Highlights of the Hill Country Classic auction will include eight rare special limited production Corvettes produced in 2009 – The Competition Sport Edition and the GT1 Championship Edition are among the highlights. Only 72 Competition Sport Package Corvettes were produced. This collection includes 1 of 39 in Blade Silver Coupes and 1 of 10  Black Z06’s. The GT1 Championship Edition was built to commemorate the ten years of Corvette Racing’s successful run in the American Le Mans series. Three versions of the GT1 were available, “Coupe,�?? “Convertible�?? or “Z06.�?? The only two colors available were Velocity Yellow or Black and only 125 of 600 were built.  The collection offered at this auction include an outstanding  6 of them. These include 2 of 38 Z06s in Velocity Yellow, 2 of 17 Black Z06s, 1 of 7 Black Convertibles and 1 of 10 Velocity Yellow Convertibles.

In 2009,  Corvette also debuted the 200+ mile ZR1 supercar Corvette which included the LS9 6.2 liter supercharged engine producing 638 horsepower. It was the fastest ever Corvette produced by the company.  Dan Kruse Classics will offer a 2009 Black Corvette ZR1 SC L159 and a 2010 Corvette ZR1 SC L159 in Yellow with only seven miles on her odometer from this extremely desirable production run.

“I am in awe of this collection of rare Corvettes. I have never had the opportunity to offer collectors such a rare opportunity to purchase their choice of such  low-mileage, exclusive cars that defined American performance automobiles,�?? said Dan Kruse, Founder & CEO of Dan Kruse Classics. “This rare collection which has been housed by one collector for many years has not been driven. As anyone knows,  Corvette is a true American Icon. We are thrilled to be able to offer these rare Corvettes for sale at September’s Hill Country Classic Auction.�??
