You need this yellow LT4 vert
You probably all know that Brandt's yellow vert is for sale. I have been talking with him and hoping I could swing the deal.
I retire on June 30 with some funds coming in and could buy it then - BUT - the uncertianty of the economy just tells my wife and I that we need to hold on to our cash right now.
This would make a super excellent show car and weekend driver for one of you. I know that he is hoping that it goes to a good caretaker and would be flexible in his negotiations with the right buyer.
I told him that this would be a superstar car at one of the Berrett Jackson auctions but that just is not in the cards right now.
I feel that this is an investment grade Corvette and will return your price sometime down the road if you keep it original and well maintained.
I just got back from Bloomington Gold and saw a lot of fabulous Corvettes there. This one will hold its own with ANY one of them.

The yellow and black combination is not desired by many. The shiny wheels also detract from it's overall condition. I would be willing to mercifully take it off their hands for KBB values.

That vette is in such great shape i'd feel guilty driving it. It belongs in a museum.

Really? I love when you go to a dealer to trade. The car that was sold as the hottest thing now becomes the step child. I traded a blue Lincoln once with a white interior, the dealer said it was goody. Sure act like you don't want it, grab it then mark it up. Once on their lot they will never say this yellow color nobody wants and the chrome wheels got to go! Maybe you are not a dealer but those comments sound like one. I like the car and if I was in the market would be reaching out to the seller.

That's one beautiful vert! Even though I'd prefer it with the tan interior, I wouldn't turn my nose up to it. Are those Fiske wheels? Nice! That car will sell itself eventually.

He would look very "Hollywod" driving it around Miami beach and loving every minute of it.

I've seen that car in person and pictures don't do it justice. Brandt spares no expense and this car is done "right"
Wish I had the extra coin!

The exhaust has never been off the car, and I am going to put the stock wheels back on the car. The wheels you see are Fikse, and I think they set off the car.
Whomever buys this car will be getting a pristine example of a very hard to find C4. It took me 10 years to find this car.
Ron...thank you for the kind words my friend.

It really is a beautiful Corvette and I wish you nothing but the best in its sale. I would look pretty good cruising South Beach or the Keys in that, Ron.
