1999 Chevrolet Corvette Hardtop 1G1YY12G8X5119738 - Custom Classics

Muscle Meets Forced Induction

The sleek lines of the C5 made an indelible impression carrying the Corvette legacy into the 21st century. And this rare 1999 Corvette Hardtop with ONLY 31,801 miles exemplifies that fusion of sophistication and untamed power that defined high-performance Detroit cars through the 1990s. Already quick off the showroom thanks to the legendary 345hp LS1 V8, the builder of this 'Vette had greater aspirations. Enter a ProCharger Intercooled Stage II supercharger system summoning a dyno-proven 469 horsepower with 450 torque to the rear wheels. Backed by extensive engine upgrades, there's room left to crank up the boost and horsepower up past 600hp potentially with different-sized pulley and the like. The mods blend seamlessly thanks to the beautiful Light Pewter Metallic paint. The carbon fiber ducktail spoiler along with the custom gloss black Z06 wheels, Corvette branded red caliper covers, and GS-style red stripes on the fender announces something special lies within.

Race-Tuned Handling

Included from the factory is Chevrolet's performance-focused Z51 suspension package featuring larger stabilizer bars, composite transverse leaf springs, and shocks tuned for superior handling and control. The front 17-inch wheels wear P245/45ZR17 tires while the 18-inch rear wheels are wrapped in P275/40ZR18 rubber placing every bit of power to the pavement. And with the fiberglass hardtop shaving off 90+lbs and looking great in the process, you'll be sure to impress friends at the track, drag strip, or local car show.

Custom Powerhouse

The engine has had a lot of upgrades and work done to it along with the full ProCharger supercharger system and we are still in the process of researching what exactly so more information about that will be added soon. But the dyno tells the story of 469 rear-wheel horsepower ready to rocket this corner carver down straightaways and out of hairpins.

Investment Grade Modern Muscle

Finding a clean and very well-maintained example with incredibly low miles, stacks of paperwork, and tens of thousands of dollars in receipts provides a rare canvas suited to tasteful modifications like these. With values rapidly rising among coveted late-model performance cars, this 1999 gives you a turn-key LS-powered supercharged beast needing nothing else to start enjoying and watching your investment accelerate - literally. The time capsule condition and ownership history provide peace of mind that this machine was built with fastidious care worthy of passing down to the next generation.
