This listing is for a Black 1999 2 Door Corvette Convertible C-5 Automatic 5.7L 4 Speed V8 350ci 345HP with 106,590 Miles.

The current owner's late husband who was an auto body worker who past away not long ago. His wife has decided to have me sell this car for her. No one has driven this car regularly since April of 2012 but the car has been regularly started and run and is still in great condition. 

This Corvette convertible is loaded! 
The previous owner removed all of the panels and professionally repainted this car back to black piece by piece in 2006. The body is in excellent condition. There is only one really notable scratch, behind the drivers side door handle, which is not a very big scratch. This car has been garage kept and still looks great. Compared to a factory black mustang with the same mileage I would say the body is in excellent overall condition, with a newer custom paint job(still the original factory color) with minor micro-scratches that when waxed are virtually unnoticeable.   

The specs on the engine and transmission are that this is a 350 Cubic Inch 5.7 Liter 4 Speed with 345 Horsepower and it can be very fast, very quick. This car can go zero to 50 in about 3-4 seconds.

The 1999 Corvette Convertible was the second and last year that the fifth generation Corvette was released with retractable headlights.

This car has aftermarket wheels and a Cat Back exhaust system. The gear ratio on the rear axle is 3:15. This Corvette has a Z-51 Suspension Package and has the Bose speaker system option with a factory radio/cd player.

The tires on this car were recently installed and in new condition. PLEASE NOTE: This car does not have a spare tire or emergency jack.

This two owner Corvette has never been in an accident and has been properly maintained with regular oil changes, tune-ups, tire rotations, lights, fluids, and normal vehicle maintenance upkeep.

I recently drove this Corvette so that I could help list this vehicle more accurately. The battery was dead when I got there, but we hooked a battery charger up to it and it started right up and a few hours later when I went to take pictures the car started right back up without any issues. 

This Corvette drives great! The suspension and front end are tight and well aligned. The engine has great compression and an abundance of Horsepower. When you drive it, the belt tension(tensioner) pulley chirps a little bit. This may be due to the age of the bearings in the pulley getting worn out, but the Pulley doesn't squeal or squeak... it is simply a chirp sound, like maybe it could used some lubricant. Regardless, it is a minor issue for a car or it's age and otherwise the car preforms greatly.

The engine and transmission have not had any repairs or damages and are perfectly functioning with plenty of torque, ample horsepower and smooth shifting.

The interior of the car is black with leather automatic power bucket seats. The drivers side seat has 3 small tears in the leather from the normal use in the lifetime of the drivers seat, but the seat is still comfortable and functional.

The door locks and windows are also automatic powered locks and windows....

The convertible's latches work smoothly for the soft top which works properly and drops or pops quickly with ease.  

Here are some specs on the some of the options of the car that I may have overlooked when typing this listing.

Bose Speaker option
CD player
Leather Seats
Power seats
Power Windows.
Cruise Control.
Power Locks.
Airbags on both drivers and passengers sides.
Anti-lock breaks.
Aftermarket wheels
Brand new tires.

CNG-powered Chevy Sonic, Cruze headed your way

Fri, Nov 7 2014

The value proposition for a Crazy Diamond Performance CNG ride was a little bit better before gas prices took a dive in the past month. Still, the Michigan-based company, which converts some of Chevrolet's compact vehicles to run on compressed natural gas, received approval late last month from the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for two of its conversion models. And CNG is still pretty cheap. Crazy Diamond will start selling CNG versions of both the Chevrolet Cruze and Chevrolet Sonic. The startup will target fleet operators looking to cut both refueling costs and their carbon footprint. CNG can be found in much of the country in the low $2 range, while the average CO2 emissions are about 25 percent less than those of similar gas-powered vehicles. Average gas prices have tumbled by more than 30 cents a gallon in the last month, according to AAA, but they're still at close to $3. The two models will be able to go almost 300 miles on a full tank of CNG. Crazy Diamond said this summer that it would start selling converted a CNG-powered Cruze that delivers 130 horsepower for as low as $26,000. The turbocharged version goes for about $28,000. Take a look at Crazy Diamond Performance's celebratory press release below. Crazy Diamond Performance recieves EPA approval on its CNG Cruze and Sonic CDP receives EPA approval for its Mono-Fuel CNG Cruze and Sonic. Shelby Township, Michigan, October 30, 2014– Crazy Diamond Performance (CDP) receives EPA approval on its Mono-Fuel Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) Chevrolet Cruze and Chevrolet Sonic. Crazy Diamond Performance has received EPA approval on two new mono-fuel small passenger vehicles, the CNG Chevrolet Cruze and CNG Chevrolet Sonic. These new mono-fuel CNG platforms are the first of a series of small and fuel efficient vehicles coming from CDP, where cost, low emissions and reduced fuel consumption is important for not only fleet owners, but to the general public as well. "Soon to be available, are the 1.8L and 1.4L Cruze and Sonic CNG retrofit systems. These two vehicles represent a change in the status quo, with an OEM level integration of the fuel system and its components" states Michelle Fern, Executive Vice President CDP Inc. These vehicles provide flexibility for fleets looking to purchase a domestic small mono-fuel passenger sedan, but have not had an option until now. There are significant emissions benefits over its gasoline counterpart, with an average reduction in Carbon Dioxide (CO2) of 25%.

Bob Lutz says Tesla remains 'fringe' brand

Sun, Sep 28 2014

We've said it before, we'll said it again: Bob Lutz gives great quotes. From his toilet-themed opinion of global warming to Toyota's deity status, the man knows how to get your attention. His latest? Saying that Tesla Motors is and will remain a fringe brand. Take that, Tesla fanbois. This, of course, is the same fringe company that prompted Lutz and his former colleagues at General Motors to start working on the Chevy Volt around eight years ago. The same fringe company that has easily outsold the similarly priced (but don't call it a competitor) Cadillac ELR with its Model S. Lutz did clarify that the fringe status will only last until Tesla comes out with a mass-market electric vehicle that has a range of 200 to 300 miles. Lutz was on CNBC talking about the TSLA stock's recent performance, and he pointed out that even Tesla CEO Elon Musk says that the California automaker's stock is overvalued these days. Despite its prevalence around these parts, Tesla is not yet a household brand. But the company is working hard to get a cheaper, long-range EV to market in the not-too-distant future, so this fringe thing may not last much longer than that show Fringe did.

Suzuki recalls 2 million cars globally

Wed, Apr 22 2015

Suzuki is recalling two million vehicles across the globe, including a number of Chevrolet Cruze sedans that it builds for General Motors, because the ignition switches may begin to smoke. None of the Cruzes being recalled were sold in the US, though. This recall is limited to the Japanese, European and Australian markets. In Suzuki's home market, 1,873,000 vehicles are being recalled, including the Cruze and a number kei cars built for Mazda (the Carol and AZ-Wagon), as well as the automaker's own Alto, Wagon R and Swift. Affected vehicles were built between 1998 and 2009. The remaining 133,000 vehicles include Cruzes and other Suzuki products sold in Europe and Australia. There have been no reports of injuries or accidents due to the 67 reported incidents, all of which come from the Japanese market, a Suzuki spokesperson told Automotive News. Related Video:
