A 2000 model year Chevrolet Corvette coupe with a hardtop, showing 37,000 miles, is listed at auction. It is one of 2,090 such cars produced that year. The current owner bought the car in 2025 and later replaced the clutch master and slave cylinders and serviced the braking system. The hardtop model was offered separately only in 1999 and 2000, so these coupes form a distinct and small group among the C5 Corvettes.
Under the hood is a 5.7-liter LS1 V8 which, according to factory data, produces 345 horsepower and 350 lb-ft of torque. The engine is fitted with MSD ignition wires. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual gearbox and a limited-slip differential. The car is equipped with a CD radio, a Bose sound system, dual-zone automatic climate control, power windows and cruise control.
The body is painted in Torch Red, and the interior is trimmed in black leather. Exterior features include pop-up headlights, fog lights, side moldings, the signature Corvette license plate surround and four exhaust outlets. Paint defects are visible in the gallery photos. The 18-inch wheels are taken from the Z06, fitted with 315/30 Toyo Proxes R888R tires. The suspension has been upgraded with adjustable BC Racing coilovers, and each wheel has ventilated, drilled and slotted discs. A traction control system is also fitted.
The cabin features sport bucket seats from the Z06, trimmed in black leather, with a power-adjustable driver's seat. The leather-wrapped steering wheel sits in front of a speedometer reading up to 200 mph and a tachometer with a red zone starting at 6,000 rpm, as well as gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, voltage and fuel level. The digital odometer shows 37,000 miles, of which about 2,600 were accumulated under the current owner. The ABS indicator blinks intermittently, which a buyer should take into account.
According to the seller, the car comes with an owner's manual, a service book and a clean Florida title in the seller's name. The Carfax report shows no accidents or other damage, but it does include at least one open open recall service request. The seller did not specify which work was carried out during his ownership beyond replacing the clutch cylinders and servicing the brakes, so the details should be verified independently. For collectors and enthusiasts of American sports cars, original C5 models with a manual transmission and low mileage remain interesting objects, and the hardtop version stands out among ordinary convertibles.
