The 1999 Corvette Fixed Roof Coupe (FRC) was the direct predecessor to the C5 Z06 and was built as the lightweight, performance-focused Corvette of the lineup. Every production FRC came with the 345-horsepower LS1 V8, 6-speed manual transmission, and Z51 Performance Handling Package; its permanently fixed roof made the chassis roughly 12% stiffer and about 80 pounds lighter than the regular coupe. Chevrolet produced only 4,031 FRC Hardtops in 1999, and the basic FRC body and performance philosophy became the foundation for the 385-horsepower Z06 in 2001.

The 1999 Fixed Roof Coupe became far more popular than Chevrolet expected, with sales reportedly exceeding their original expectations by nearly threefold. Its success helped lead Chevrolet to develop the 385-horsepower Z06 for 2001, using the lightweight and rigid FRC body as its foundation, and the Z06 would continue through the remainder of the C5 generation. Because of its limited production, unique history, and direct connection to the development of the Z06, the FRC has become increasingly popular and collectible. Many of these cars were modified, raced, or turned into track cars because the fixed-roof design provided a lighter and stiffer platform, making clean original examples increasingly difficult to find. We probably see only one FRC a year at Corvette Warehouse, making this a very cool, rare Corvette with a tremendous amount of history behind it.

The Billy Bob nickname actually came from former Chevrolet General Manager Jim Perkins, a Texan, when the FRC was originally being planned as a cheaper, stripped-down entry-level Corvette for the budget-minded Billy Bobs of the world. Chevrolet ultimately abandoned that idea and turned the FRC into the exact opposite, a lighter, stiffer, manual-only performance Corvette that became known as the Hardtop for Hardcores. That unusual history, two-year 1999 2000 production run, low production numbers, and its direct connection to the birth of the C5 Z06 are what make the FRC important to Corvette history today
