1999 Chevrolet Corvette Hatchback RWD

The C5 Corvette is one of the most important generations in the car's history, and it almost never happened. GM came within arm's length of canceling the program entirely before a group of engineers and executives inside the company fought to keep it alive. What they saved was a car that debuted to widespread praise, won Motor Trend Car of the Year and North American Car of the Year for 1998, and rewrote what people expected from an American sports car. This one is finished in black over black leather with a glass roof panel, and at 66,000 miles it is a lightly driven, well-kept example. Under the hood is the 5.7 liter LS1 V8 backed by a four-speed automatic. The LS1 was the first of GM's third generation small block LS engines, a platform that would go on to become one of the most celebrated performance engine families in history. It produces 345 horsepower and pulls hard from nearly any speed, and it sounds exactly the way a Corvette should. The C5 could hit 60 miles per hour in just over five seconds while still returning highway fuel economy that let it dodge the federal gas guzzler tax, which was essentially unheard of for a car with this level of performance. Inside, the black leather interior is clean and well equipped with power and memory seats, power windows, locks, and mirrors, and a Bose sound system with a Kenwood stereo upgrade. The glass roof lets light pour into the cabin and gives the car an open, airy feel without fully giving up the structure of a coupe. The C5 was also the last generation of Corvette to wear pop-up headlights, a feature that had been part of the car's identity for decades. When the C6 arrived in 2005 with fixed headlights, that era quietly ended. That makes the C5 a natural collector car, sitting at the crossroads of old school Corvette character and modern performance capability. Clean, fast, and wearing the right color for a car like this.
