Default 2002 Z06 platinum?

Hi I was looking at a 2002 Zo6 and noticed it had a rectangle Platinum emblem under the Z06 emblem on the side of the car. Anyone know about this? I am looking at maybe purchasing it. He also told me it had a factory Eliminator package which consisted of: Different wheels, Hurst Shifter, A cold air box and was tuned by GM performance to be putting out 505 HP. He said this was a package offered by GM. Just checking with the forum to see if this is true. Thanks.

I know the exact car. Its at a wholesale dealer in memphis, tn. His "buddys" shop.. I'd steer clear of this. I talked to the guy for 30 minutes on the phone.. Wouldn't let me get a word in. He was telling me about his 2005-6 c6s that had the ls3 in them. He knows nothing about the BS that is spewing from his mouth. Said blackwing + dyno tune from "GM PERFORMANCE" package is +100 hp. Steer clear. there's a reason its been posted up so long. SHADY AS HELL

Edit. ls3 didnt come out til like 08 i think. which means somehow he got an engine that had not come out for 2-3 years in his 05 and 06 c6 corvettes???? I feel like its probably been detailed and rolled back to try to squeeze some extra profit.

He just bought some "platnum" edition decals and put them all over the car.

I've never heard of this package. Smells of B.S. If a badge and a tune will add 100 hp to my '02 sign me up...I already have different wheels.

He also said it was in the Corvette Museum for 6 or 7 years on display. I thought someone may have seen it there.

You couldn't tell he was BS'ing you when he told you a tune and an intake gave a 5.7l engine the same 505hp as the C6 Z06 7.0l engine? lol that must be a hell of a tune.

notice all of the pics are blurry. He also told me that it had special platinum edition wheels, they're c6 z06 wheels, probably just replicas.

also you can buy these:

Don't buy that car. Hopefully it's the final nail into his cash flow problems and then he goes Bankrupt.
