2006 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible RWD

2006 N2A Motors 789 S/R †Serial Number 001. Auto Show Promotional Car with LS2 V8 and Corvette C6 Platform. Why This Car Is Special The 2006 N2A Motors 789 is one of the most unusual cars you will ever find offered for sale. N2A Motors, based in California, built the 789 as a neoclassic convertible that fused late-1950s American styling cues with the proven mechanical platform of the sixth-generation Corvette. The name 789 references the model years 1957, 1958, and 1959 †the three years of American automotive design that most influenced the car's appearance. The result is a body that reads as a long, low two-seat roadster with tailfins, period-correct round headlamps, a chrome bumper, and torpedo-style taillights pulled directly from the fins-and-chrome era, all mounted over a modern C6 Corvette chassis. What you are looking at here is not just any 789. The brushed aluminum plaque mounted to the engine cover reads '789 S/R †N2A Motors †Number 001.' This is the first 789 S/R ever built. The S/R designation indicates the specific sub-variant of the model. As an auto show promotional car, this vehicle was built to represent the N2A Motors brand publicly †it was not a pre-production prototype but a finished, running, driving vehicle used to generate orders and demonstrate what the company could deliver. That distinction matters to collectors. Auto show cars built by low-volume manufacturers to this standard are rarely offered publicly, and the first serial number of any limited production run carries a different category of documentation and provenance than a mid-run example. N2A Motors produced the 789 in very small numbers. These were not mass-production vehicles. Each car was built to order on a C6 Corvette platform, meaning the drivetrain, chassis dynamics, electronics, and structural integrity all trace directly back to one of the best sports car platforms General Motors ever engineered. The C6 Corvette carried a front-mid-engine layout with a rear-mounted transaxle for near-ideal 50/50 weight distribution, a hydroformed steel frame, and independent suspension at all four corners. N2A purchased the running platforms and fitted their custom carbon composite bodies and bespoke interiors to produce the 789. The VIN on this car decodes to a 2006 model year, confirming it as an early-production 789 built during the model's introduction period. The body style code in the VIN identifies it as a convertible, consistent with the power soft top and glass rear window fitted to this car.

In Corvette trim, that engine produced 400 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque from the factory. It is an all-aluminum small-block built on the Gen IV architecture, featuring cathedral-port cylinder heads, a composite intake manifold, and coil-near-plug ignition. The LS2 is one of the most well-supported V8 engines in modern American automotive history, with a deep aftermarket and a long track record of reliability. Backing it here is a 4-speed automatic transmission, which in C6 Corvette applications is the 4L65-E, a unit well-suited to relaxed op
