BaT Auction: 13k-Mile 2009 Chevrolet Corvette Z06

This 2009 Corvette Z06 was registered in California from new and acquired by the seller in February 2020. The car is finished in Jetstream Blue over Ebony leather. Power comes from a 7.0-liter V8 paired with a six-speed manual transmission, and additional equipment includes a limited-slip differential, a Bose sound system, heated seats, xenon headlights, and staggered 18″ and 19″ wheels. Modifications consist of American Heritage Performance cylinder heads, Doug Rippie Motorsports re-valved Bilstein shocks, as well as a modified exhaust system including an RPI Designs exhaust controller. This Corvette Z06 now has 13k miles and is offered with a window sticker, manufacturer’s literature, service records, a car cover, two remote key fobs, a clean Carfax report, and a clean California title in the seller’s name.

The Z06 features a hydroformed aluminum chassis paired with composite and carbon-fiber bodywork. This example is finished in Jetstream Blue Metallic and is equipped with a full-width rear spoiler, xenon headlights, integrated fog lights, and quad exhaust outlets.

Matte black-finished 18″ front and 19″ forged wheels are mounted with Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires measuring 285/35 and 345/30, respectively. Braking is handled by red-finished six-piston front and four-piston rear calipers over cross-drilled rotors. The seller notes that the factory shocks have been replaced with Bilstein units featuring valving modified by Doug Rippie Motorsports.

The cabin features heated bucket seats trimmed in Ebony leather with a matching dashboard, carpets, and door panels. Amenities include a head-up display, dual-zone climate control, cruise control, and a premium Bose sound system with a six-disc CD changer in the dash.

The three-spoke multifunction steering wheel frames a 200-mph speedometer, a Z06-branded tachometer with a 7k-rpm redline, and auxiliary gauges. The digital odometer shows 13k miles, approximately 1k of which were added by the seller.

The 7.0-liter LS7 V8 engine was modified in May 2015 with installation of American Heritage Performance Stage 4 cylinder heads which feature Ferrea hollow stainless-steal valves, Viton valve seals, and Brian Tooley Racing dual valve springs with titanium retainers. The seller reports that the oil was changed approximately 1k miles ago and a replacement battery was installed in preparation for the sale.

Power is routed to the rear wheels through a rear-mounted six-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. The car features an RPI Designs Mild2Wild exhaust controller, and the seller reports that the mufflers have been modified.

The window sticker shows initial delivery to Les Stanford Chevrolet in Dearborn, Michigan, colors, equipment, and a total price of $78,945. Manufacturer’s literature and a selection of maintenance and modification receipts are also included in the sale.

The Carfax report shows no accidents or other damage and lists history with two owners in California.
