427 Edition
I'm looking for a few good places to list a car for sale. It is a 2008 Z06 427 Limited Edition with less than 400 miles. Could you give some ideas of where to list and what I should be asking for it (it has never been titled).
Thanks!
Thanks!

Yes. The Z06 is in Arizona. The 427 Limited Edition Z06 comes with the 3LZ Preferred Equipment package and special dark titanium color. The seats and the floor mats have “427” embroidery, and the center-console trim plate is finished in the same red as the body. Each 427 Limited Edition comes with a numbered plaque signed by Wil Cooksey, a name known only to Corvette faithful who may recognize him as the Bowling Green assembly-plant manager who is retiring in March. There were 505 made and 427 of them stayed in the US.

The car was purchased new in Phoenix in 2008. It sits garaged in Pinetop, AZ under a cover on a battery tender and is started routinely. The only mileage are the miles driven from Phoenix to Pinetop. The car has never been titled so ever buys it will be the first owner on record. I'm thinking of asking in the mid $70's, but I don't know the real value.

Very interesting only 200 mi ?
Out of the 427 sold in the US yours is what number out of 505 ?
Post it in the for sale section, include all details, price and of course pictures. Good Luck with the sale I would be interested in knowing what it sells for being I have #010 out of #505, but with 9K mi on the clock.

...can't one buy a new 2012 or 2013 Z06 (similarly equipped) in the high $60K's or low $70Ks ?
even though that '08 limited edition in question is "new," it's five model years old and the power-train
warranty is almost gone...I say no more than $60K tops (JMO).

Yep, most peeps (on this forum) know what the Wil Cooksey Limited edition (2008) Z06 looks like. It is a beautiful car....I used to have a screen saver from the one that was sitting in the NCM....(replaced it w/my own car).
Being still on MSO it should command top dollar. Especially with the mileage....sounds like this one (yours) needs to become part of a Vette collection given it is what you are saying.
This forum and that auction site WITH RESERVE placed on it as well as Auto Trader might be good as well. Get it on the internet so you have a world wide audience....
If I were a collector....it's one I would keep in collection especially since it still on MSO.....(manufacturer statement of origin-needed to title any new car).
As it ages and remains that way (MSO), it command top dollar as time goes on. I do not know if it would sell at 70k but, it is a limited edition and given your only owner and it's NOT been titled....
I would love to have it.

My father bought it new and recently gave it me. I live in Scottsdale. The Z06 is in my father's garage in Pinetop.

Yes, but this one has NEVER been titled, still on MSO. It's a perfect car for a collection.
But, I do NOT think it would bring anywhere near 70k as OP mentioned. I would start at 62k and go from there, settling at near 60k if need be.
OP,
Can we ask why you want to part w/your pristine Z06 on MSO???? Obviously, it was not a dd and must have been in your private collection.

Actually, since all 427 Edition Z06's were 3LZ cars with chrome wheels and CRM paint the current MSRP for a similarly equipped new Z06 would be in the very high 80s and after a deep discount would still be in the mid to upper 70s if you could buy one new. So the question for a buyer would be what do they want, and is it this special edition car. It is a beautiful car.
