2000 Convertible 6-Spd For Sale

Hello I have a 00 silver (blk top blk interior) 6spd. convert available. I ve owned the car for 9 yrs. and it is an excellent C-5. This car is not an A title car but before you blow it off you should read what follows and give it some thought. The car is a recovered theft .stolen in NY when it had less than 8k miles. It was damaged and although there was no structural damage the insurance company decided to total it rather than rebuild the car. It went through three auctions and finally ended up in Tampa where it was rebuilt and fully restored by the Corvette Shop in Tampa. The car was sold to the person I bought it from in 02. He put 24k miles on it and I purchased it from him in 05 with 32k miles on it. I have owned 18 Vettes since I was 18 and have rebuilt 9 during that time .3 from bare frames so I have a considerable amount of experience evaluating these cars. I looked this car over extensively and there is zero evidence of any damage. I have run it up to 140 and it is rock solid and arrow straight. The car was stone stock when I bought it and remained that way for 7 years however I got the bug to do one more car so I decided to modify this one since I knew it well and it was mechanically very sound. I wanted to end up close to 400 rwhp so I started in November of 11 and rolled it out of my garage in Feb. ( 12). The following was completed in that time Cam and Valve Spring swap ..Comp Cams 54-426-11 (.566 .568 lift .222 224 duration) and spring kit 26918-16 LS-6 Intake Manifold Hi Volume Ported Oil Pump New double roller chain sprockets New Water Pump Hoses Belts Wire set Oil Cooler New Calibrated Balanced Z-06 Injectors Long Tube Stainless Headers H Pipe and Z-06 Titanium mufflers The car was tuned by an excellent tuner located in Seffner FL ( AntiVenom) and it included 4 dyno pulls. The results of the last two runs showed 387hp at the rear wheels. Since that time I added a Vararam Cold Air Intake system new 32lb Bosch injectors and a ported 95mm throttle body. The car was retuned but the dyno was down for some work and the car has not been on the rolls since that time. The car is a blast to drive and most importantly it is very drivable with great sounds that are not overpowering .no ill manners no over-heating issues no concerns about making it home if you decide to go for a long distance ride and it still gets almost 20mpg if driven rationally. The car has 55 000 miles on the clock the clutch is excellent and the wheels tires ( 2010 Vette chrome Spiders with Nitto tires absolutely beautiful) were installed in Apr. of last year the paint is excellent and the top shows no wear. All in all although it is a B title car if you want a C-5 that is really fun to drive looks outstanding and is very reliable .this is a car to seriously consider. The car is located in Central FL. and the price is 17.5k. If interested or questions please contact me at..... tonyduprey(at)msn.com Thanks.
