Default Trade my '68 427/390 coupe and C6 Z06 for your C7 Z06

Would like to trade my 1968 Lemans Blue 427, 390 horse coupe and my 2006 Z06 with 27,000 miles for a new or lightly used 2015/2016 Z06 coupe. I would value the 68 at $40,000 and the Z06 at $38,000. Both are mint. They are fanatically maintained. The 68 is an automatic, Turbo 400 and all original. The Z is in as new condition. It is a 2LZ (loaded pkg in 06). I have too many cars and am downsizing a bit. I would consider an auto but prefer a manual. I'm in Mass.

Thank you,

Paul

Thank you Z. I can't believe I'm doing this and may regret it in a few years when the new Z06 depreciates and becomes yesterday's news, but you get to the point of not wanting to take care of so many cars.

Had one nice offer but they wanted my 61 Can't wrap my head around losing that one just yet.

Man I'm in love with your whole set up. The Garage and all. My first Corvette was a 68 just like yours Lemans blue/blue but mine was NMN 427-390 was a 4spd and had side pipes. I agree it's nice to thin the herd BUT depreciation WILL be a killer. GOOD LUCK

Paul, breaking news! The C7 Z06 is yesterday's news. Seriously, just follow the typically buyer (got to have) frenzy that took place when the Z06 hit the market. Dealers are sitting on Z06 inventory much longer, and the discounts are deep. Yes, it is now yesterday's news, albeit still a beast of a corvette!!!!

Actually Tom it's today's news I just brought home a 2016 Long Beach Red Z06 a few minutes ago. Great car. I'm sure GM will make it obsolete with the mid engine Vette but I will be grinning when I drive this. Nice ride home from Masse in R.I. I will post pics when I download them.

UPDATE: The Z06 is gone. Traded in on a new Z06 today. The 68 is still available. Love the 68 but it's time to get the numbers down a bit. It's a beautiful car. Anyone who looks at this car and drives it will likely buy it.

Dude, you are and continue to be my garage/vette hero! Nice addition to the fleet; beautiful color. I have been on the fence about a new C7 Z06, what made you cross over? And why not a vert?

This old timer likes the way you roll capevettes.. I've noticed your stable before and I have to compliment your garage and cars.. Lots of work and money and worth every thin dime spent.

I can see how that car got to you, it's the nicest color they make in my opinion. I'd love to have a ride like that. Good luck with it.

Don't consolidate and don't simplify! That is a great collection. I think you should be adding one and not removing two to add one.
