1999 C5 Frc (fixed Roof Coupe) Black On Black, 34k Miles, Perfect Condition on 2040-cars

 You are looking at a first year hard top Corvette.  It is a rare FRC model (Fixed Roof Coupe).  The FRC was first offered in 1999 and just over 4000 units were built.  They were only offered in Black, Red, or White, and only with a 6 speed stick and black interior.  Only 1227 black models were made.  The FRC became the chassis for the ZO6 in 2001.  I purchased this in 1999 and have been the only owner and driver.  I have maintained it as an original factory car.  It had Wet Okole seat covers on both seats until last year, so leather is brand new.  Carpets and floor mats are perfect.  No flaws or damages at all in the interior.  It is clean throughout.  Outside paint is as perfect as it can be.  There are a couple of small nicks, one from a stone on the nose under the license plate, and one from the handle of the garage door on the rear panel just above the license plate.  Both are touched up and hard to notice.  Paint has been cared for with 3M products for swirl removal and buffing, Finish First for polishing.  Wheels are the  original alloy but have been chrome dipped for a beautiful finish.  Tires are Toyo Proxes T1R with 2000 easy miles on them.  Brakes are upgraded to ceramic pads.  System flushed every two years.  Oil has always been Mobil 1, changed spring and fall.  Only changes to stock is the air intake to a K&N cold air box (I have all of the original parts boxed) and a Cat Back Stainless Steel 4" Billy Boat exhaust that gives the car a mellow purr on normal driving, but with a raspy bark on acceleration, very nice.  All windows are tinted black and  both license plates are behind tinted Plexiglas covers.  Car looks like a shiny black panther ready to leap.  Drives great with very tame clutch.  Acceleration is impressive and handling is extremely stable at any speed.  In fact, the faster it goes, the better it handles.  Has traction control and can be turned off with a push button on the console.  The car can get 31-32 mpg on the highway in 6th gear.  Around town with normal driving gets 19-22 mpg. Not bad for a performance car.  Gotta love the 6 speed stick.   This car could become more valuable as the first ever Corvette FRC.  I've maintained it with that in mind.  It is also a great driver, so you choose.  This car has never had to deal with bad weather.  Only in rain a couple of times, never in snow or wind.  Always kept in a climate controlled garage with my other babies.  Always washed with soft water.  Sale includes a 3 volume factory shop manual (never used), fitted car cover, mats, jack pucks.  Time to move on and make room for something else.  I'll be sad to see him go.  Still excites me every time I get behind the wheel.  Buy this car with confidence that you are getting a show room condition Corvette that turns heads everywhere.  Contact me with any questions or requests.  I'm also happy to make the car available for inspections.  BTW; In 2005 it won best in class at the famous Vettes in the Rockies in Breckenridge, Colorado.  It looks exactly the same today.  Cheers.....Les  (Did I mention only 1227 were made???)
