<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<SOLD>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >
Whats Up for sale? My 650hp 2008 Jet stream Blue Z06 corvette. Purchased new in March 2008 from Kerbeck Chevrolet in NJ. Delivered enclosed by Reliable Transport. 3M clear guard installed the next day on over 1/2 the car! One owner car. No accidents. Registered /plated in Colorado. My goal was to build the fastest lapping day car I could and still be able to drive to work 2-3 times/week in comfort (weather permitting). I also wanted to be able to drive to the track for lapping days without the need for a tow vehicle/trailer. I accomplished that with a street friendly 570RWHP/532 RWTRQ , 28 MPH highway with all the creature comforts still in place including an Alpine/Dynaudio stereo system, heat, A/C and onstar. Guaranteed to be the quietest C6Z you have ever driven with the Dynamat/insulation.

The build thread on this car is listed here...( many many pictures!)

Price: My goals/priorities have changed in the last year or so and I find myself enjoying the car less on track days ( a total of 5 hrs in the past two years). On top of the $72K purchase price, I have invested over $48.5K IN PARTS/Labor modifying this car as currently listed and I have a large folder of receipts to document this for any potential buyer.

VIDEOS---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Engine start-up and idle with NPP B&B fusion exhaust cycled on/off. My new camera has a VERY sensitive mic on it so the car sounds louder than it really is but this video gives you an overall idea of how easily the cars starts and idles. Car is currently tuned for the least amount of stop light odor w/o cats.

I have literally turned every nut/bolt/screw on this car with the exception of the rod bolts and the main bolts. The motor was assembled and tuned by corvette forum member Rod Dewild of Dewild Motorsports in Henderson, Colorado. (username: NitrousJunkie and the 2010 PSCA Street Car Supernationals Champion!!!).

http://www.streetcarsupernationals.com/hscontend.html

Special attention has been paid to the braking & engine oiling systems in regards to durability, heat dissipation and performance.

Why am I selling? I’ve been asked that many times lately. Ultimately, The car is WAY too nice to cage and race in T3/T4 NASA or wheel to wheel events which is my next driving goal. Since I do not need a 650hp daily driver, I’ve decided to sell the car now and build a completely caged dedicated track car ( with less power to fit class requirements) a year or two from now. The future owner could literally pull off the 3M clear guard from the car (complete front end and lower ½ of the car since it was new) and the paint would be 98% perfect at 20,4xx miles.

Condition: Overall, this car is in great to excellent condition. 3K of the mileage came from a trip to the Road America back in fall of 2008 to participate in the NCM track event held there. It was the first test of the car and it had no problem handling the ZR1 prototypes while still running its original tires!

Interior: The interior is immaculate. Since the stocks seats are out of the car most of the year in favor of the Sparcos, the seats show very little wear. Car has never seen smoke, food, pets or otherwise. Always is run with weathertech full coverage mats. There are a few small surface marks on the door handles if you look closely ( I should have bought the wife a smaller ring)

Wheels/Tires: 96% perfect. These are hard to find GM factory painted ZR1 19/20" Speedlines. They have 2K miles on them since being installed earlier this year. They will clear ANY brake package available for the C6Z. The tires are ZR1 spec Michelin PS2 run-flats with 2008 TPMS’s

Paint: 98%. Car literally has 3 small (BB sized) chips. I know because I do all the detailing myself (Mequires/Zymol products, disposable microfiber towels, no BUFFERS!). Mostly Power washed and ALWAYS power washed before hand washing ( double bucket method). Clay bar use before every waxing. This car has VERY VERY few of the minor clear coat “spider webbs” most cars get.

Glass: side and rear windows are tinted and are 100% perfect. If this car a fault at all, its the windshield. It is a solid 85% with the normal pitting seen early in the AM hours with the sun in your face. Tint is easily removable but is not too dark. A new windshield would make this car look new from the outside, I will leave that up to the new owner.

Motor/driveline: Excellent! Top end was freshened in July of 2011 and only has 2K miles of use. Transmission and rear differential are running Royal Purple synthetics installed fall 2010. New Coolant installed 7/11. Mobile-1 Oil just changed 11/11.


Shipping: Shipping will be the responsibility of the buyer. I will make myself available for pick-up if you are having the car shipped. I have no means to deliver myself, unless you choose to purchase the car without all the race gear, then you could fly into Denver and I’ll pick you up!

Payment/Fineprint: I have tried to described everything as accurately as possible. I encourage any potential buyer to send me a PM or E-mail at Bowtiguy@comcast.net I'll give you my cell number and we can go from there. Vehicle is available for local inspection/drive for serious buyers (weather permitting).

