- coupe 27,125 gasoline black manual
This 2000 Chevrolet Corvette fixed-roof coupe, or FRC, represents the first, last, and only time the Corvette has been offered in three distinct body styles. The FRC was intended to be lighter, faster, and cheaper than the rest of the Corvette lineup, and it facilitated the arrival of the Z06, which was indeed faster and lighter than its siblings. Great performance, low mileage, and a reasonable price make this FRC a winner. The FRC wasn't a big seller so finding one like this is a relatively rare occasion. In its second year, 2000, the fixed-roof coupe was only offered in three different colors: black, white, and red, although a few yellow ones seem to have snuck out the door as well. This black one looks purposeful and lean, and most folks will do a double-take when they see it hammering down the road, as most have never seen the FRC body style up close. Otherwise, it's in fantastic condition and shows off the excellent build quality for which the C5 was justifiably famous. There are no modifications, no add-ons, just clean OEM styling and hardware that makes this a car that should appeal to the serious Corvette fan. It was all part of the goal to build a stripped-down street fighter, and we have to say we like the concept. This interior remains in very good shape with only very light comfort marks on the driver's seat, all well in line with its age and mileage. The carpets are unmarked thanks to a set of fitted floor mats and the door panels are like new. Standard equipment included A/C, power windows and locks, cruise control, and a power driver's seat, and that's pretty much how this one is outfitted. There's an optional Bose AM/FM/CD stereo system that sounds quite good, and the shifter has been upgraded to a Hurst short-throw. The FRC also received a real trunk that's big enough for luggage and gear for a long road trip. The FRC is still a C5, so that means a silky-smooth and torquey LS1 V8. The all-aluminum 5.7 liter engine was a real revolution when it hit the streets, and while we take it for granted to day, cars like this FRC were quite formidable.
