and it would cost $1100 + to get it here.
I believe you have the 1sc package with both power seats, power telescope steering wheel, memory package and electrochromatic heated mirrors/auto dim interior mirror as well as dual mode HVAC.
Your wheels are not chrome, but factory polished and coated, a $1200 option. Nice car. If we could adjust price ..... will PM you.

You are correct David except for the wheels are actually chrome (the pics may not show too well). I sold my C6 about a year ago and yes it cost around $1100 to ship in an enclosed truck to Mississippi. Feel free to PM me anytime!!!

to determine that there was a "factory" chrome wheel offered as an option in 2001. If they are chrome, they must be aftermarket , not OEM.

The only reason I even care is that here on the coast the aftermarket chrome wheels don't hold up in the salt air no matter what you do to them.Inland they are just fine. I actually like them better than polished.

We were the second owners of this Vette which was a low mile lease return. The chrome wheels were listed as stock equipment. If not factory installed, the chrome wheels were a dealer installed option when new.

Thanks Ron, sounds like you had a nice little road trip...a great way to enjoy your new Vette. Keep in mind guys that a California car is not subject to salt roads, snow, excessive rust, etc.

Hello folks,

Given the lack of a true legit offer, we sort of gave up on selling the car. Well, it is still available and looking for a good home. The car now has exactly 26010 miles. There is one con - the left headlight motor is now making noise and may be on its way out. The new reduced price is $20,500.

Hi 300,
To enable you to put the issue of the wheels to bed, should you decide to pursue selling, pull one (or all) of the wheels and look at the back of the spokes. It should be stamped "GM" or conceivably (since you are the second owner), "Speedline". If that is the case, the wheels are OEM, but were sent out in the aftermarket to be chromed.
Sounds like a motor or gear might be going in the headlight; if it's a gear parts are readily available for fixing it. Good luck !

Those OEM wheels are polished aluminum, which actually looks better than chrome. Less bling-y.
