looks and they rave about the Flame paint job. They can't believe the car is a 97'.

Most of the cars mileage was accumulated during out of town trips. We go to the Coasts on a regular basis(East. est and Gulf Coasts). It's a Awesome road car. very comfortable and gets over 30MPG on the Interstate.

Condition - Car looks and drives great and has little nicks and imperfections that usually accompanies a car with 142K miles.

I spend a lot of time constantly cleaning and adjusting to ensure the car runs and looks great.

Some of the New parts recently installed - Windshield. Water Pump. Radiator. Expansion Tank. Oil Pump. AC System. car cover … Tires don't have many miles on them and I replaced the 'Tire Pressure Sensors' during my last tire change.

The CarFax report shows a couple of accidents but don't let this turn you off. These were very minor events that occurred at slow speeds (i. e. . parking lots. etc …) and the minimal repairs were completed by an out of town High-End Custom Paint/Body shop. They work on Lambo's. Bently's. etc …
