The 1969 Corvette 427/435 horsepower tri-power convertible is finished in Ermine White with a beautiful blue interior. Early 427-powered Corvettes offered from 1966 to 1969, particularly convertibles, are some of the most-coveted and collectible ever produced. The four-year run of the 427 Corvette was established as the golden era of performance. Some of the features of the 1969 Corvette include a soft top, side pipes, AM/FM stereo radio, red line tires, rally wheels, 4-speed manual transmission and a posi-traction rear end. Adding to the desirability of this highly sought after roadster is the signature of legendary Corvette racer Ron Fellows on the engine.

The 2013 Corvette 427 convertible is the first Corvette 427 convertible produced by General Motors since 1969. This limited edition Corvette is finished in Arctic White with a Diamond Blue interior, and comes fully loaded with a carbon fiber package and leather seats. The already powerful engine was upgraded by Lingenfelter Performance Engineering to produce an incredible 615 ground-pounding horsepower. This Corvette pulls elements from both the Z06 and ZR1 into the convertible body including a ZR1 rear spoiler, and carbon fiber raised hood, floor panels, and fenders. Features like standard magnetic selective ride control, optimized suspension, and launch control help create greater handling for the driver. This is the highest performing Corvette convertible in 60 years. Some of its creature comforts include a padded center console and armrests, large bolsters on the seatback, wheel-mounted controls, heads-up display, and keyless access entry with push button start. Just like the classic, this Corvette sports the signature of racing legend Ron Fellows.
