Does anyone have any information on this paticualr car?

Looks like a Dealer add on?
Is it going to be a collectiable?
Value compared to any other 03 coupe?

Thanks for any help, just found one and like it. I had been just looking for a ZO6 but these are very unique.

Greg

 

Not familiar with it. Wish I had my Corvette Black Book with me.

 

Member Vetteman Jack has a Milestone Edition Coupe. I'm sure he'll chime in.

Vettman Jack bought his from a guy in NJ. I know the previous owner and I am fairly sure that if Jack can't answer all your questions, then I can contact the previous owner and get additional info for you. Anyway these were created by Dana Forrester in conjunction with the NCM and very few were created. I don't know the number but I would have to say that they are or will be a collectible. Is the one you are looking at red, white or blue? Coupe, vert or Z06? What's the asking price?

 

white, coupe, 6 speed, $27,000.00 with 13000 miles. I really wanted a ZO6 but this care is just so unique. I just don't know how to value the "milestone edition" portion of the car. Apparently this is something that the dealers ordered and added on?

 

Found this on the internet.

The Milestone Edition was a joint venture between the renowned Corvette artist Dana Forrester and the National Corvette Museum to honor the 50th anniversary of the Corvette. The graphics were designed by Dana Forrester incorporating the NCM logo. Each vehicle is numbered. The Milestone edition included an upgraded Donaldson Blackwing intake, Corsa exhaust with Pro Polished tips, Chromed shifter ball, Chrome Z06 style wheels, Lloyds floor mats emroidered with the Milestone Edition logo and the NCM logo .Color Keyed fuel rail covers signed and numbered by Dana Forrester, and a dash plaque with the logo and number. Each vehicle also came with an 10.5x13 watercolor print of the Milestone Trio signed and numbered by Dana Forester, a painting done by Dana Forrester commemorating these special edition Corvettes, and a certificate of authenticity.

The one my friend sold a year ago had 8500 miles on it and was an automatic. Not sure of the price but I think it was around $25K. Although 1000 were allotted to be made, I think that no more than 100 were created. It looks like a pretty good deal.

I think the car you are looking at was on Ebay back in June. High bid at that time was $22,100 and it did not sell.

 

A vert sold at Barrett-Jackson for $39,600, not sure when:

I have said, and been backed up by countless people that a C5 was never offered from the factory with chrome wheels.
Were the wheels factory supplied, or added on by the dealer?

 

Must have been changed at the dealer. I wonder what the dealer did with all those rims?

Included in the Milestone Editions package are:

A Corsa™ Performance Indy Muffler System with Pro Polished Tips and a Donaldson Black Wing™ Air Intake System. (These non-warranty violating performance upgrades have been shown to create up to a 25 horsepower increase on a dyno-meter.)
Sequentially numbered and engraved dash plaque, vinyl body graphics. The graphics package includes a checkered flag with 50 gold rings, three ribbons running through the flag, and the NCM logo.
Fender and rear badges bearing NCM logo
Chrome, Z06-style wheels
Lloyd embroidered floor mats bearing the logos of NCM and Milestone Editions.
Chrome shifter ****.
A sequentially numbered and engraved dash plaque
Windshield banner with logos of NCM and Milestone Editions.
Color keyed engine fuel rail covers personally signed by Dana Forrester and a certificate of authenticity

 

Hello Greg
I have one of them I bought new. It has 6000 miles on it. I was looking on here to see if there was any info on them. I am going to have mine appraised. No its not a dealer add on. I was told this is the first car the Corvette Museum ever put their logo on. I would love any info u can get on them.

OK, here's what I know. The Milestone Edition package was an option you could order through the dealer just like any other factory option but it was not installed at the factory when the car was built. The graphics and all the other add ons were sent to the selling dealer and then added to the car once it arrived there for delivery to the buyer. Price of the Milestone package was $4995.

I have spoken at length with Dana Forrester about the package - he has one (a Z06). According to Dana, a total of up to 1000 copies of the package were authorized, but in reality only about 100 or so were purchased. The exact number is hard to determine as some dealers did not follow the guidelines when installing the components on each car so more than one car may have received some components of a single package. If it is a true Milestone car, it should have a certificate of authenticity signed by Dana Forrester as well as a limited edition print also signed by Dana.

There was one that sold at Barrett Jackson earlier this year (back in January I believe) - had about 50K miles on the car and still brought a pretty good price.

Based on the mileage (and according to Dana the car was not in mint condition), I'd say the value has held up very well for this limited edition car. Either that, or the buyer just got caught up in a bidding war and paid more than he should have. Would be interesting to see what an independent appraisal would say.

The wheels were an add on as part of the package and were aftermarket chrome Z06 style in the stock 17x8.5/18x9.5 for coupe/vert and 17x9.5/18/10.5 for the Z06 version.

I bought mine from a forum member in NJ (selling dealer was Kerbecks) - the car had 8500 miles on it and I paid $25K for it back in September 09. I think I got a great deal since the car was in mint condition.

I continue my research into these cars - would like to find someone that has a red one located reasonably close to the mid-Missouri area. gwalker and I have been in touch and since he has a white one, the red version would make for a great picture of the three colors available with the package installed.

Knowing that Peggy has one in Kansas City KS, that now makes four cars (hers, mine, gwalker and Dana Forrester) that are within a couple of hours of each other. I also remember an Electron Blue Z06 being up for sale from a private individual at the Lake of the Ozarks, MO before I bought mine - I guess it finally sold but have no idea where it is now.

If anyone has more questions on these, I might be able to answer the questions. If not, you could always contact Dana Forrester (www.danaforrester.com) and he can provide some info.

Also, I have not been able to find the Milestone Edition package listed in any pricing publication - NADA, Kelly Blue Book, Corvette Black Book, etc.

 

Holy Crap that's HIDEOUS!!

 

Opinions are like a**holes, every one has one.

 

How can we make a "special edition"
I know let's put a ton of tacky ugly stickers on the car and sell it to morons for more $.
Someone said it in another thread.
There's an *** for every seat.

 

Also the Z06 version was only available in Electron Blue.

 

Well, we certainly know how you feel about the cars.

Love them or hate them, the one that sold at Barrett Jackson did pretty well for itself.

 

I have heard of these special editions, but I cannot find any info in the Black Book or on the Corvette Action center. There had to be an RPO order code.

 

Well why don't you tell us how you really feel. You have been a member for 8 years and only posted 27 times, but I give you credit, you speak your mind.

 

Not normally one to resuurect an old thread, BUT...
I have the original window sticker and Milestone Edition owners packet from my car that I bought new in 2003. It was a Torch red convertible #65. The dealer couldnt sell it with the sticker package, so they removed them...then made me one hell of a deal on a $50k+ new car.
If anyone is looking for info on these cars, feel free to contact me.

Unfortunately I sold mine some time ago.....maybe the current owner is out there....

 

What all do you have? Do you still have the VIN for your old car? Did your car have Dana Forester's signature on the fuel rail or glove box?
