2022 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray IMSA GTLM Championship Edition Convertible
About this vehicle
Corvette Racing's 2020 IMSA GTLM title needed a proper send-off, and the 2022 Stingray IMSA GTLM Championship Edition is that send-off. Only 1,000 left-hand-drive examples were built, each one mandatorily configured on the 3LT trim with the Z51 Performance Package included — a direct nod to the C8.R race program. This convertible wears Hypersonic Gray Metallic, which within the edition calls for yellow accent graphics tied to the No. 4 C8.R entry. Originally delivered through North Shore Chevrolet of Smithtown in Saint James, New York, it now shows approximately 1,557 miles.
The Edge Yellow full-length dual racing stripe package runs the length of the car, pulling the livery straight off the No. 4 race car. Beyond the graphics, edition-specific hardware covers a lot of ground: a high-wing Carbon Flash spoiler, Carbon Flash exterior mirrors and nacelles, the Carbon Flash Ground Effects package, and yellow brake calipers sitting behind black-painted Trident-spoke aluminum wheels — 19 inches up front, 20 at the rear — with Jake-logo center caps and black lug nuts. The Z51 package dictates Michelin Pilot Sport 4S summer tires sized 245/35ZR19 front and 305/30ZR20 rear. A power-retractable body-color hardtop is fitted. Both interior and exterior are described by the seller as being in as-new condition, and a clean CARFAX accompanies the car.
Inside, Strike Yellow and Sky Cool Gray carry the C8.R livery theme throughout the cabin — a cohesive choice, not cosmetic window dressing. The 8-way power-adjustable GT2 bucket seats wear the same color scheme, joined by a custom leather-wrapped interior package and sueded microfiber covering the upper cabin and steering wheel. Heated and ventilated seats, a heated steering wheel, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a 14-speaker Bose Performance Series audio system handle comfort. Tech includes a head-up display, rear camera mirror, Chevrolet Infotainment 3 Premium with navigation, wireless Apple CarPlay, and a 12-inch driver display. A numbered C8.R Special Edition plaque is affixed inside. The seller calls it concours-caliber — the one caveat being that it's never actually been shown.
Flip the rear lid and there's the 6.2-liter LT2 V8, factory-rated at 495 hp at 6,450 rpm and 470 lb-ft of torque, those figures coming with the Z51 Performance Package's performance exhaust fitted. Power routes rearward through an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic — the only gearbox offered on the C8 Stingray. Z51 hardware beyond the exhaust covers performance brakes (J55), performance suspension (FE3), electronic limited-slip differential (G96), performance-ratio rear axle (GM7), and a heavy-duty cooling system. No service has been performed, which lines up with the mileage.
Included with the sale: a clean title, owner's manuals, window sticker, and the edition-specific custom indoor car cover.
