Are all 2003 Corvettes 50th Anniversary Ed?
I have a 2003 Corvette and have been told its not a 50th Anniversary ed. Because it is not the Anniversary red. It is Torch Red and has the emblem on the hood that says Anniversary with the 50 below it. It does not have it on the top of the seat. So my question is, are all 2003 a 50th Anniversary Ed?
To be sure, Google the vin #
http://www.caranddriver.com/features/2003-chevrolet-corvette-50th-anniversary-special-edition-feature ...the article is just a little bit confusing...says They were going to build as many as 10,000-- depending on demand--- 50th Anniversary Editions, but over 35,000 Corvettes were built for the 2003 Model year. Now there is the 50th Anniversary Special Edition that came in only one, this, color
I am trying to sell it and want to be sure I list it right. Would I be able to say its a 50th Anniversary ed? I just wouldn't be able to say it was a 50th Anniversary Special Edition.
That's right. Yours is a 50th Anniversary Edition, just not Special Edition
Thank you so much for your help.
This was only in the special
My pleasure,
Could be my dad a few years ago work on a black 50 anniversary corvette convertible so your could be a 50
A 50th Anniversary Edition (RPO Z25) was offered during the 2003 model year. This code is for the. Anniversary Edition was offered with special paint and interior. All other 2003 Vettes like yours and mine are badged with 50th logos and were produced in the 50th consecutive year of vette production but they are not AE unless they came in RPO Z25. Sorry.
The 50th anniversary special edition only came in anniversary red with stone interior, the red is deed red with gold fleck it also has a 50th emblem on both front quarter panels to indicate that it is the limited edition model. We were fortunate enough to buy one new off the show room floor in 2003. We don't drive it very often but when we do we get a lot of looks.
The AE also has the F55 Magnetic Selective Ride Control suspension, according to this article: https://www.caranddriver.com/features/a15136334/2003-chevrolet-corvette-50th-anniversary- special-edition-feature/
This is correct! To be a 50th Anniversary Edition Corvette, it must be Anniversary Red, with a shale interior, and have 50th Emblems on the front bumper, the front fenders, and the trunk, also the seats and the floor mats have the 50th Emblem embroidered with them. Otherwise, it is just a beautiful Corvette produced in 2003!
exactly correct. i have 2 vettes a triple ruby 40th anniversary edition convertible. it has the exterior 40th anniv badging, sport seats and ruby center caps on the wheels . in 93 the seat cover manufacturer made the error of embroidering all 93 vette seat covers with 40th logo so gm decided to use them. that did not make all 93 vettes 40th anniv editions. ruby red is color specific to the 40th A.E. i also have a red 03 ragtop although the front and rear gadges indicate 50th anniversary it is to commemorate the 50th year of production. the 50th A.E. is a specific version of burgandy and has shale interior and if its a converible it has a shale top. for reference go on cargurus.com look up 2003 corvette convertibles theres one for sale fo 14 grand beautiful car for the dough.
and heres what a 40th A.E. looks like. note the matching ruby convertible top and possibky zoom in to see the badge on the side
that 40th is for sale. hit me up at redribbonreggie@hotmail.com fully restored like new 40,000 miles 6spd stick
I'm ready to sell my best friends 2003 EDITION Coupe It is such a awesome machine and it is beautiful and yet it is very simple, and easy to drive. I have every single maintenance record he kept in a file. I do not want to let it go for what I see as a really give away price of $13,500, but I do no need to have the awesome EDITION Coupe since I have medical issues. Regardless, I'm going go to sell it with 68,961 miles on it, and it runs great. That special metallic gold flake red that was specifically developed in Japan for the Edition red Vette is so very nice. Enough, time to sell it ..... I have not even had a single person look at the EDITION Vette, or anyone drive it, so will let it go to the 1st person who offered to pay $13,500. It is a sad day. I'll keep it until Tuesday or Thursday of this week since it will be raining, and I do not want to run it in the rain. I just drove it from my buddies house to my home in order to sell it. It has been in his AC'd & Heated garage since he passed in 11/25/19. SAD DAY. Cheers mates ..... dan here.
Hi Dan, I am very sorry to hear about your friend’s passing. Do you still have the 2003 C5 50th A.E Corvette Stingray? I turn 60 in mid-August ‘20 and this is my dream car! I am willing one into my garage but first I have to will a garage!
