The seventh-generation (C7) Corvette will go down as one in history, being the last of the front-engined brigade for America’s sweetheart sports car. In fact, the C7 was to lead the mid-engined era, but alas, it wasn’t meant to be until the C8. That makes this 2014 Chevrolet Corvette 3LT Coupe all the more special, as it marks the end of an era, and with just 25,300 miles on the odometer, it’s ready for a lifetime of adventures with its new owner.

Exterior and Interior

Corvettes are typically colored in bright shades of yellow, blue, or red, or wear subtle black, silver, or white coats. This 2014 Chevrolet Corvette 3LT Coupe breaks away from either camp with a Lime Rock Green Metallic paint job that makes the car look sublime. It rolls on 2016 OEM Corvette wheels with black machined aluminum faces, and the OEM 2014 wheels are also included in the sale. Dark gray OEM custom brake calipers are visible behind the wheels. The Carbon Flash badge package has been specified as well. Ensuring that this beautiful paintwork is protected, the car has recently been ceramic coated. The roof panel is a transparent removable Targa top, granting open-top motoring when you desire it, coupled with the security and torsional rigidity of a traditional coupe. The Kalahari interior is a perfect match to the green exterior, and offers accommodation for two occupants on electrically adjustable leather seats with heating, ventilation, and powered bolsters. It’s also got the 3LT Preferred Equipment Package, Memory Package, heads-up display, dual-zone climate control, touchscreen infotainment system and Bose premium audio with surround sound. As a proper three-pedal manual transmission equipped car, you might wonder why there are paddles behind the steering wheel, and these are for actuating the rev-matching function. The instrument cluster features a mix of digital and analog, with analog gauges for speed, fuel and coolant temperature flanking a central digital screen that typically shows the rev counter. Yes, cruise control is on board as well, for when you need to maintain the speed limit on long highway drives.

Engine

This 2014 Chevrolet Corvette 3LT Coupe is powered by a 6.2L LT1 V8 that develops 455hp and 460lb-ft, and sings better through the NPP multi-mode exhaust. Drive is sent to the rear wheels via a Tremec TR6070 seven-speed manual transmission. The headline figures are less than four seconds from rest to sixty, and it can breach 190mph if you’re brave enough.
