1999 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

Out of a combination of a lifelong automotive passion and an unyielding desire to support the people of his Alabama community, the Generous Collection was born. Mr. Greg Rusk, a successful business leader in the cardboard industry, with a big heart for helping families and friends in times of need, would regularly pay overly generous fees to acquire an interesting vehicle. After decades of collecting and supporting local automotive enthusiasts, the Rusk family is ready for these vehicles, each with their own story, to write their next chapter back on the road, where they belong.

The Generous Collection returns with Part 2 offering over 250 cars in August all offered without reserve, emerging from years of long-term silent storage. From the quiet shadows of the Generous Collection to the sunshine of backroads and highways, enthusiasts now have the opportunity to own a piece of a generous car-collecting legacy.

Two years after the all-new C5 debuted, the 1999 Corvette continued to redefine performance and refinement for America’s sports car.

Combining sleek styling with impressive aerodynamics, the C5 had a remarkably low 0.29 drag coefficient. Beneath its sculpted bodywork, its hydroformed frame delivered exceptional structural rigidity, while an innovative balsa wood and glass-fiber floor helped reduce noise and vibration without adding unnecessary weight.

And under the hood, the 345-horsepower LS1 V8 gave the C5 impressive performance. Paired with either a 4-speed automatic or a 6-speed manual transmission, the Corvette could sprint from 0 to 60 mph in just five seconds. Combined with a sophisticated independent suspension and 4-wheel disc brakes, the C5 offered sharp handling, a refined ride, and confident stopping power — making it one of the most capable and well-rounded Corvettes of its era.

This example is finished in Navy Blue over Light Oak upholstery, wears later thin-spoke Corvette wheels, and is powered by an LS1 V8 backed by a 4-speed automatic transmission. It now shows approximately 109,600 miles following registration history in the Southeastern U.S.

This 1999 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe is now represented at no reserve by a Broad Arrow Specialist with a clean CARFAX Vehicle History Report and a clean Alabama title in the current owner's name.

Please note that all lots in The Generous Collection are offered after many years of storage, without operation or service, in warehouse facilities. The seller endeavored to provide very limited mechanical servicing to bring some cars back to running potential; however, not all cars will be running at time of sale. Because of the extended static display, it must be assumed that all cars will require extensive additional mechanical attention before being driven safely and, in most cases, cleaning both the interiors and exteriors. All the cars will have imperfections associated with long-term static storage and require extensive sorting to perform best and safely. The burden of determining a car’s status, both mechanical and cosmetic, rests fully on the bidder, prior to bidding and the close of the auction. All lots are sold as is, where is.  

Additionally, due to the location of the collection and limited access to the facility following the close of the auction, all lots must be retrieved while a Hagerty Marketplace representative is onsite, between the hours of 9AM to 6PM local time beginning Monday, September 14 through Wednesday, September 30. No cars can be retrieved prior to September 14, and any lots remaining after September 30 will be re-located outside in the parking lot for retrieval by their buyers.
