Gateway Classic Cars of St. Louis is proud to digitally present this 1998 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe, a stunning example of late-'90s American performance that ushered in a new era of refinement, technology, and design for the Corvette nameplate.
Finished in Light Pewter Metallic, this Corvette exudes a timeless and understated sophistication. The body lines are clean and aerodynamic, representing the fifth-generation Corvette (C5) - a major evolution from the C4, introducing an all-new hydroformed chassis, rear-mounted transaxle, and composite body construction that delivered exceptional rigidity and balance.
Under the hood sits the 5.7-liter LS1 V8, rated at 345 horsepower and 350 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission. The LS1 was a revolutionary powerplant for its time - all aluminum, efficient, and highly responsive - setting the foundation for the LS family of engines that dominate the modern performance world today.
Decoding the VIN (1G1YY22G2XW5128493) confirms this Corvette as a 1998 Coupe, assembled at the Bowling Green, Kentucky plant, featuring the LS1 engine and factory automatic transmission.
Inside, you'll find a well-kept black leather interior, designed around the driver with flowing console lines, analog gauges, and supportive sport seats. Features include dual-zone climate control, power-adjustable seats, Bose premium sound, and removable targa roof panel, offering both closed-cabin comfort and open-air enjoyment.
The C5 generation refined everything the Corvette was known for - balancing raw V8 power with comfortable touring manners and impressive reliability. It's a model that still feels contemporary on the road, yet is old-school enough to engage the senses like only an analog sports car can.
