I am selling my Rad Z#3 show/performance car. I had this car on the national show circuit for several years and used it to test different performance components at HPDE's.

Many of you might have seen this car when it was painted with a rather wild paint scheme. I repainted the car and toned down the paint and retained a lot of the cool graphics, but the car now is mostly cyber gray with velocity yellow hood accent with Z Rod mural.
I purchased this car with a salvage title when it had 2800 miles on it. I rebuilt it a couple of times to show different performance mods and body styles. Most components of car have about 1000 miles on them and the odometer, which is correct, now has 4875 miles on it. The car currently has a prior salvage title in the state of Minnesota.
I am trying to get $45,000 for car. If I can't get a decent offer I am going to part out. That would be a shame because it is one beautiful car.
Reducing price to $42,000.00. Here is a list of parts/engine work that Doug Rippie Motorsports did about 1200 miles ago:
New Custom Comp Cam
LS7 rotating assembly, JE coated pistons, Forged rods & crank, bearings, and balancing
Clean and Hone block
Ferra Exhaust valves and dual spring kit
ARP stud kit
All new gaskets and seals
New 60lb injectors
ARE dry sump system
Aeromotive high performance fuel pump and lines.
holy crap that's a great price! Got me tempted to look into buying it!!! I am hopefully selling my Viper shortly in the next week or so... IF this is still around we need to get together. I have cash and im local.
P.S (This is Aj, younger indian guy, I had that pewter c5 vert with the C5R 427ci, silver c6 Z06 and the red c6 z06 built by DRM as well)

I have given up! Advertising the drivetrain in C6 parts, Maybe I can get $40,000.00 if I part it out. I spent $120,000.00 building this car so the parts should be worth something.

Your car is very custom and very specialized, unfortunately that can often times hurt a sale.
As a neutral party looking at this many of the customized mods you have added are probably out of the average "Z" buyers likes or wants.
The yellow accents on the interior/exterior looks really nice, it may be too much for most, along with the large rear wing, and most likely the salvage title is killing all non-cash buyng prospects.
I had a really custom vehicle many years ago and could not sell it, I wound up yanking almost everything off it custom and selling it in pieces putting it back to almost stock before selling it as well.
I have found that corvette owners are quite picky and want only what they want.
There are a few really low mileage examples of nice cars on here that are stunning and worth every penny the buyers are asking, but they are the wrong color for some or miles too high, ect.
I wish you luck, I can see a lot was put into it, but it has to be car someone can appreciate as much as you did and that is the hardest part, finding someone who wants it and is willing to pay cash for it.
This is a bad-*** car for sure, and it's extremely well built in terms of the drivetrain, and I think it would sell in a heart beat, there's a few things bringing it down:
-The yellow
-The wheels, as nice and expensive as they are, they just don't do anything for the cars appearance IMO. The grey on grey is blah and the yellow rivets....eh.
- The wing
- The graphics/stickers
-Obviously, the salvage title.
Remove the wing (sell it) put some stock chromed spyders or stock ZR1 wheels (Sell the Forgelines) clean it up a bit with the graphics, lower it more and take better pics, and it will sell for sure.

If I put the stock ZR1 tires on it, it would look funny because I put a wide body fender kit on back. Here is what the car looked like with the 2nd paint job I had on it with the stock ZR1 wheels.
I have some serious inquires about the car now. Hopefully it will be sold by end of week.
