2005 Convertible

The C6 debuted in the 2004 Detroit Auto Show.  Later, the convertible was announced in Geneva.  The C6 is not a radical departure from the C5.  The frame, chassis and many other components were upgrades based on the C5 platform.  Externally, one of the biggest changes is the exposed headlights, ending a tradition that started back in 1963.  The C5 was most likely the last production car in the world to use hidden headlights.  The engine is the new LS-2, a 6.0 liter small block from the Gen-III family of engines.  It produces 400 HP and 400 lbs/ft of torque. 

The model

Michael Wheeler submitted these pictures of his C6 convertible. The body was painted with Tamiya mica red, cleared, and then polished with KIT Scratch Out and Black Magic wax. The interior was carpeted and given scratch built floormats.  Other modifications include adding brakes as well as side mirror faces and a rearview mirror from the glue kit.
