One Owner. One Story. 45,683 Miles.
Purchased new in 2006, this Le Mans Blue C6 Corvette has remained with its original owner from day one. All 45,683 miles were personally driven by the owner, and the car is accompanied by its factory build sheet, original keys, owner’s documentation, and maintenance records. It is a clean-title, accident-free example with a fully accounted-for history.
Le Mans Blue + Z51 + 6-Speed Manual
The combination that made this Corvette so desirable when new remains one of its most compelling attributes today. Finished in Le Mans Blue and equipped with the Z51 Performance Package and 6-speed manual transmission, this C6 offers the engaging driving experience enthusiasts seek. Equally comfortable on a winding road or cruising the highway, it delivers the performance and balance that have made the C6 Corvette a modern classic.
Driven, Enjoyed, and Carefully Preserved
This is not a Corvette that spent its entire life sitting under a cover. During its early years, it served as the owner’s daily driver in Southern California before becoming a fair-weather car following a move to the East Coast. It has never been driven in snow or on salted roads and is now driven sparingly.
The original Le Mans Blue paint and interior remain, and the Corvette presents as a well-cared-for, largely original example. The original wheels and exhaust are retained.
Enthusiast-Owned with Thoughtful Upgrades
While remaining true to its original character, several tasteful upgrades were made to enhance the driving experience. These include an MGW short-throw shifter, a Pratt & Miller Racing steering wheel, and stainless-steel brake lines, complementing the Z51 package without fundamentally altering the car.
The Corvette will also be accompanied by a set of Apex dark-gray wheels in a square configuration, fitted with Continental ExtremeContact Force summer tires.
A Corvette with a Family History
Corvettes have been part of the owner’s family for as long as he can remember. In fact, he was brought home from the hospital in his family’s red 1965 Corvette convertible.
When the time came to purchase his own Corvette, both he and his father were drawn to the C6, and the Le Mans Blue Z51 was the car he knew he wanted.
One of his favorite memories with this Corvette was picking it up new at the National Corvette Museum with his father and driving it across the country to Santa Monica, California, following Route 50—the “Loneliest Road in America.”
His father passed away several years ago, and he has since become the caretaker of his father’s 1965 Nassau Blue Corvette convertible. With limited garage space, the difficult decision was made to part with this C6 after nearly two decades of ownership.
After 20 years, this Corvette remains a car that brings a smile to its owner’s face every time he gets behind the wheel. It is now offered to its next caretaker with an exceptional history, meaningful family connection, desirable C6 specifications, and thoughtful preservation.
