2008 Corvette C6 with ZO6 conversion
Up forsale is my 2008 Corvette that has a pretty extensive mod list. I bought the car in Feb. of this year thinking I would have more time to enjoy it but unfortunately, due to my career, I am not around much during the summer so the car sits in my shop more than it gets driven.
Make: Chevy
Model: Corvette
Sub-model: C6
mileage: 37,xxx
Motor: LS3
Trans: 6 speed
power numebrs: 477whp/455wtq
located in Lincoln, NE 68522
Ok, to start off the car is NOT a true ZO6. I converted the body over to the ZO6 body. The quarters, fenders, Inner fenders, front bumper, etc are all OEM parts and I ordered them brand new from my local dealership. installation and fitmet of the panels was done by myself (I have been doing my own work since 2007) and all paint work was done professionally buy a local bodyshop in Crete, NE that specializes in muscle car restoration.
As far as the mechanical work goes on the car, This exact 2008 corvette was the mule car that was used by LG Motorsports to design the G6 series cams that they sell. the original owner had the car sent to them directly after they purchased it and had they do "the works" to it. When the car left it had a G6X3 cam, Ported and polished heads, intake and throttle body, light weight fly wheel, aftermarket clutch, throw out bearing, and master cylinder. They also got rid of the factory torsion bar suspension set up and converted the entire car over to a coil over setup and installed front and rear ZO6 sway bars. It also left with LG motor sports 1 7/8" super pro long tube headers, 3" off road X pipe and the factory ZO6 NPP exhaust. I have since changed the exhaust to a borla stinger setup and it sounds 1000x better. It has a short throw shifter, 5pt harness bar, and all of the factory brake ducts that come standard on a true ZO6.
Now, for the bad. The car does have a previous salvage title. Before you back out, let me explain why. The last owner got in a slight fenter bender and turned it into insurance. The car DID NOT have any frame damage, and the aribags DID NOT deploy. The accident was so minor that it didnt even put a dent in the front impact bar. I had the original headlights that were on the car but i ended up trading my brother for a set of black ones that he had. the original head lights from my car are now on his 2005 corvette. the reason that the insurance company gave it a salvage title is because it had alot of aftermarket parts (bumper, hood, front splitter, etc) that were damaged in the accident and they weren't sure how to replace them. I have had the frame, steering, body, etc inspected and the car passed with flying colors. This is also the reason that I installed a full ZO6 body.
Like I mentioned above, I just dont have time to enjoy the car and I just cant justify making monthly payments on something that I dont use, so my loss it now your gain. since ive owned the car, it has been stored inside and has not seen any rain or bad weather. I have put about 300-400 miles on the car since feb. If you have any questions and/or would like to come look at the car, please don't hesitate to contact me.
