We hope you can read the detailed information on the Billy Bob below as this FRC Corvette sparked the revolution in the 25 year production of the Z06s we know today. Its a one of a kind find and very rare.
The 1999 Fixed Roof Coupe (FRC) Corvette, nicknamed Billy Bob, is a distinctive model that stands out as one of the best in the C5 lineup due to its unique design and performance characteristics. Introduced as a new body style in 1999, the FRC was the predecessor to the high-performance Z06. Back in 1999, the Z06 was only a idea by GM with no plans to see if demand would suffice that allowed assembly lines to be changed to build a sleek, muscle car from the Corvette production line. It was a unique time in history, GM was seeing a market crash from the tech-bubble bursting and used this FRC model to test the markets. The FRC was a instant hit. The FRCs were sold $1,000 less than the coupe at GM dealers off the lot, but with market demand the prices increased $6,000 over the coupe once they were produced and on the street sold used. GM had its answer, and the Z06 product line was launched two years later during one the most terrifying economic times our country had faced. We now see Z06s everywhere and the rest is history!
The 1999 FRCs feature sleek and more rigid rooflines compared to the standard coupe. This design improved the cars structural integrity, reduced weight, and made the FRC the winner at the track. After the notice at the track and its success the prices started to climb and later the Z06 models came with no options but cost more than a fully loaded coupe.
The nickname Billy Bob became a name special to the 1999 FRCs because most were not equipped with many options but were selling for more than fully loaded coupes and convertibles. GM referenced the nickname to the hard-working character you might find in the heart of America. Billy Bob perfectly referenced the FRCs that hit the streets and tracks of the USA with high performance.
