A Collector Grade “Y2K” Capsule
The late ’90s promised us the future.
Then Chevrolet put an LS V8, a manual transmission, pop-up headlights, and a driver-focused cockpit into one of the most recognizable American sports cars ever made.
The C5 Corvette landed at exactly the right moment: modern enough to feel like tomorrow, mechanical enough to still make every mile an event. This 2001 Convertible doubles down on that formula with the Z51 Performance Handling Package, 6-speed manual, black exterior, AAB Memory Package, performance brake upgrades, and show-quality presentation.
The appraisal identifies approximately 14,173 Corvette Convertibles produced for 2001, with roughly 3,713 cars receiving the Z51 package and approximately 2,271 receiving the AAB Memory Package.
In other words: this isn't just nostalgia.
It's the good stuff.
A car from the era of flip phones, CD changers, midnight release parties, and the firm belief that everything looked better in black.
