Lot #453 - A 2013 Chevrolet Corvette 427 Convertible 60th Anniversary Edition with 1,017 actual miles, Window Sticker, 1SC option and factory trickle charger. This ‘Vette features a carbon-fiber raised hood, carbon-fiber Z06-style fenders and carbon-fiber floor panels. The "CFZ" carbon-fiber front splitter and rocker panels are also included with the 60th Anniversary package, which features a blue top, Blue Diamond interior, ZR1-style rear spoiler, special badging and gray-painted brake calipers. The 60th Anniversary graphics package adds full-length racing stripes in Pearl Silver Blue, a tonal stripe stitched into the convertible top, extending the graphic theme over the roof and features 60th badges on the fasciae and the waterfall panel, 60th logos on the instrument panel, gauge cluster and sill plates, and 60th logo wheel center caps, steering wheel and seat headrests. This one-year-only Corvette blends elements of the Z06 and the ZR1, the fastest most-capable convertible in Corvette's history. Its heart is the 427ci LS7 engine featuring lightweight titanium connecting rods and intake valves, as well as high-flow cylinder heads and a dry-sump oiling system. Assembled by hand at GM's Performance Build Center, the engine is rated at 505hp and 470 ft/lbs of torque. The combination of low mass and high output make the 427 convertible one of the fastest convertibles, delivering estimated 0-60 performance of 3.8 seconds, quarter-mile performance of 11.8 seconds at 121.5mph, lateral acceleration of 1.04 g and a top speed of more than 190 mph. With the most powerful, and only, factory 427 engine ever installed in a production C4, C5, C6 or C7 Corvette convertible, like the C6 Z06 and ZR1, the 427 convertible was only available with a 6-speed manual transmission. Performance elements in the Corvette 427 convertible also include the driveline and rear-axle system from the Corvette Z06, a rear-mounted battery and standard Magnetic Selective Ride Control. The standard 19” front and 20” rear lightweight machine-face cup wheels include unique gray-painted pockets and are wrapped in ZR1-style Michelin PS2 tires.
