1997 Chevrolet Corvette C5 Convertible
A sleek and desirable example of Chevrolet’s fifth-generation Corvette, presented here as a left-hand-drive convertible finished in Black with an indicated 78,769 miles. The C5 marked a major leap forward for America’s most famous sports car, offering improved performance, refinement and everyday usability, all wrapped in a timeless low-slung design.
Powered by the 5.7-litre LS1 V8 paired with an automatic transmission, the C5 delivered strong acceleration, a lightweight chassis, and a driving experience that firmly modernised the Corvette nameplate. With seating for two, a folding soft-top roof and classic American V8 soundtrack, it remains an iconic open-air sports car of the 1990s.
Corvette C5 Model History
Launched in 1997, the C5 represented the most significant redesign in Corvette history since 1984. Built on an all-new hydroformed chassis with a rear-mounted transaxle for near-perfect weight distribution, it introduced the now-legendary LS1 V8 — lighter, more efficient and more powerful than its predecessors. The C5 was praised for its improved handling, structural rigidity and refinement, making it a true world-class sports car. The convertible returned to the lineup in 1998, celebrated for its stiffness and performance despite being a soft-top. Today, the C5 is recognised as the car that ushered Corvette into the modern era.
