2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Z51: A Manual-Trans C7 With a Warranty-Replaced LT1The C7-generation Chevrolet Corvette Stingray marked a dramatic leap forward for America's sports car when it arrived for 2014, pairing an all-aluminum chassis with a direct-injected 6.2-liter LT1 V8 and a cabin that finally felt worthy of the price tag. Buyers who wanted the sharpest version of that formula could add the Z51 Performance Package, which brought a dry-sump oiling system, an electronic limited-slip differential, upgraded cooling, and a dual-mode exhaust that gives the LT1 real voice.This example, finished in Torch Red over a Kalahari leather interior, is currently up for bid on Hagerty Marketplace and combines the Z51 package with the 3LT trim and a seven-speed manual gearbox featuring Active Rev Matching, a combination that is becoming harder to find as more buyers gravitate toward paddle shifters. A CARFAX report included with the listing shows the original engine and clutch were replaced under warranty at a Chevrolet dealership in 2020, and the seller has since kept up with fluid changes, a new battery, and cryogenically treated OEM brake rotors up front.Cosmetic touches include XPEL paint protection film, gloss-black powder-coated factory wheels, and a set of Z06-style aerodynamic pieces, while the two included roof panels, one solid and one transparent, let the car switch between grand tourer and open-air cruiser in a few minutes. With 42,700 miles indicated and a clean Texas title, this Stingray pairs everyday usability with the increasingly rare manual drivetrain enthusiasts are chasing.AdvertisementAdvertisementBidding is live now, with the auction closing on July 22.
