The 2000 Chevrolet Corvette
A few changes this year, the "Wagon Wheel" wheels were replaced with a new 5 spoke
design. These standard wheels could be optionally polished. The Magnesium wheel
option was only $2000 this year. Dark Bowling Green Metallic and Millenium Yellow
were added to the exterior color lineup, Millenium Yellow costing an extra $500.
The Firethorn Red interior was replaced with Torch Red.
