For Corvette collectors, the C7.R Edition has always lived in rare air — a 500-unit tribute to Corvette Racing’s 2015 Le Mans class win, wrapped in either Corvette Racing Yellow or Black. Now, one of those 500 cars has surfaced on Craigslist out of Yakima, Washington.

This example, finished in Black and showing just 20,853 miles, is one of 207 coupes built and one of only 140 equipped with the 8-speed automatic. It carries the mandatory 3LZ package, the Z07 Performance Package, and the full C7.R graphics and appearance package — a $23,055 option on top of the Z06’s already lofty $111,400 MSRP.

When Chevrolet unveiled the C7.R Edition at Bloomington Gold in 2015, Corvette marketing manager Harlan Charles made it clear the car was meant to bridge the gap between the street and the race program.

“Corvette Racing’s legacy and technology were significant influences on the development of the Corvette Z06,” Charles said at the time. “The C7.R Edition honors the direct link between the race car and the production model.”

This car leans fully into that mission. The dealer lists a long roster of C7.R specific equipment:

• Brembo carbon ceramic brakes
• Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires
• Black wheels with yellow accent rings
• Corvette Racing center caps
• Visible carbon fiber ground effects
• New visible carbon fiber hood insert
• Spectra Gray grilles and vents
• Jet Black leather with sueded microfiber accents
• Yellow contrast stitching
• Competition Sport seats
• C7.R numbered interior plaque
• Corvette Racing sill plates
• C7.R indoor car cover
• Performance Data Recorder

In short: everything that made the C7.R Edition – a tribute to Corvette Racing’s class victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2015 – into one of the most desirable special edition Corvettes of the modern era.

Under the hood sits the legendary 6.2 liter supercharged LT4, good for 650 horsepower and 650 lb ft of torque — the same heart that powered the Z06 to supercar level performance throughout the C7 generation.

The dealer is asking $89,995, a figure that reflects both the rarity and the condition of the car. With a clean Carfax history, no accidents, and all the C7.R specific equipment intact, it’s positioned squarely in collector territory.

Special edition Corvettes tend to age well, and the C7.R Edition has already carved out its place as one of the most distinctive modern Z06s. For someone who missed their chance in 2016 — or someone who wants a Z06 with a direct line to Corvette Racing’s golden era — this one may be worth a close look.
