Not too bad if the car is mint. And make sure and see if the car is a oil burner! Good luck. Let us know how it turns out.

Hi SVT F15O -

There is one like that sitting at LGM in Dallas (Wylie) Texas.

Speedway white, mod red, LG lontubes and tuned.

I think it had around 10k miles on it - and it was an ask of $31k if I remember correctly.

Very nice color combo - it'll be a standout car!

best regards -

Sounds like a good deal to me, not many speedway white Z's around.

Thanks everyone, pretty sure I am going to go for it. Either trying to get a quick flight down in the morning or driving down with my truck and trailer on Saturday.
I am coming from an 03' Cobra and an 01' Lightning. I do have an 87' GN in the garage as well. Can't wait to get her and start modding! -Mat-

Coming from an 03 Cobra, I think the first thing you will notice will be the handling of the car. Obviously the LS6 motor is not quite as easy to mod as your Cobra's, but headers and a tune will make a noticeable difference. Good luck.

Low miles and a rare color, I definitely think it's worth $30,500. Good luck to you on your purchase.

White Z06's are quite rare and pretty cool looking. Are you happy? That's all that matters. Good luck and lots of fun. Miles of smiles!

Who and where are you mailing your money to?
Sorry, $10 grand is too much to mail as a deposit.

Who said it was $10,00>??? It is at a GMC dealership by the way.
Rather than mail anything, my brother was kind enough to run the show at work today and I am flying out in a few hours to check it out. If it looks good then I will be handing over the check, slapping on my plate and driving home. I am so excited I could barely sleep last night. I hope I like this thing! -Mat-

I had to laugh when reading this post. I sold my '03 Cobra to buy my Z. I also sold my '01 Lightning last year, and my '87 GN back in 2004. Sounds like we had very similar garages.

If your Cobra was modded, you might be a little disappointed at first. The Z has a much different feel to it.
