P1 Exotics proudly presents this 1999 Chevrolet Corvette Fixed Roof Coupe (FRC), a rare and highly sought‑after variant of the C5 generation. Produced for only two years, the FRC combined the Corvette’s timeless design with a lighter, more rigid body structure, making it the foundation for the later Z06.
Finished in Torch Red over Black Leather, this Corvette captures the bold spirit of American performance. The fixed roof coupe design was unique to 1999 and 2000, giving the car a purposeful stance and improved rigidity. With just 8,353 miles, this example represents an exceptional opportunity to acquire one of the most collectible Corvettes of the era.

Under the hood lies the 5.7‑liter LS1 V8, factory‑rated at 345 horsepower and 350 lb‑ft of torque. Paired with a 6‑speed manual transmission and limited‑slip differential, it delivers the kind of raw, mechanical connection that defines the Corvette experience. The Z51 performance suspension, Active Handling system, and ventilated disc brakes ensure precise control, while the exhaust note reminds you why the Corvette has been America’s sports car for generations.
The Torch Red paint is vibrant and unmistakable, accentuating the Corvette’s long hood and muscular haunches. Driving it, you immediately notice how the fixed roof design stiffens the chassis, giving the car a planted, confident feel through corners. The five‑spoke alloy wheels 17 inches up front and 18 inches at the rear sit on original Goodyear Eagle F1 tires, a testament to its preservation. Quad exhaust outlets complete the look, reinforcing that this Corvette was engineered to be driven hard, yet cherished.
Inside, the black leather bucket seats are supportive yet comfortable, with a power‑adjustable driver’s seat that positions you perfectly behind the wheel. The cockpit is simple, driver‑focused, and unmistakably Corvette, with a leather‑wrapped steering wheel framing a 200‑mph speedometer and a tachometer with a 6,000‑rpm redline. Features like air conditioning, Bose audio, CD stereo, and cruise control make it easy to enjoy long drives, while the odometer reading of just 8,353 miles confirms this car has been sparingly used. With its originality, documentation, and condition, this FRC is more than a Corvette it’s a rare piece of Corvette history.
