Vehicle Description
An ultra-hot Corvette Z06 is a terrific car ready to take on any
track. Except when you have a 1 of only 399 examples of the 2007
Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Ron Fellows Edition, and it has averaged
less than 350 miles annually. Then you know you have a collector
car preserved to be a true collector's investment.
Ron Fellows is a true North American racing champion, and he
absolutely deserves a C6 commemorating his victories in the C6R. So
Chevrolet made sure these were going to be special. Fellows is
Canadian, and so it only seems fitting that this was the first Z06
made in Arctic White. It was part of its own special paint code,
because these also got exclusive Grand Sport-style fender stripes
with maple leaf embedded within the pattern. And because of the
nearly impossible low mileage, this has a showroom-fresh look,
right down to the windshield banner. Because this celebrates a
racing hero, the Z06 is the right model to use. Chevy engineered
these to be a real upgrade over the already awesome standard C6.
There's the wider stance, exclusive full-width rear spoiler, and
functional scoops to aid in cooling and channeling the air... it
all make this both look more aggressive and allow you to drive more
aggressively. And because this one looks so good, it's great to
have a mirror-like polish on the Z06's exclusive alloys.
The mixture of premium and performance continues inside. Black and
red is one of the best combos around, and of course, part of this
premium feeling is that the level of preservation also keeps this
one feeling factory fresh. When you do get behind the wheel, you
instantly get the tingle of a car made for drivers. You have the
full Z06 branded instrumentation, a grippy leather-wrapped steering
wheel, and heads-up display. The special edition Z06 comes loaded
with everything you want, including dual zone climate control,
heated seats, power seats, power windows, power locks, keyless
entry & ignition, speed-sensitive power steering, and an
AM/FM/CD/XM Bose stereo. A modern classic also means modern safety
features such as dual front airbags, side airbags, and ABS. These
were so loaded that there were only two options available:
satellite navigation and OnStar... and this one has them both. So
it makes this true rarity even more collectible. And just in case
you even need to prove just how extraordinary this car is, Ron
Fellows' actual signature is inside the center console noting that
this is #75.
The core of the special Z06 package is its original all-aluminum
427 cubic inch V8. The LS7 motor is a collectible all on its own.
It returned Corvettes to the iconic displacement while bringing it
into the modern fuel-injected era. So it's especially nice to have
the numbers-matching motor in this special edition car looking so
factory fresh. With 505 horsepower on tap, it truly lives up to the
heritage put forward by this limited production race car tribute.
It fires up and idles like any good modern machine should, but that
special Z06 exhaust system really lets you know this one wants to
play. It's mated to a six-speed gearbox that gives you full control
all the way to the 7000 RPM redline. The Z06's body and chassis
shaved precious pounds by substituting lighter materials than the
base Corvette, and components like the transmission and
differential have their own coolers for track use. Massive brakes
with bright red six-piston calipers up front and four-piston units
out back will put up with all the punishment you can dish out.
Plus, this is all part of a package with an adaptive fully
independent suspension topped off with wide performance tires.
The sale comes complete with the right pieces for a collectible
like this, including the original window sticker, owner's manual
packet, and magazine articles. So when you want a modern Corvette
with pedigree and power, you know these rare Ron Fellows Edition
coupes can't be beat. Call today!!!
