Chassis
Body
The C6 Generation of Corvette came into showrooms with much excitement and anticipation! The newly sculpted lightweight body had many advantages over its earlier predecessor. Not only did it weigh slightly less, but it also possessed the most aerodynamically efficient body design than any Corvette before it! These terrific Corvettes were produced from 2005 thru 2013 offering more interior storage, and for the first time since 1962, an optional power operated convertible top! Considering it had an all-new chassis underneath with more engine power and torque, along with improved visibility for the driver, they make for a superbly nimble sportscar platform for your money today!
Offered here is a 2012 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport 3LT Convertible finished in gorgeous 70U- Torch Red over 193- Ebony Black Leather! Options on this vehicle include 6-speed manual transmission, dual zone climate control; touch screen infotainment system with OnStar, XM Satellite radio, DVD navigation, Bluetooth, and Bose Premium audio system; chrome plated wheels, red brakes calipers, Heads-up windshield display; dual 6-way power heated seats, power windows/locks, keyless entry with pushbutton start, cruise control, tilt steering column, HID headlamps, tire pressure monitoring system, ABS brakes, traction control, fog lamps, and more!
Also referred as the Z16 Performance Package, these autocross-ready Corvette Grand Sport variants gained a naturally aspirated LS3 V8 engine producing 430 horsepower and 424 lb. ft. of torque; wider Z06 style front & rear fenders to allow for larger, lightweight forged aluminum wheels measuring 18x9.5” & 19x12” front/rear respectively with Z06 6-piston front/4-piston rear brake calipers with cross-drilled rotors, and Z06 brake air ducts for extra cooling. The suspension received stiffer springs & sway bars along with performance shock absorbers. The manual transmission received special internal gearing, a short-throw shifter, and 3.42 limited-slip rear gear ratio! This package transforms the standard C6 Corvette into a peak performer ready to skillfully enhance your sportscar driving skill! Our Grand Sport Convertible represents one of 2,268 examples produced for the 2012 model year.
This unit comes from local ownership here in our St. Louis region where it sold new from ELCO Chevrolet based in Ballwin, MO on October 10th, 2012, and has traded hands only 2 times since. Today, the odometer reads just 26,886 miles and continues to appear near showroom new throughout! It has always been serviced at proper maintenance intervals by Chevrolet dealerships with all four tires replaced in May 2016 with Goodyear Eagle F1 tires at 23,091 miles. The most recent owner who has cared for the car since June 2018 had the air conditioning compressor replaced along with fresh gaskets and belt in May 2020. It will come with original owner's manuals, clean damage free CarFax report, recent service records, navigation DVD, 2 key fobs, carpeted floor mats, and upgraded Weather Tech floor liners. Act quickly Grand Sport fans, as they do not appear on the market this clean, unmodified, and unabused very often! Thanks for looking!
