Introduced in 2005, the C6 generation of Chevrolet’s Corvette brought significant refinements that enhanced its style, performance, and everyday usability. The exterior dimensions were slightly reduced in length and width, while the wheelbase was lengthened to improve ride quality and handling. Sleek, taut body lines replaced the rounded curves of the C5, with the most notable design change being the exposed headlamps—departing from the pop-up headlights used since 1963. This controversial yet practical decision reduced front-end weight and gave the C6 a modern appearance reminiscent of the Ferrari 575 Maranello.
Under the hood, the new LS2 V8 engine delivered a robust 400 horsepower, a step up from the LS1’s 350 horsepower. The brakes were upgraded, and the suspension was recalibrated to complement the changes in weight and wheelbase. Inside, the C6 featured a redesigned interior with improved seats and higher-quality switchgear, addressing one of the C5’s most criticized aspects. Overall, the C6 marked a significant evolution, proudly carrying the Corvette legacy until the generation’s retirement in 2013.
The 2006 Corvette convertible showcased here embodies the best of the sixth generation. Finished in Arctic White with a matching Cashmere canvas top and Cashmere interior, this Corvette exudes elegance. The LS2 V8 engine is paired with a six-speed manual transaxle and features the sought-after Z51 performance package, rare for a convertible. This package includes larger cross-drilled brake rotors, performance-tuned suspension, and a 3.42 rear axle ratio for sharper acceleration, making this Corvette a joy to drive.
The interior is outfitted with the LT2 trim, offering luxurious amenities such as power-operated and heated leather sport bucket seats, a heads-up display, memory package, auto-dimming mirrors, a power-adjustable steering column, and a premium Bose 7-speaker audio system with AM/FM/CD/XM, DVD-based navigation, and Homelink universal garage door opener.
This two-owner Corvette was originally sold in New Jersey before relocating to Florida in 2019. It has been meticulously maintained, with recent service including fluid flushes (power steering, brakes, transmission, rear differential, and coolant), an oil change, alignment, and replacement of the harmonic balancer, belts, and tensioners. Included with the sale are the original window sticker, owner’s manuals, navigation DVDs, two key fobs, and WeatherTech floor mats.
This stunning Corvette is ready for its next owner to enjoy and cherish!
