OVERVIEW

This 2009 Chevrolet Corvette convertible was assembled by Classic Reflections Coachworks (CRC) and combines C6 Corvette underpinnings with a C2-style body rendered in carbon fiber. It has been driven 13,916 miles since new and is powered by a 6.2-liter LS3 V8 paired with a six-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters.

Finished in metallic silver, black, and white with a black cloth top over a black and gray leather interior, this custom Corvette is now offered by the selling dealer with a 2008 Corvette owner's manual, a letter and appraisal value from Ron Hornig of Retro Vette LLC (formerly CRC), CRC promotional materials, and a Colorado title.

EXTERIOR – FEATURES

This Corvette convertible was built in 2009 by Classic Reflections Coachworks with bodywork styled after the 1962 Corvette and donor running gear from a wrecked, low-mileage 2008 Corvette. It has been garage-kept since that time and features a tri-tone metallic silver, black, and white carbon fiber composite body capped off with a black cloth manually-retractable top. Features include quad headlights, chrome brightwork, contrasting side coves, a center high-mounted brake lamp, and quad polished exhaust outlets. The car retains its 2008-era crash protection equipment both inside and out.

EXTERIOR – WHEELS AND TIRES

Chrome C6 Corvette Z06-style Ronal wheels are wrapped in Michelin tires.

INTERIOR – FEATURES

The two-seat cockpit is fitted with two-tone black and gray leather power-adjustable bucket seats with CRC-embroidered backrests, matched to the door panels, dash, center console, carpeting, and embroidered floor mats. Amenities include carbon fiber trim, navigation, dual-zone automatic climate control, XM radio, power windows, power door locks, and cruise control.

INTERIOR – GAUGES

Instrumentation includes a 200-mph speedometer, a 7,500-rpm tachometer, and supplementary gauges. The digital odometer currently reads 13,916 miles.

ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION

The LS3 6.2-liter V8 and accompanying drivetrain equipment came from a donor 2008 C6 Corvette and were transferred to a new frame at the time of the build. Factory ratings for this engine were 430 horsepower and 424 lb-ft of torque. Recent service includes a Mobil 1 synthetic oil change, the installation of a new battery, and a full inspection within the past year. Power is transferred to the rear wheels via a console-shifted six-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters. According to the selling dealer, this car recently passed an emissions test.

UNDERCARRIAGE

Stopping power comes from four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes.
