TURN IT ALL BACK TO 2001 AGAIN

INSTANT NOSTALGIA

ENTER NOW

win a 2001 corvette

Forget dial-up. Forget burning CDs. Forget waiting until after 9 p.m. to make a phone call.

This is one piece of turn-of-the-millennium technology that still feels fast.

You could win a 2001 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible powered by a 5.7L LS V8 and paired with a 6-speed manual transmission. Finished in black and equipped with the desirable Z51 Performance Handling Package, this C5 brings together the unmistakable shape, analog attitude, and open-air performance that made the Corvette a bedroom-wall icon for an entire generation.

And this one is far from ordinary. Its appraisal notes a rebuilt engine, upgraded drilled and slotted performance brakes, AAB Memory Package, custom ghost-flame treatment, and exceptional overall presentation.

Appraised Fair Market Value: $31,500

No cheat codes required.

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.

A COLLECTOR-GRADE “Y2K TIME 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.
