Corvettes for Sale: Rare 2003 Corvette Indy 500 Festival Car on Craigslist


If you are looking for a rare, yet affordable collectible Corvette, this 2003 Corvette Indy 500 Festival car offered for sale on Craigslist out of Mesa, Arizona may pique your interest!

In addition to providing the official Pace Cars for the 2003 Indianapolis 500, Chevrolet also provided over 50 identical “Festival” Corvettes that were used by drivers, track officials, and other VIPs during the Month of May. Each of the Festival cars is documented at the track with a sequence number and who drove the car during its stint at the Brickyard. After the Indy 500 has ended, these Corvettes are sent to dealers who sell them as used “Festival” Corvettes.

In 2003, it was the 2003 50th Anniversary Corvette in special anniversary red paint that paced the “Greatest Spectacle in Racing” and like the official pace cars, the Yellow Festival Corvettes also contained graphics with “Indianapolis 500”, “Chevrolet”, and “50th Anniversary” on the car while the special 50th Anniversary graphic decorated the hood.

The ad listing for this Millennium Yellow 2003 Convertible for sale on Craigslist is missing some important details about its use as a Festival Corvette at the 2003 Indy 500, but the seller says that it comes with all its original paperwork and documentation. The Corvette is powered by the standard 346 ci/350-horsepower LS1 that is mated to the 4-speed automatic transmission. Inside is a black interior and it shows just 14,000 miles on the odometer since the race!

This 2003 Corvette is priced at $29,999 and in our opinion, that is relatively equal to what a great condition, low mileage C5 convertibles are priced for in the market, even without the provenance of its duty as an Indy 500 Festival Corvette.
