The 2004 model year was the final iteration of the C5 Corvette, but it'd be wrong to asses that it no longer sold well. While generations entering the last year of production are typically less appealing to customers, the 2004 Corvette was an exception, with sales surpassing 34,000 units.
The coupe was the best-selling configuration, with over 47.5% of the total output. Over 16,160 Corvettes used this body style, while the convertible was the second most popular configuration, with 35.9% or 12,216 units.
The Z06 remained a popular choice, accounting for 16.7% of all Corvettes produced this year, meaning that Chevrolet produced 5,683 specimens with this desirable package.
The Corvette in these photos is a convertible, and contrary to what you might expect, it's not an old car. Actually, it is, but it's not the kind of old car you can ignore. It's a new old car, as it has only 1,327 miles on the clock, having been stored in a heated garage since day one until today.
The Vette emerged as part of an estate and had a single owner since the moment it left the dealership. It's unclear why it hasn't seen the road more often, but the eBay seller reveals that the Corvette still wears the original tires. You should probably replace them with new tires if you plan to drive the car more often, but I doubt many people will do this with a new old Corvette.
Its place is in a heated garage, as these fantastic odometer numbers must be preserved without adding too many miles.
The car looks as good as new, and you probably won't find anything to make you walk away. However, considering that such a car is rare – have you ever seen a 2004 Corvette with lower miles? – an in-person inspection is mandatory to get a full picture of everything inside, outside, and under the hood.
The Corvette was fitted with a 5.7-liter V8 engine paired with an automatic transmission, and it's safe to assume that everything works perfectly from a mechanical perspective. However, it's unclear if the Vette has recently been serviced, with the Carfax report revealing two maintenance records, possibly conducted after the owner brought the car.
The selling price can't be low, and the people at Mustang Resto Parts believe $31,950 is a fair expectation for a 2004 Corvette in this condition. They also enabled the Make Offer option, meaning that they're willing to listen to other offers. Only two people have added the car to their watchlists, so it'll be interesting to see if this Vette finds a new home by the time the listing expires in six days.
It's parked in Independence, Missouri, and it should be able to drive anywhere on its wheels.
