Default Yellow LT4 vert fs in Phoenix

These are very hard to find. This looks a bit like the car that Brandt Kessler used to own. The car did not have the stripes or wheels when he sold it.

Yep that's the one Brandt had. The VIN matches up. It was listed here on the forum last year as well, I think.

edit...

Time flies, I guess it was listed two years ago but sold in February, 2015.

Kills me that I sold that car absolutely pristine, and they turned into that. Unreal....

What makes this car so rare? The yellow color? or the low miles? Just curious because I'm asking like a third of what the CL ad is for my LT4 convertible...

Extremely low production numbers for Competition Yellow verts with an LT4. Brandt probably knows that exact number but it is somewhere around 10 of them. Ask him how long his search was to find one.

And Brandt - while I 100% agree that the mods done to your former car definitely detract from its natural beauty they are easily reversible at least. It could be worse. Personally not a big fan of the Greenwood kit, although it is tolerable but the deck lid, euro tail lights, and the wrong gills on the side...

Yep yellow LT4s are certainly rare overall. You're right, it is 1 of 11 as equipped. 17 total yellow/black LT4s. Brandt looked forever to find it. Along the way he found many of the 17, most with stories.

This thread shows the detail on the production numbers. Post #6 shows the yellow ones.

Agreed, it could easily be turned back to stock.

Yep, but I'm over that...I have a GS ragtop again, and I paid less for the GS than he's asking for the yellow one. Yellow is a tough sale unless you really want one, then it's a tough find.

I looked for 10 years to find one, and bought that car with under 10K miles, and it was mint. Sold it with right around 11K miles, and it was mint, and could have gone for a top flight award...now, looks like a teenager had it and F**ked it up.

His asking price is ridiculous.

Remember you debated selling it for a minute
Im not one of those stock only guys but certain vettes look best bone stock. A hartop (did they even have them that yr) would look killer on it.
Never liked the look of convertible tops or maybe it was from the inside....but the hartops look better than the regular coupes they still have an early C2 even FRC type roofline to them.

NOT MY CAR
at least you didnt say President you must be in good health LOL
