C6...Done

[Hib Halverson]

The last C6 was built yesterday, 28 Feb. The last car down the line at BG Assembly was a 427 Convertible. The engine in it had been built at the PBC by Chief Engineer, Tadge Juechter.

The sixth gen had a great run...215,100 of them built.

The best of them had 427s.

While C7 will take Corvette in intriguing new directions, there never will be another powertrain in a Corvette like that with an 7-liter LS7 engine.

To "bookend" the C6 discussion, here, read the series of articles the CAC produced in late 2004 and early 2005 right as the car went on sale.
