This 2004 Chevrolet Corvette convertible was modified in the style of a 1962 C1 Corvette by Classic Reflection Coachworks of Lakewood, Washington, in 2007. The “Retro-Vette” build involved replacing the factory fiberglass panels with red-finished carbon-fiber bodywork, and the car also has a black soft top and red leather upholstery. Power is provided by a 5.7-liter LS1 V8 linked to a six-speed manual gearbox and a limited-slip differential, and equipment includes 18″ SSR GT-10 wheels, dual-zone automatic climate control, power-adjustable seats, a head-up display, a CD stereo, and a Bose sound system. The current owner purchased the car on BaT in November 2023. This modified C5 convertible is now offered on dealer consignment with an owner’s manual and a clean Texas title.
The “Retro-Vette” conversion by Classic Reflection Coachworks was finished in 2007 and included replacing fiberglass exterior body panels with C1-style carbon-fiber bodywork and a refinish in red. Additional details include a black soft top, chrome bumpers and trim, and C1-style badging.
The 18″ SSR GT-10 wheels are mounted with Michelin Pilot Sport tires measuring 265/35 up front and 275/35 out back. The car is equipped with traction control and four-wheel ventilated disc brakes.
The cabin features two power-adjustable bucket seats trimmed in red leather with CRC-embroidered backrests. Amenities include a head-up display, driver-seat position memory settings, dual-zone automatic climate control, a CD stereo, a Bose sound system, and cruise control.
The leather-wrapped steering wheel frames a 200-mph speedometer and a tachometer with a 6k-rpm redline as well as gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, voltage, and fuel level. The digital odometer indicates 33k miles, approximately 10 of which were added under current ownership.
The 5.7-liter LS1 V8 was factory rated at 350 horsepower and 375 lb-ft of torque when equipped with the manual gearbox.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual gearbox and a limited-slip differential.
The Classic Reflection Coachworks tag affixed to the front frame rail specifies an August 2007 build date and designates the car as build number 32.
The Carfax report shows no accidents or other damage and lists history in California, Washington, Texas, Montana, and Georgia. A manufacturer safety recall for a lower control arm washer is noted in an August 2004 entry.