I will take $1000 deposit upon purchase and the remaining payment within 7 days. Paypal is acceptable for deposit. Bank transfer is preferred for final payment. Bank check will work, but the car will not leave until funds have cleared. Car will be released upon full payment and the title upon the funds clearing.

Trades...

If the car does not sell by summer time, I may be interested in a trade/cash for a good quality complete 1958,1959 or 1960 vette. Numbers matching not required.

londonk

Nice....... Any trades? What's the price ?

bowtiguy

Left that one important fact out didn't I

The thread has been edited with asking price.

Only trades I would be interested in is a complete 58,59,60 vette. But I don't think I'd go down that road until the car is listed for a while including a 30 day Buy it now/offer listing on E-bay, racingjunk, etc...

Right now, I'd rather have the $$$ to accomplish a few other goals..

Random84

Gotta be fast around here (with the edits).

Nice looking ride!

dvandentop

good luck with the sale mike i have had the same feelings are you in the past year or so.

bowtiguy

To get an idea how little track time this car has seen. here are my track wheels/tires...

bowtiguy

Lots of PM's on the track parts for this car. At this time, the only way to own them is to buy the car...

If the car sells before track season and the new owner does not want the track parts..I will list them here first individually.

Otherwise, I'll be holding onto them in case I decide to take the car to the track for a lapping day or two in 2012( The 5.3L in the H3 doesn't have quite the pull at 1/2 the HP )

crownu2

Hey Mike PM me with a price your looking to get for it .....Thank you

Z06Samuel

Great color / parts!

bowtiguy

yeah, better to be safe than sorry. I think I'm way overdue for a cage/firesystem ..or I could slow down...

PM replied. Price isn't firm and I'm open to reasonable offers.

Thanks. I like the color too, amazing in different light. Thats why I protected it from the ground up to the mid body line w/ 3M clear bra. The Parts really do work on the car. It's nice to have such a capable track car in sheeps clothing to drive back and forth to the office.( No wings, decals, ground effects, 6" long splitters that drag on driveways)....... If you can consider any C6Z a sheep

bowtiguy

All Pm's replied to with contact information, thanks.

Joe_Joe

Man I really want this car!!!! This is set up PERFECTLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

06x6spdGTO

Have you ever thought of trading your car for TWO cars???

One Lingenfelter Certified 2006 Brazen Orange Supercharged GTO M6 - 28k miles 530whp/530wtq

One 2001 Quicksilver/Mod Red C5Z06 - Forged 347ci LS6, Ported Heads, Cam, Intake, Exhaust 463/420wtq. 125kMiles on chassis, under 12k on motor, trans, rear end, shocks, brakes, etc....

Pm Me if your interested as this is a guaging offer for myself as well.

bowtiguy

Thanks for the kind words. I'd like to think its set up pretty well too. Besides a set of 3-way penske's, there isn't much more I could do to it that would improve anything. If I keep the car thats what I will do.

Besides only having 1 garage space available at this time, the only thing I would be interested in is a 58-60 vette driver. The wife wants thinks they are sexy and I'd like to do a resto-mod version. No project cars , I've already got a 57 Nomad in box's on the Bend Pak

Whats unique about this sale is I can set the car up anyway the buyer requests. If they do not forsee track days in their future, I can sell the car the way it is currently set-up and you have a super clean 650 HP street car with an incredibly clean Dynaudio sound system and NO DRONE interior, No "ground effects" or "ricer wing"

The look is just right with the MTI chin spoiler and the ZR1 wheels/tire package. I'll get some shots in the garage after I finish the detail. Car is clean and clay bared now just three more paint steps.

bowtiguy

The shots were taken with out the use of interior dressing such as armorall. Products like that will hide imperfections. The interior is in excellent shape.

ZMANSZ06

WOW !!! Bump for an incredible build and what an add.

This guy knows how to describe a sale !!!

Kudo's for a great car, good luck. Anyone will be lucky to get this at this price. See the previous Katech Track Attack car that sold on EBAY.

bowtiguy

Thanks gentleman. I appreciate the kudo's.

If you want it done right....I tried to put enough content into the listing to compliment the attention to detail that was put into the vehicle. I make my living at paying attention to detail, so the car is just an extension of what I do...just faster!

BTW, if anyone would like additional pics, just let me know.

Katech_Zach

Possibly the most thorough for sale post ever made.

vertC6

The most perfect car I have ever seen for sale on the forum...... Except it's not BLACK
