2005 Chevrolet Corvette Base Convertible

Identified as serial number 00002 and showing just 1,258 miles, this 2005 Anteros is one of the earliest known production examples of the coachbuilt American grand touring car. Produced by California-based Anteros Coachworks, Inc. and built on a Chevrolet Corvette platform, the Anteros combined exotic European-inspired styling with proven American performance and serviceability. Produced in extremely limited numbers, with enthusiast sources suggesting fewer than 100 examples were completed, each Anteros was tailored to its original owner. According to historical accounts associated with the project, serial number 00002 is believed to be among the earliest carbon-fiber production cars completed during the model's initial production program. Finished in Jewel Red over a tan leather interior and powered by a supercharged LS2 V8, this exceptionally well-preserved convertible is accompanied by its serial-number identification plaque. Finished in Jewel Red, the Anteros wraps Chevrolet's sixth-generation Corvette architecture in bespoke composite bodywork inspired by classic Italian grand touring cars. Sculpted fenders, flowing body lines, integrated hood vents, and distinctive side gills create a dramatic profile, while a custom grille, center-mounted quad exhaust outlets, and round taillamps distinguish the car from its Corvette origins. Carbon-fiber accents are incorporated throughout the design, including the mirror caps, fuel filler surround, taillamp panel, and engine compartment panels. Multi-piece alloy wheels wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport tires complete the car's purposeful stance. Beneath the custom bodywork, a supercharged 6.0-liter LS2 V8 provides approximately 550 horsepower. A Magnuson roots-style supercharger delivers immediate throttle response and broad torque, while a 4L65E 4-speed automatic transaxle channels power to the rear wheels. Independent front and rear suspension, four-wheel power disc brakes, and Corvette-derived chassis engineering provide balanced road manners and dependable performance. A Magnaflow stainless exhaust system with quad center-exit outlets supplies an aggressive soundtrack. The interior was extensively reworked and trimmed in tan leather. Custom Anteros bucket seats feature embroidered logos, while bespoke white-face instrumentation, a wood-rim steering wheel, burl wood trim, custom door panels, and upgraded carpeting elevate the cabin beyond the standard Corvette configuration. Corvette-sourced amenities including navigation, power accessories, and modern convenience features were retained, blending contemporary functionality with handcrafted presentation. Combining coachbuilt craftsmanship, extensive carbon-fiber detailing, supercharged LS2 performance, and exceptionally low mileage, this Anteros occupies a unique place among modern American specialty cars. Identified by serial number 00002 and believed to be among the earliest production examples completed, it represents a rare opportunity to acquire a highly individualized grand touring car that merges exotic styling with proven Corvette engineering.
