The big news in 2010 was the return of the Grand Sport package to
the C6. So big, in fact, it's difficult to find reviews and
information on the standard model coupes and convertibles. That may
be because more Grand Sports were produced than the other two
combined! In fact, only 1,003 base convertibles were produced in
2010, just 8.2% of total production.
For consignment, a 2010 Chevrolet Corvette 2LT convertible with a
title verified 45,680 actual miles. The 2LT package included a
power seat with adjustable bolsters, leather upgrades, cargo
enhancements and more.
Exterior
Impeccable paint covers a beautifully shaped C6 corvette, with the
Silver Ice Metallic providing a nice backdrop to the contrasting
colors including the black canvas top and the spectacular five
spoke chrome wheels, 18-inch in front and 19-inch in back. ZR rated
tires onboard have a mid 2022 date code. There's a gaping front
intake and single slit gills on the fenders, now with 430hp LS-3
emblems, flowing almost seamlessly to the back. And in the back,
the dramatic quad center exit exhaust tips and perhaps the most
recognizable tail lights in American automotive history, tucked
neatly in contouring coves. A tonneau that hints of a race fairing
covers the stowed top when it's down and the wide open plain of the
rear deck allows for rear visibility. Imperfections are few and
include a chip on the hood, minor scuffs especially on lower areas,
and typical chin scrapes on the front.
Interior
Looking in the car, all the Ebony surfaces are in great condition,
beginning with the door panels that are clean and smartly designed.
Black leather bucket seats are poised for riders with some very
slight wear on the driver's ingress point. Behind the black
steering wheel, the analogue gauges are relatively basic and are
flanked by contoured pods of toggle switches to control a number of
functions. An AM/FM/CD player takes up the top of the center stack
and a standard A/C panel falls below it, framed in sort of lizard
skin meets carbon fiber that continues down to frame the shifter in
the center console. Low pile black carpet is protected by
WeatherTech mats and there's one lining the trunk over gray carpet
as well. Every part of the interior is in great condition and
obvious signs of pampering are everywhere.
Drivetrain
Clean as a whistle, shrouded, and featuring a spattering of red
highlights, the bay houses a 6.2 liter LS3 V8 capable of 430
horsepower and mated to a 6L80E 6-speed automatic transmission that
routes power to 2.56 gear in back with limited slip.
Undercarriage
We find clean conditions underneath with only some slight signs of
usage and therefore, you'll get no complaints from us! The dual
exhaust travels through original equipment and exits in the
aforementioned epic fashion. Four wheel power disc brakes are on
board and suspension consists of double wishbone upper and lower
control arms, transverse composite leaf springs, and monotube shock
absorbers.
Drive-Ability
The fault column is empty on our checklist as this car performs as
well as expected for a well stewarded, low mileage example.
Track-like handling, power on demand, and we're guessing that with
the top down, the sky's the limit with visibility! Hi ho
Silver....away! While Classic Auto Mall represents that these
functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot
guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your
purchase.
Tired of shifting? Or maybe don't know how? We get it. And we think
that from a performance perspective, nothing is lost in the fun
factor on an automatic LS3. Two hands to hold, (and steer!), the
wheel and a relaxed left leg! If this is the flavor that appeals to
you, grab a spoon and your checkbook and scoop up what we're
dishing out...a stunning and straight 2010 Vette!
