2013 Chevrolet Corvette 427 Convertible

Why This Vehicle is Special

If you are wanting a rare Corvette car that looks sharp with its Artic White paint job with the Diamond Blue Interior and dark blue convertible top, handles like it is on rails, then the 2013 Chevrolet Corvette 427 Convertible we have at Skyway Classics is all of the above and is absurdly fast.

Corvette marked its 60th anniversary in 2013 and it is also the final year for the current generation of the sports car. To commemorate the production milestone and give the “C6” a proper send-off, Chevrolet offers the Corvette 427 Convertible Collector Edition.

The 427 Convertible Collector Edition blends elements of the Z06 and ZR1 models to create the fastest and most-capable convertible in Corvette’s history.

Mechanical

The powerplant consists of the 427-cubic-inch (7.0L) LS7 engine with the striking red LS7 fuel rail covers from the Corvette Z06. Rated at 505 horsepower and 470 lb.-ft. of torque, it was the most powerful engine ever installed in a production Corvette convertible then, and, like the Z06, the 427 Convertible was only available with a six-speed manual transmission. It also features a dry-sump oiling system.

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 a dry-sump oiling system. It is assembled by hand at GM’s Performance Build Center.

Supporting performance elements in the Corvette 427 Convertible include the driveline and rear axle system from the Corvette Z06, a rear-mounted battery and standard Magnetic Selective Ride Control. The standard 19-inch front and 20-inch rear wheels are wrapped in performance black sidewall tires.

The weight reduction brings the 427 Convertible’s curb weight to 3,355 pounds. Combined with its 505-horsepower LS7 engine, it gives the 427 Convertible a power-to-weight ratio of 6.64, or one horsepower for every 6.64 pounds of vehicle mass.

It has been meticulously kept and serviced and is in like new condition with very low milage.
