This Chevrolet Corvette C5 is so “new” that even the plastic covers on the seats and the labels are intact.

The seller has also added that the car has never been registered and has got a mere 28 miles on the odo. There are repeated mentions of this being the last C5 Corvette ever made and even the date of it rolling out of the Bowling Green Assembly plant has been furnished. It’s 1st July 2004, by the way.

The car is currently at the National Corvette Museum and has been loaned out because of its historical significance.
