Very clean example of 2013 Corvette 427 collector edition convertible. It has been well maintained and is still under the full factory warranty. If you're looking at this car you likely know all there is to know about it. If not, am adding the press release from GM below. This 427 vert does have few tasteful mods that include full 3M clear bra system that covers some part of almost every panel on this car which has kept the paint in immaculate condition. It also has the mild to wild conversion for the exhaust. This allows you the ability to choose if you would like to hear the throaty sound of the 7.0 or silence it for quieter cruise. It has 427 inscribed wind screen for top down cruising. It has been lowered on stock bolts which doesn't change the ride or handling characteristics, but gives it very aggressive look. Can easily be put back to stock as all other mods. recently had the windows tinted which is only reflected in one of the pics below. It has also been upgraded to set of iForged piece wheels with matte black centers and gloss hoops in 20x10 front and 20x13 rear sizes mounted on Nitto Invo tires. Tires have plenty of tread and are still near new. also have the factory chrome ZR1 one wheels (that were an upgrade along with the red calipers) with very fresh tires as well. Both sets will be included with buy it now purchase. The TPMS's are currently in the ZR1 one wheels. will also consider keeping the aftermarket wheels and offering lower buy it now if the stock ZR1 wheels are all that is preferred. If you're not familiar with these cars and are considering bidding please do some research about them or feel free to call and discuss with me in person if you like. They really are one of the most exclusive Corvettes of their time. This car is very easy to drive and quite enjoyable with all the amenities one needs. Anyone is welcome to come and view the vehicle during the auction. We also welcome any third party inspections on your behalf. Also, if you're the kind of person that needs to see, touch and smell it before purchase... we will be happy to pick you up at BNA and drop you back off so you can have the peace of mind in what you are purchasing. All deposits are non-refundable. Any emails asking to disclose what the reserve is will be ignored. That defeats the purpose of an auction. However, feel free to make offers if you feel inclined. If any additional pictures or information is needed feel free to call Brian at 615-207-6279. 




 Corvette 427 Convertible Collector EditionThe Corvette 427 Convertible blends elements of the Z06 and ZR1 models to create the fastest and most-capable convertible in Corvette’s history.Its heart is the 427-cubic-inch (7.0L) LS7 engine from the Corvette Z06. Rated at 505 horsepower (377 kW) and 470 lb.-ft. of torque (637 Nm), it is the most powerful engine ever installed in production Corvette convertible – and, like the Z06, the 427 Convertible is only available with six-speed manual transmission.The LS7 was co-developed with the Corvette Le Mans-winning GT1 engine and features lightweight titanium connecting rods and intake valves, as well as racing-inspired high-flow cylinder heads and dry-sump oiling system. It is assembled by hand at GM’s Performance Build Center, where customers who purchase the 427 Convertible Collector Edition can purchase the Corvette Build Experience option and assemble the engine that will power their new car.Supporting performance elements in the Corvette 427 Convertible include the driveline and rear axle system from the Corvette Z06, rear-mounted battery and standard Magnetic Selective Ride Control. The standard 19-inch front and 20-inch rear wheels are wrapped in ZR1-style Michelin PS2 tires. Lightweight machine-face Cup wheels – introduced on the 2012 Corvette Z06 with Z07 and Corvette ZR1 with PDE performance packages – come standard and include unique gray-painted pockets. Black Cup wheels or chrome ZR1-style wheels are also available.The 427 Convertible also features several carbon-fiber components that help reduce weight, including:Carbon fiber raised hood (introduced on the 2011 Z06 Carbon Edition)Carbon fiber Z06-style fendersCarbon fiber floor panelsThe “CFZ” carbon fiber front splitter and rocker panels are optional on the 427 Convertible, and included with the 60th Anniversary packageThe weight reduction brings the 427 Convertible’s curb weight to 3,355 pounds (1,522 kg). Combined with its 505-horsepower LS7 engine, it gives the 427 Convertible power-to-weight ratio of 6.64 – or one horsepower for every 6.64 pounds of vehicle mass. That’s better than:Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet – 6.90Audi R8 5.2 RSI Spyder – 7.58Aston Martin DBS Volante Convertible – 7.82Ferrari California Convertible – 8.31The combination of low mass and high output will make the 427 Convertible one of the fastest convertibles in the world, delivering estimated 0-60 performance of 3.8 seconds, quarter-mile performance of 11.8 seconds, lateral acceleration of 1.04 and top speed of more than 190 mph.The 427 Convertible is available in 2LT, 3LT and 4LT trim levels and will carry unique vehicle identification number sequence, similar to the Corvette ZR1.Corvette 60th Anniversary PackageAll 2013 Corvette models, including the 427 Convertible, will be available with 60th Anniversary Package, featuring an Arctic White exterior with Blue Diamond leather-wrapped interior with suede accents.

