Awesome for sure…. I got a quick question and I’m new here and I help some help in how to get a fair appraisal on a 2023 Corvette. First, If I have a vin 00001 does that add value to the resale. I’m loosing at a 2023 Carbon black 70th edition coupe with the z51 package and all the goodie’s. Never been on the road and it’s absolutely new . I know the retail is around 90k and many others out there but none with 00001 vin. Does that add value?

It’ll probably help to post this question over on the C8 forum.

Nice work! Your car looks great!

I am glad to see you had the t-tops off and had them on the rack. I am sure the rack/holder it is a conversation piece.

Thanks! The T-Top carrier always attracts a lot of attention. Most people think it’s aftermarket and are surprised when I tell them it’s a factory installed option.

From what I can tell from the paperwork I have, it’s all very original. I’ve traced it back to its second owner, I’m the 4th. I’m still working on finding the original owner. My mechanic confirmed it’s the original interior and paint. The A/C has been upgraded, and I just put in a new radiator, engine mounts and a tuneup. It had 24k on it when I bought it a year ago and I’ve been able to verify that from copies of the titles and registrations I have from owner #2 and #3.
