The Appeal
The C6 Corvette Z51 Convertible paired a 6.0-litre LS2 V8 with uprated suspension, larger brakes and performance-oriented gearing, a combination that made it one of the most capable open-top American sports cars of its era. Fitted here with the six-speed manual gearbox rather than the automatic alternative, it offers a more engaging driving experience, and the Z51 package ensures the chassis keeps pace with the engine's considerable output.
This example, finished in black over a beige leather interior, has been in the hands of enthusiasts and presents well throughout. Mechanically, the car has benefited from significant recent investment, supported by invoices from a specialist in Montpellier. Imported from Italy in 2016 and subsequently registered in France with a standard Carte Grise, it represents a well-sorted example of an increasingly sought-after American convertible.
