For years, the car magazines have been pitting the Corvette against the Porsche 911, as if buyers were cross shopping the two makes. In truth, there’s nothing more American than a Corvette, and the guys who love them, love them for exactly that reason. A Corvette fan would sooner drive a Honda Accord than one of the rear-engine missiles out of Stuttgart. The Corvette is unapologetic about what it is fast and powerful, with a big, honkin’ V8 up front and a sharp suspension that can make even average drivers look like Fangio. Wrap it up with one of the most distinctive and recognizable shapes in the entire motoring kingdom and you have a slam-dunk of a sports car that handily outsells its competition year after year. Cars like this low production 2005 Corvette convertible clearly demonstrate that there’s just nothing in the world quite like the wonderful plastic 2-seater from Bowling Green.

2005 was the first year for the C6 Corvette; that is, the sixth generation. An evolution of the revolutionary C5, it took everything that was great about the C5 the civility, the spacious trunk, the sonorous and lightweight LS engine and took it all to the next level. More power, better handling, improved ergonomics, and arguably a more handsome shape, the C6 continued to build on the Corvette team’s tradition of quality and performance. This Machine Silver 2005 roadster has just 35,204 miles from new and looks to have been lovingly cared for its entire life. Build quality on the C6 Corvettes is light years ahead of the good old, bad old days of the ’60s, and this car demonstrates that very clearly. Panel gaps are tight, and the molded plastic body panels tended to be flatter and straighter than many of their steel counterparts, and never rust. Production numbers for the Machine Silver convertibles is 2,076 which only 1,042 had the Steel Gray interior.

In terms of bang for the buck, you just can’t beat a C6 Corvette. They’re faster than 95% of the cars on the road, they have killer handling, they’re durable, comfortable, and hell, they even get good gas mileage. If you haven’t driven a C6 Corvette, you’re really missing out. This car is a screaming bargain that will give you all the benefits of a like new Corvette at a deeply discounted price. No, it isn’t a “”put it away forever”” collector piece, it’s a car that you can (and should!) enjoy every day, because it’ll make even the most boring commute a blast. Pick this one up for a fraction of the MSRP and make this summer the one where you finally get your dream car.
