1998 Chevy Corvette Convertible For Sale in Illinois

Gateway Classic Cars is proud to digitally present this 1998 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible. The 5th generation of corvette began in 1997 with a new redesign which included a more ridged frame that allowed for better handling with a 50-50 weight distribution. Transmission was also upgraded and moved to allow for a rear mounted trans-axil assembly. In 1998 the C5 convertible was introduced and with the upgrades and changes allowed for a better driving experience for the convertible variant with less body twisting. The C5 corvette convertible also allowed for a actual trunk area with the convertible top which is something that has not been seen since the 1962 model year. This 1998 corvette is in a very nice gray paint from the beautiful wedge corvette front end to the high shoulder and wide rear. The C5 has a very distinctive aggressive side body lines reminiscent of the older mako shark styling of the 1960's. The pop-up headlights and circle taillights with the quad upgraded Borla chrome exhaust tips round out the corvette look. The engine is the standard fuel injected 5.7 litter V8 mated to a 6-speed manual transmission which is a great compromise of fuel economy and the fun of standard transmission. The interior has a nice black and silver color scheme that really works with the exterior. Interior features include nice black leather bucket seats with seat belts, a black matching dash with white lettering gauges and switches. Center console features the AC Delco theft lock factory AM/FM/CD radio and dual climate controls. Rounding out the rear of the cockpit style interior is the storage compartment that is divided by the color matching center support with a predominant large checker flag/Chevrolet flag emblem. This is a great C5 Corvette so don't miss out.
