The Wil Cooksey Edition only had 505 produced. 427 of them were sold in the US and 78 were sold overseas. Very Rare Z06!

Wil Cooksey-the man and the legacy: Wil Cooksey wasn’t some marketing figurehead — he was a real Corvette engineer and leader. For years he sat in top roles within Chevrolet’s Corvette program, ultimately serving as the Bowling Green assembly plant manager and a key voice in Corvette performance decisions. When the C6 Z06 was developed with its 7.0-liter LS7 V8 — the first dry-sump, titanium-rod engine Chevy put into production — Cooksey pushed to ensure it wasn’t just fast on paper but proven on track and durable as hell on the street. To honor his career and retirement in 2008, Chevrolet created a special “427 Limited Edition” Z06 — a tribute to the LS7’s 505 hp and a nod to Corvette history with a bold visual package and Cooksey’s actual signature on the center console.

How rare is it? Extremely — this isn’t a common Z06. In 2008 GM built 7,731 total Z06s across all colors and specs, out of 35,310 Corvettes total for that model year. But the Wil Cooksey 427 Limited Edition wasn’t everyone’s Z06 — only 505 units were produced worldwide. Of those, 427 went to North America and 78 to other markets, tying directly to the LS7’s 505 hp figure. That production number makes this variant rarer than nearly any standard Z06 — not by a little, but by a lot — and significantly harder to find in stock, well-preserved condition today. Low-mile, correctly signed examples are now sought after by collectors who know what they’re looking at.

Options, aesthetics, and heritage: Beyond rarity, this special edition comes with standout features that weren’t ordinary on every Z06: Crystal Red Tintcoat exterior paint, exclusive leather-wrapped two-tone interior (typically Titanium), custom graphics and “427” badging inspired by classic Corvettes, and Cooksey’s actual signature and numbering under the armrest. Under the hood is the legendary LS7 7.0L V8, paired with a 6-speed manual — the combination that defines analog, visceral performance. This edition wasn’t about luxury bells and whistles — it’s about raw capability with an authentic backstory. That’s what separates it from every other C6 Z06 out there and gives you a real narrative to sell: rare pedigree, engineering heritage, collectible status, and a rock-solid foundation of performance.

Wil Cooksey- the man and the legacy: Wil Cooksey wasn’t some marketing figurehead, he was a real Corvette engineer and leader. For years he sat in top roles within Chevrolet’s Corvette program, ultimately serving as the Bowling Green assembly plant manager and a key voice in Corvette performance decisions. Wil Cooksey some say was the reason the Corvette product line was not pulled in full when the U.S. took over GM as a State Owned Enterprise (SOE) and closed the Camaro, Pontiac, and other lines. Mr. Cooksey is legendary in Corvette circles as he was the engineer behind the design on the C4 and petitioned to keep the Corvete Product Line open in 2007-2009 when the U.S. entered the Great Recession. When he retired General Motors built this Limited Edition to honor this Legend!
