1997 Chevrolet Corvette For Sale by Owner in White Marsh, MD

Beautiful car lived its whole life in Arizona until last year when I bought it  for my wife. She is a high school administrator (Principal) and will not drive  the car because it is so beautiful she fears it will be vandalized. So it sits  in the garage most of the time covered. It needs a good home where it will be  enjoyed and used. Everything works A/C blows cold no mechanical issues very very  clean car. Oh and did I mention very very very fast. Interior excellent  condition. New tires on front about 2/3 worn on rear.    RANKED NO 5 BEST CORVETTE EVER MADE BY EDMONDS AND INDYWERKS    Write up on the car by Indywerks    5. 1997 Corvette C5  While the C4 generation Corvette was capable, it wasn't until the C5 came along  in 1997 that Chevrolet finally produced a Corvette that mixed both performance  capability and true touring comfort. The C5 was the first Corvette that was as  comfortable crossing the country as dicing for position on a racetrack.  The trick to the C5's uncanny balance was that the balance was engineered in  from the beginning. The C5's basic structure was an all-new backbone frame that  positioned the transmission between the rear wheels so its mass could offset the  engine's mass up front. The result was better weight distribution.  Pushing the C5's advantage even further was the brilliant all-new LS1 5.7-liter  V8. The first all-aluminum V8 used in a volume production Corvette, and GM's  first all-new small-block since 1955, the LS1 produced 345 hp and a seamless  ribbon of torque. And it was quick, too. With the four-speed automatic  transmission it would run from zero to 60 mph in just over 5 seconds. With the  six-speed manual, that time would drop to just under 5 seconds.
