Chevrolet has announced a limited edition of its C6 Corvette: the 2008 Corvette 427 Limited Edition Z06. The limited edition Z06 is intended to commemorate the big-block 427 Corvettes of the 1960s and also pays tribute to the current Z06′s displacement.
All 427 Limited Edition Z06s will be painted Crystal Red with graphics on the hood and fascia to mimic the design of the “stinger” package offered on the 427-powered 1967 Corvette. The hood will also feature unique “427″ badging.
The 427 package will also include unique chrome wheels, a body-colored rear spoiler and door handles, a dark titanium leather interior and a center arm rest signed by Wil Cooksey, the Corvette assembly plant manager who is retiring after 15 years.
Chevrolet will produce 427 example of the special edition Corvette for the North American market, with 78 being built for other markets — totaling 505, the same figure as the car’s horsepower.
Prices for the 427 Limited Edition Z06 will start at $84,195, with the only option being a $1,750 navigation system.
