That is really interesting, most of the cars for sale, and still for sale here on the east coast are Yellow Corvettes, as a matter of fact I recentyly saw an add that said any color but yellow. LOL, Your car was right in the general price range I said. I am not trying to put yellow corvettes down but I garante a silver one with the same price, options and miles sells faster.

This was the least of my concerns but,
I may have been unclear when I explained the whole coast line issue, these are no longer the hot rods people are looking to restore and "rust or petina being the issue and certainly not electronics as they hardley had any, (because I am sure a corvette near the beach see a lot more salt exposure than a corvette in Nebraska)

San Diego is an area known for pitted chrome.

As is any coastal area.

I will need to find a guy who wants a modded car and knows what it cost to start from scratch, selling anything modded always takes time. I sold my 03 for 22k 2 yrs ago, needed tires and I sold it to a friend without any hassle.

I was there, That was the yellow one... There was 3 others that went yesterday also... There was a Blue 03 with 23K miles that went for $25K, A Black 01 with MR interior with 35K miles that had a Cam and D1SC that went for $24.5 and a Black 01 with a C5-R 427, big brake kit, custom interior ect ect $32K...

Plus you have to add the buyers premium and taxes...

Only paid 22k for my 04 z06 CE with 36k miles. Most people here are dreaming.

You kind of got a deal that's all that is....

Yellow is the rarest color with 405hp and should be sought out for.
In 2002 only 1,065 yellow Z06's were built.
In 2003 only 1,708 yellow Z06's were built.
In 2004 only 629 yellow Z06's were built.

And it's the least desirable color, well because its yellow lol....

Bought my TR new, three years use as a SCCA National Tour car (trailered not many miles) modes, expensive DA shocks. Next it took me to my 150mph club at Bonneville (it took twelve passes, and two seasons to make it in), and a few track days. It has been driven across Europe for a month seeing 163 mph on an open section of the A24. Taken me across the US three time, and one trip to Alaska. It's been driven in all weather conditions. It's eaten more brakes, and tires then I (or my wife wants to know). I'v repaired the ABS Module, four serpentine belts along with two sets of pulleys, and one air conditioner clutch.
Oh and it's getting close to the big Century mark on the clock.

The Z cost me upper $40s new, but is PRICELESS now.

Actually, machine silver is the rarest color with 405hp. It was only offered in 2004 and there were only 967 ZO6 units built.

Just sayin'.

deadcafe

There are more yellow Z's for sale than any other color combo.
I was very frustrated when I was looking, had a black FRC, and loved it but I became a professional detailer owning that thing, It needed to be cleaned everyday , This time I wanted Silver,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,talk about a tough color to find for sale!

Grimlock

The yellow one had some ugly mods on it like tail light louvers and chromed rims. Those definitely don't help the value.

deadcafe

"Should",,being the key word you used BUT,,, There are very few people that like yellow, GM forsaw a limited crowd and thus built fewer, and keep in mind the Mil Yellow C5 Z saw 3,402 405hp total units built

We all love the 2001 Speedway White (only 352 Z06 units built) pry being the most rare but even they are not an instant sale here. The price on them still ranges in the high teens to low 20's

Only 2025 Commemorative Le Mans units Z16's were made and they sell for mid to high 20's, therefor bringing the highest dollar fora Z.-And the most sought after by collectors.

Just my honest opinion here...

deadcafe

Correction,,Speedway White is the rarest 352 units total in Z06 form built (not a 405hp though). Offered only in 2001

PEETYZ

Where can I find the build numbers/colors per year? I did quick search but didnt turn up much except the ls6 spring failure stuff. Thanks!

Most interested in Torch Red/ Black interior for 2001

Grimlock

Another factor is that Millenium Yellow is the only color that cost extra from the factory on the Z06 ( not counting the Z16).

Grimlock

They are printed in the Corvette Black book.

deadcafe

They shade the clear coat, (an extra step in the painting process) this is why it is such a tough color match if there are any blemishes or collisions.

SS2001SS

I think there were 2025 Z16 C5Z's made. Anyway I know where #708 is