Two performance levels of the 427 were initially offered – an “L30” version rated at 390 horsepower and the “L72,” which cranked out 425 horsepower. Both were rated at 460 lb-ft. of torque.The range of 427 engines grew in 1967, with the addition of the “L71” and “L88” options. The L71 added unique triple-carburetor induction system that helped boost output to 435 horsepower. Known to collectors as “427/435” cars, these ’67 models – especially the convertibles – are especially sought-after collector cars.The “L88” delivered 430-horsepower (with single four-barrel carburetor) thanks to racing-tuned aluminum heads. Intended for customers who would immediately transform their new Corvette into race car, the L88 was installed in just 216 production Corvettes between 1967 and 1969.In 1969, special “L89” 427 engine combined the L71’s induction system with the L88’s aluminum heads, offering maximum horsepower with an approximately 100-pound weight advantage over the standard iron heads. Also in 1969, Chevrolet built two “ZL1” 427 Corvette coupes. The ZL1 engine was essentially an all-aluminum version of the L88, with the aluminum cylinder block and heads offering tremendous weight advantage for racing. More of the engines were sold as crate engines to racers.By 1970, the big-block engine grew to 454 cubic inches, just as the trend in high-compression, high-performance engines was beginning to wane. The four-year run of 427 Corvettes was already established as the golden era of performance.Commemorative Collector Edition and Anniversary Edition modelsRare and low-production examples of the Corvette have been around since its 1953 introduction, but Chevrolet didn’t begin building commemorative models until 1978, when the 25th Anniversary model – also known as the Silver Anniversary Corvette – was offered. The Corvette was in its third generation then and at the close of that epoch in 1982, Collectors Edition was offered, as well.Those special models launched what has become tradition for the Chevrolet Corvette, which has offered milestone anniversary and generational collector-edition models ever since. The 2013 Corvette 427 Convertible represents the first time Collector Edition and Anniversary Edition are being offered in the same year – and available on the same car.Below is list of the Collector Edition and Anniversary Edition models, as well as production numbers and their distinguishing features.YEARMODELFEATURESPRODUCTION197825th AnniversaryTwo-tone silver exterior with gray leather interior15,2831982Collector EditionSilver-beige exterior color with lower graphic accent; silver-beige leather interior; bronze-tinted roof panels; cast aluminum “fin” wheels and unique VIN identification6,759198835th AnniversaryWhite lower body with white 17-in. wheels, with black roof and dark removable roof panel; special badging and embroidered seat logos; all-white leather interior2,050199340th AnniversaryFirst anniversary model offered in coupe and convertible body styles; Ruby Red exterior with special badging; Ruby Red leather-covered seats6,7491996Collector EditionSebring Silver exterior with special badging; silver 17-inch ZR-1-style wheels; “Collector Edition”-embroidered seats; optional LT4 5.7L engine with 330 hp5,412200350th AnniversarySpecial 50th Anniversary Red exterior; specific badging and champagne-color five-spoke wheels; Shale leather-trimmed interior11,6322004Commemorative EditionCoupe and convertible models in LeMans Blue with Shale leather-trimmed interior; Z06 model in LeMans Blue with silver stripe graphics and carbon fiber hood4,829
