Chevrolet has offered a factory Corvette Z06 convertible since 2015. However, when the Z06 moniker was revived with the C5 generation, it was only available as a fixed roof coupe. What’s an open-air loving motorist to do? Well here is a genuine 2003 Corvette Z06 that has been transformed into a convertible. The result is a 405 hp performance car that will draw more double takes than anything from the era.
As you may know, the C5 platform was designed from the ground-up as a convertible with its hydroformed rails and other advancements. As such, the factory Z06 roof is simply held to the body with adhesive and is not a significant structural component. This makes for a practical convertible conversion using OEM parts. Of course, this departs from the track-focused nature of the Z06 hardtop, as it results in more weight and reduced aerodynamics. But unless you are concerned about losing 3mph going into turn 12 at Road America, this is hardly an issue.
This car shows 59k miles and is a factory black car. Again, this is a genuine Z06 as evidenced by the VIN and SPI label; while some people might add Z06 badges and quarter panel intakes to a regular convertible, this one is the real deal! The black convertible top is easy to use and works just like any other C5 convertible with the same fitment. The chrome wheels are in perfect condition and wear brand new Continental Extreme Contact tires measuring 255/40ZR17 in front and 295/35ZR18 in back.
For 2003 the factory 5.7L LS6 engine carried ratings of 405 hp and 400 ft-lb of torque. Everything remains stock with the exception of the Borla exhaust tips. Note all emissions equipment remains in place as well. The 6-speed transmission is very smooth and feeds the original 3.42 limited slip rear end. Recent service includes an oil change, new serpentine belts, and a coolant flush. It also has a new battery and new front brake pads / rotors.
The black leather interior is highlighted by the black leather buckets with Z06 emblems on the headrests. They are especially prominent with the top down which really throws people off! The gauges also have special Z06 badging and feature a 6500rpm tachometer redline. Everything works properly including the head-up display. There is also dual zone HVAC which is another standard item on the Z06. Aftermarket Z06 floor mats are present as well.
The C5 Z06 remains a remarkable car and a good performance value. It offers a great combination of looks, performance, and reliability. But while a “regular” Z06 is fairly easy to find, this convertible version is a different story. It’s a rare find that any automotive enthusiast can appreciate. Just be prepared to answer a lot of questions wherever you go.
