A Longstanding Champion In-Line for Collegiate Change: First 2023 Z06 Off the Line to Be Auctioned For Charity



The 2023 Corvette Z06 has now been officially announced as ready to be released soon for high-level excitement on the scene, and will be offering up high-octane thrills for the diehard fans right here at Chuck Hutton of Memphis as a brand-new next-level performance option in the mid-engine Chevy Corvette lineup. The very first retail production 2023 Corvette Z06 will be auctioned off for charity, as it is set to triumphantly cross the block at the 2022 Barrett-Jackson Palm Beach Auction at the beautiful and sunny South Florida Fairgrounds.

Proceeds will go to benefit the Thurgood Marshall College Fund, which is the nation’s longstanding and largest organization exclusively representing historically black colleges and universities. Preserving predominantly black institutions while sourcing one of America’s finest and most furious cars on the track, the vehicle in question will be the top 3LZ trim level, with the successful bidder offered the opportunity to customize the very first retail production 2023 Corvette Z06 Convertible however they wish. Multiple interior options, colors, wheels, and more are among the many ways you can make this ferocious and speed-ready contender a fixture of their own style.

This is also the very first time that a Z06 Convertible featured a hard-top retractable roof, and it is also equipped with the naturally aspirated 5.5-Liter V8 LT6 gasoline engine. This pushes the envelope delightfully hard and full-spirited, as its addition makes for the vehicle being rated at 670 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque, with a limit-pushing 8,600-rpm redline as another added benefit. The 2023 Corvette Z06 rides on the same Y2 platform as the C8 Stingray, while production takes place amongst the hard-working men and women at the GM Bowling Green plant in Kentucky.



Earlier this year, the very first retail production 2023 Corvette Coupe was auctioned off at a Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale event, with Rick Hendrick placing the winning bid at a startling $3.6 million. All the proceeds from the auction went to benefit the great individuals from the non-profit Operation Homefront, which helps to support military families who have special needs. We have always had a great amount of love for these initial auctions that do so much to engage the community and lend helping hands to different arenas of important history that are desperate for well-thought through preservation.

The 2023 Corvette Z06 Review at hand even made TV superstar Jay Leno immediately nostalgic for his 1963 Corvette and 1999 Corvette C5, and he was immediately in love with the cockpit’s vertical column of switches and buttons that were designed with space-saving in mind. The second-generation Corvette was the first to carry the prized Z06 badge, and it was back in 1963 that the radio was first mounted vertically. Two strengths made the Z06 possible: American engineering, and American manufacturing: we are proud that this amazing model’s finished product’s first release will be used for the greater good of the people that continuously backed it and made it possible in the first place!
