2007 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Ron Fellows Edition

Description

This 2007 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Ron Fellows Edition has been a collector car from day one, and it has been kept that way, right down to the awesome paperwork. It has less than 1,600 miles on such a pristinely preserved example, and there's even Ron Fellow's signature inside. So your biggest problem will be resisting having some track day fun in this time capsule. After all, with the 505 horsepower V8, six-speed manual, and race-inspired components, it just begs to be let out for some high-performance fun.

Ron Fellows is a true North American racing champion, and he absolutely deserves a C6 commemorating his victories in the C6R. And it's only fitting that Chevrolet used the ultra-hot Z06 for the special edition. These really look like a race car with a wider stance and plenty of functional scoops to cool the motor and brakes. So when you combine speed with rarity (this is #107 of 399 ever made,) it's the kind of car you want to preserve. So if you missed out on one of the few when they were new, this is truly the next best thing. Some people commute longer in a day than this one has averaged per year, and so this was a coupe that basically only came out of the garage to be shown. That's why the Artic White paint has the crisp look of a finely-pressed shirt. And not only did these special edition cars share the same color, but they also got terrific features, like the upgraded polished Z06 wheels and exclusive the full-width rear spoiler. Those who know Corvette will also love looking at the special GS-inspired fender stripes with maple leaf embedded within the pattern as a subtle tribute to Ron's Canadian heritage.

The Ron Fellows Edition also means and awesome red and black interior with all the best features. It looks especially nice on the supple leather sculpted sport seats. You know from the mileage that there has almost no time to make any marks on the carpet, door panels, or dash. In fact, most of pieces are still in their factory protective plastics! So this is a premium driving machine that feels factory-fresh on the inside. The driver gets full Z06 branded instrumentation with backlit dials, a grippy leather-wrapped steering wheel, and heads-up display. The Z06 already had plenty of options, plus this one had a few extra to get a truly loaded coupe. The full package includes features such as dual zone climate control, heated seats, power seats, power windows, power locks, keyless entry & ignition, speed-sensitive power steering, and an AM/FM/CD/XM Bose stereo with sat nav infotainment display and Bluetooth. A modern classic also means modern safety features such as dual front airbags, side airbags, and ABS. And of course, just to make sure that you know this is truly an individual machine, Ron Fellows signed the inner center console with the car's individual number.

The core of the special Z06 package its original all-aluminum 427 cubic inch V8. The LS7 motor is a collectable all on its own, because it returned Corvettes to the iconic displacement while bringing it into the modern fuel-injected era. So it's especially nice to have the numbers-matching motor in this special edition car looking so factory fresh. With 505 horsepower on tap, it truly lives up to the heritage put forward by this limited production race car tribute. It fires up and idles like any good modern machine should, but that special Z06 exhaust system really lets you know this one want to play. It's mated to a six-speed gearbox that gives you full control all the way to the 7000 RPM redline. The body and chassis shaved precious pounds by substituting lighter materials than the base Corvette, and components like the transmission and differential have their own coolers for track use. Massive brakes with bright red six-piston calipers up front and four-piston units out back will put up with all the punishment you can dish out. Plus, this is all part of a package with an adaptive fully independent suspension topped off with Goodyear Eagle F1 performance tires. So yes, you'll probably be putting some extra miles on this one even as a collectable.

The Corvette Z06 Ron Fellows Edition has been a classic since day one, and this example has been pampered all its life to reflect the growing legend. You even get the letter of authenticity, original window sticker, warranty card, bill of sale, dealer invoice, factory buildsheet, service manuals, maintenance records, owner's manual, memorabilia, and more to keep as the appreciation continues to mature.
