Chevrolet Corvette Convertible 5.7 V8 Automatic – Finnish car – VET-1

An exceptionally fine and original Finnish Corvette, which has clearly been owned by an enthusiast throughout its life.

The car was first registered in Finland on 29.04.2002, and the very first owner immediately acquired a striking VET-1 special license plate for it. This is not an ordinary daily driver, but a carefully maintained hobby car.

The odometer reading is only 97,000 km, which is exceptionally low for a Corvette C5 that is over 24 years old. The authenticity of the mileage is supported by a consistent inspection history and a steadily progressing odometer reading throughout the car's history.

For the past almost 19 years, the car has only had two private owners. The previous owner kept the car for almost 10 years (2007–2017), after which the current owner has owned the car for almost 9 years (2017–2026).

Inspection history, limited use, and repeated decommissioning during winter seasons indicate that the car has primarily been used as a hobby car in the summers and stored appropriately.

The mileage has only increased by about 21,000 kilometers (75,878 km → 96,839 km) over the last 19 years, which indicates very moderate use. Based on its history, the car has been decommissioned during several winters, supporting the idea of it being a summer hobby car.

The car has been successfully inspected in 05/2026 (96,839 km) and is ready for summer drives.

The car has a modified chassis, which adds more rigidity and durability to the driving experience without compromising the car's original character. However, it is not a race car or a heavily used individual, but a well-maintained and moderately used hobby car.

At the heart of the technology is the legendary 5.7-liter LS1 V8, which produces 344 horsepower to the rear wheels via an automatic transmission. The Corvette still offers performance that many significantly newer sports cars have to respect.

The car has not been tampered with or tuned, but has been kept neatly and properly. The overall appearance is very neat and well-preserved for its age.

Of course, a car that is almost 24 years old will have some minor signs of use. There are individual small stone chips on the body, and the leather interior has normal wear and tear. However, there are no tears, broken upholstery, or anything else unusual.

The car has just been polished and thoroughly washed, so it is currently in truly stunning condition.

The tires are in good condition, the starter battery works flawlessly, and the technology functions as it should. The gearbox shifts smoothly, and the car feels good to drive all around.

The roof works normally and keeps water out.

The only detail worth mentioning is that the front mud flaps have some wear and one is partially broken. In addition, considering its age, individual hairline scratches may be found on the body when examined closely.

This is not a museum piece or a show car, but a very neat, well-maintained and honest Corvette. The car must be seen in person, as the overall condition is exceptionally good for its age.

Welcome to see the car in Tuusula.
