This Chevrolet Corvette Z06 427 Convertible Collector’s Edition is a rare and thrilling limited-production open-topped sports car, offered with only two owners from new and very low mileage. Under the bonnet is the naturally aspirated 427ci (7.0-litre) LS7 V8, producing 505bhp, driven through the rear wheels via an engaging six-speed manual transmission. As a result, the Z06 427 can complete the 0-60mph sprint in a supercar-rivalling 3.8 seconds, before going on to a claimed top speed of more than 190 mph. This right-hand drive converted car has had two owners from new, and was previously garaged and maintained for eight years. The odometer shows just 2,225 Kms. This C6-generation Z06 427 convertible is understood to be one of only 2,552 examples produced, one of around 1,000 equipped with the 60th Anniversary package, and one of only 691 examples also ordered with the Heritage Package. Introduced in 2005, the C6-generation Chevrolet Corvette built upon its predecessor’s already impressive levels of performance, while also featuring updated styling and improved handling. As a 60th Anniversary Edition, this Z06 Convertible is equipped with even greater firepower in the form of its 7.0-litre (427ci) LS7 V8, which was codeveloped with Chevrolet’s Le Mans-winning race team, and was hand-built at General Motors’ Performance Build Centre. Additional features include a raised carbon-fibre, a Z06-style front spoiler, carbon fibre Z06-style front fenders, and carbon fibre-floor panels. This car was also ordered with the optional Heritage Package, adding ‘427’ embroidered floor mats and black alloy wheels. As with all Anniversary Edition C6 Corvettes, this example is finished in Arctic White offset by full-length Pearl Silver Blue racing stripes and a blue convertible top accented by tonal stitched stripes. Inside, the cabin is trimmed in Blue Diamond leather upholstery highlighted by blue stitching and accented by 60th anniversary stitching on the headrests, 60th anniversary emblems, and Alcantara trim on the steering wheel, door cards, gear knob, gear gaiter and handbrake. It rides on a set of 19-inch front and 20-inch rear lightweight ‘Cup’ alloy wheels finished in satin black, housing grey Corvette-branded brake callipers and shod with Pirelli P-Zero tyres on the front and Michelin Pilot Sports on the rear. The factory specification includes a multifunction steering wheel, a trip computer, cruise control, a built-in infotainment system with satellite navigation and Bluetooth connectivity, keyless entry and start, heads-up display, dual-zone automatic air conditioning, electrically adjustable heated seats with two-position driver memory, selective ride modes, and a BOSE sound system. As mentioned above, the car has been professionally converted from left to right-hand drive. The car comes with the owner’s manuals and a key fob. The seller notes a crack in the front spoiler, but there is no other known bodywork damage. The Arctic White paintwork is reported to be in excellent condition, and is protected by a Fireball graphene coating. There are some scuffs on the underside of the front spoiler, as well as a small chip on its edge, but the finish is otherwise in impressive order. Stepping inside, the cabin is presented in great shape, though the seller notes a small scratch in the driver’s seat base. There is also minor deterioration on the traction control button, and some creasing on the seats, but no wear or discolouration. There are no known mechanical or electrical faults, and there are no warning lights showing on the dashboard. This Corvette’s most recent maintenance was carried out in December 2021 at around 2,009 Kms, which consisted of a service and full fluid replacement. This Chevrolet Corvette Z06 427 Convertible Collector’s Edition is a thrilling limited-production modern open-topped sports car, which has been converted to right-hand drive for enhanced usability, and is offered for sale with very low mileage from new. One of only 691 examples ordered with both the 60th Anniversary and Heritage Packages, boasting the riotous 7.0-litre ‘LS7’ V8, and with an exclusive factory colour scheme and specification, it would make a discerning addition to any assembly of modern performance icons, and a supercar-rivalling weekend toy for any enthusiast.
