Any local low mile C6 LS3 cars for sale?
Looking to update my C6 to an LS3 model, 6 speed manual. Anybody know of any late model C6 (Z51 preferred) cars for sale?
The wife says no Yellow (I love that color, but...).

I've got a stock displacement forged LS3 with Ported heads and a cam, all the bolt on of course. It was a Z51, but I went with the Johny O Pfadt shocks and bars. It also has Stop tech brakes and CCW wheels. Plenty more, but not really on the market, although the thought crossed my mind yesterday that I was not as attached to the C6 as I am the C5.

IF I ever sell my 91 ZR-1, then I was considering trading my 2008 coupe away to get enough cash together for a C6 Z06. Arctic White-22k miles, 6 spd, 1LT Z51, comp grey wheels, two tops. It's going to be about $30k but it is tip-top and has new tires etc.

Do you want a coup or convertible? I am considering selling my 2008 Z-51. It is a 3LT and has every option available at the time. It also has all Z06 body panels, suspension and wheels. I also have all of the original body panels (that were removed when the car had ~1000 miles on it, in case you want to change it back to a narrow body car. How much are you looking to spend?

Almost exactly what I am looking for, exept the 1LT. I want the HUD and heated seats. I wonder how much to add those?

The seats would be more complicated. The 1LT does not come with the airbag seats nor the power passenger seat, but due to this lack of airbags, swapping seats in the base model is less complicated. You could do Viper seats or C7 ones. Or maybe the 2011 and up ones as I think they are more comfortable.
but anyhow, not really selling unless the other vette goes first- basically the planets would have to align anyhow.

I have heard that GM parts vendors sell a HUD kit with all the parts, dash switch cluster and whatnot, and it isn't very expensive. Optimally you would need the special reflective HUD windshield but many people say universal replacement glass works fine. I have been driving this car for long enough to not care about it. As a matter of fact I found it very distracting when I traded vettes with somebody for fun and ended up turning it off.

Is it safe to assume you're sticking with a manual trans, or are you also open to an auto? (It might help to specify.)

Can't wait to see you in a shiny, new Vette.

Still looking. You have a buyer right here with money in the bank just waiting to buy. If you are going to trade in your car, PM me first. I guarantee I can beat what the dealer will pay!!
