cnv? I think I will pass.

They have a less than stellar history... I visited them once, and was blown off... and I didn't like it.

The engine looks weird, what is up with the aluminum? It looks like the engine has been flooded.

Is it just me or shouldn't that car be worth way more than 23k. There's an old saying if it sounds too good to be true....

That looks like the original oil filter!

The underhood has lost its clearcoat from excess moisture/humidity. Pretty common on cars that sat outside for long periods, maybe on a dealership lot.

polo green was introduced in 1990.

Bastet44 and I, when we started dating, went on a trip to Phoenix. We stopped at CnV one day... what a joke.

They had a number of classics, that they were asking top dollar for. "All original!" "Numbers matching!" "Perfect!" "100 Point Car" and that kinda crap on the wind screens.

In reality, I donno... one that sticks in my head was a 1967 coupe, big block, air car, "all original" but I couldn't prove it. The car had stone chips - deep gouges in the paint - that had simply been painted over.

In short, their show room looked like ****.

After I told the saleshole that I was a current Corvette owner, exploring C2 ownership (I told him about my brother 67 L71) and he walked away. I knew too much.

Also, there was a guy here on the forum that bought a ZR1 from them several years ago... it was a nasty consumer fraud case that dragged on for years. I don't remember the details, but there was questions about CnV not representing the car correctly. It had serious engine problems... and that's serious $$ if you are dealing with LT5s.

CNV has nothing to do with this car.

They should have pulled the intake and cleaned and recoated it, the added value would be worth the effort.

Hell, I think ZR1_hillbilly (aka Cuisinartvette) has got a few spares laying around, nobody gave him the memo on how rare these are.


The only body line that looks off to me is one of the door/hood lines, but that assumes GM had all of them right to begin with...(doubtful.) By the pedals and seats it looks as if quite a few people have sat in there and played with the controls. Looks like a dealership parking lot ***** to me.

Looks to me like they have sprayed some kind of corrosive cleaning product on the engine to clean it at some stage, thats what i first thought when i looked at the pics.

Id be thinking those two EXTREMELY low mile cars should be worth alot more than $44,900 bucks, less than 100 miles is still brand new as far as im concerned!!!
