2004 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Commemorative Edition

Description

2004 was a big year for the Corvette. Not only was the C5 ending a triumphant seven-year run as the car that brought this icon back to life, but also the 'Vette had back-to-back victories at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. There was a limited run of Commemorative Edition cars to celebrate all of these accomplishments, and Corvette people know the Z06 version is the rarest and has exclusive features that make it the most desirable. So to find a 2004 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Commemorative Edition coupe that's a low-mileage example means you've found an instant collectible.

There is only one way to get a C5 in this beautiful code 19L LeMans Blue Metallic. It was part of the 2004 Commemorative Edition (Z16), and only 2,025 examples of Z06 coupes ever received this treatment. That's why we are so happy to see the car looking so complete and correct. This has averaged about 3k miles annually. So it tells you this one has been enjoyed for not much more than special drives. In fact, the factory paint has even been ceramic coated and protective film has been added to strategic places. So it maximizes the radiance and minimizes the signs of it hitting the road. While you're looking over the car, don't forget to check out the special details. The Z06 polished wheels have a special center cap for the Commemorative Edition. There's a special badge on the hood that reminds everyone of the C5's dominance at the 24 Hours of LeMans. In fact, take some extra time looking at the hood, because it shows off an exclusive feature that will really let these cars hold their value. The Z06 was made with the lighter fixed roof coupe (FRC) body style. But the Commemorative Edition Z06s had their hoods done in lightweight carbon fiber. They were the only ones to do it, and so they show it off with an exclusive silver and red stripe package that features the carbon fiber weave as the dividing line.

Inside is exactly what you expect from a special Corvette - a loaded interior that's comfortable for two. Lower mileage means the full dark presentation remains looking clean and comfortable. There's even newer padding in the seats. You'll never get tired of watching the gauges do their dance every time you start the engine. But don't forget, there's a head-up display so you never have to take your eyes off the road during performance driving. But more than just track-focused, this car offers plenty of luxuries, such as dual-zone climate control, power windows, power locks, keyless entry, power mirrors, power seats, cruise control, dual airbags, ABS, and the trunk is large enough for a week's worth of luggage. You'll notice a few nice upgrades, like the shifter knob and a Kenwood touchscreen stereo that runs the backup camera and Bluetooth. It makes for an even better driver, but you'll also be happy to know the stock pieces come with the sale.

The red engine covers are the unmistakable look of the LS6 motor. Chevrolet had these specially constructed to handle the big power they got out of this 5.7-liter fuel-injected V8. It has a clean presentation, but always keeps the style of a car you're going to want to drive. After all, the point of loving a Z06 is being about to occasionally release the 405-horsepower juggernaut. And you have complete control over all the power and thunder the V8 brings thanks to the six-speed manual transmission. As a true competition machine, the Z06 also received its own suspension upgrade package to make the fully independent suspension perform at its best during high speeds. Keeping everything in control is also the rack & pinion power steering, a large four-wheel power disc brake package, and new Continental ExtremeContact performance tires added around 2k miles ago.

The sale comes complete with the owner's manual, a reproduction buildsheet, a reproduction window sticker, the factory air intake, and more. Corvettes that are this collectible and this powerful are rarely this obtainable. So hurry up before the market doubles the price. Call today!!!
