Vehicle Description
2006 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe
In 1951 a group of Harley Earl's "Special Projects" crew began work
on a GM sports car. Bob McLean designed a general layout for the
car which was originally code named, "Opel." William Durant, the
founder of GM, said a wallpaper pattern he saw in a Paris hotel in
1928 inspired the bow tie logo. Supposedly, he ripped off a small
piece of it and brought it back to Detroit. Myron Scott, at the
time Chevrolet's Chief photographer, is credited with coming up
with the Corvette name, drawing from the small, fast warships of
the "Corvette" class.
Fast forward to 2006 and this C6 version putting out 400HP and has
the first exposed headlights since 1962. This Coupe from Bowling
Green presents in very good condition with a mere 38,850 original
miles. This Corvette drives smoothly with a really nice ride
quality and makes it seem as though you are floating over the bumps
and bruises in the road.
Exterior
Very nice Monterey Red covers the exterior of this open headlight
fiberglass car. A black Targa top also in good condition can be
opened in the center for some extra airflow through the car.
5-spoke polished wheels are noted all around, and some bling from
the rear in the form of dual exhausts peeking out from the center.
Otherwise nice condition of the body and paint for this Vette.
Interior
With a nicely contrasting color to the Monterey Red exterior, we
are met with black leather buckets, and matching black leather door
panels. A very nice curved dash melts into a similar curved design
center console. Seat heaters, climate control, a single disc CD
player with the standard AM/FM/radio, anti-skid button mode, power
windows, power locks and power seats with 2 position memory, make
this Black interior as spicy as pepper! One more note about the
black carpeting covering the floor...beautiful!
Drivetrain
A 6.2 Liter V8 with sequential fuel injection can be seen
emblazoned with LS2 logos on exterior matching valve covers.
Attached is a 6180 6-speed automatic transmission.
Undercarriage
With the use of many lightweight materials, we see no corrosion, no
surface rust, and all structurally sound framing and floorpans.
4-wheel power disc brakes are seen, and this C6's suspension
consists of independent unequal-length double length wishbones with
transverse fiberglass mono-leaf springs.
With its beautiful black leather interior mating with the Monterey
Red exterior, it does not get any better than this with the color
combination. The low mileage is an attraction, as well as a very
clean overall engine bay, and well performing engine and
transmission. This open headlamp version of the C6 is a turnkey
sports car awaiting action.
