2016 Chevrolet Corvette 3LT Convertible

Description

When looking to collect the last of the front-engine Corvettes you are going to have some big desires on your checklist. You'll want a loaded 3LT trim level, a unique color combo, exceptional care, and good documentation. This 2016 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray convertible has all of that and more. In fact, this one-owner and low-mileage example really delivers the best of everything.

The Stingray name brings up the image of something aggressive and sleek, and the factory Night Race Blue Metallic paint takes that slippery and intimidating feeling to a whole new level. It has a modern sleekness that shows off the clean lines and little use you get from a car with less than 8,500 miles on the odometer. It's such a deep yet radiant blue that it will remind you of starry nights far away from any big city lights. There are even curb view cameras so you can really see every important angle when you return to park in the urban jungle. This unique color is also a terrific way to complement the well-coordinated dark details. The black seems to harmonize with the blacked-out grille, hood insert, fender vent, headlight panel, tail light panel, ducktail spoiler, and racing-style rear valance. It's absolutely dark, sporty, and intimidating. But there's more going on here. All that darkness helps bring added attention to the bright and distinct factory alloys. And the Kalahari tan roof is the kind of sophisticated contrast we'd expect to see on a European sports car from style leaders like Jaguar and Porsche. So you get a terrific overall look of power and sophistication.

Because we like the look of Kalahari and darkness so much, it's awesome to see there's a black and tan interior. And while you'll love taking the power top down everywhere you go, the way the inside still looks factory fresh, we doubt the careful single-owner left this out in the sunshine for very long. The pricy and premium 3LT package means you get a loaded Corvette that has all the best in modern conveniences. It includes a head-up display, power windows, power locks, keyless entry/ignition, dual airbags, side airbags, cruise control, and power leather bucket seats that are heated and cooled. The touchscreen infotainment system is filled with options, so it includes satellite navigation, Bluetooth, satellite radio, a backup camera, and a premium Bose surround audio system. In fact, the modern dual-zone climate control means you and your passenger can keep an individual level of cool even with the top down. Best of all, as a true driver's car, you get a grippy sports setting wheel with all the essential buttons and switches, including paddle shifters. And Chevrolet was particularly genius about the gauges where you have permanent analog readouts for the essential and a large programmable screen at the center.

But it's what's under the hood that should get you really excited. The engine bay is packed with 6.2 liters of V8 power, and it looks just as carefully maintained as the rest of the car. A later C7 means you had the option of the eight-speed automatic transmission. So you get to choose if you want to have an easy grand touring machine or take control with the lightning-quick paddle shifters to really open up the back roads. Plus, the fully independent suspension, four-wheel power disc brakes, and speed-sensitive power steering make this the collectible that you won't be able to resist driving.

The sale comes complete with the original window sticker, factory buildsheet, owner's manual packet, car cover, and more. The C7 was the last of the front-engine Corvette, and as that becomes more appreciated by collectors, a loaded and preserved example like this will continue to stand out even more. So get your hand on it now before it's out of reach. Call today!!!
