First, the car has been converted with SOME Z06 parts, not a full conversion.
Second, while it has a lot of "go fast" parts, I have no idea as to the build quality.
Third, I have no idea when the build was done.
Fourth, I have no idea what your intended use may be.
Fifth, $25,000.

No doubt the current owner has sunk a ton of money into the car. Not practical as a daily style driver. Motor is more track than street. It is a parts breaker. Push it on sticky tires and the changes of something breaking are fairly high. I am thinking of rear end and axle shafts. I would classify this buy as one made with ***** rather than the brain. $30K would be my number. Good luck

So basically it's a clone. I probably wouldn't give over 23K for it.

It is just a clone with an unknown rebuild quality. Treat it as an 07 Corvette so around $25k tops.

With all those mods I might go a few thousand to part it out on ebay. As a car to drive I wouldn't chance giving the time of day. Obviously the owner has thrown a lot of money but not a lot of thought at a poser rather than just buying a Z06. Looking at all the "new/rebuilt" parts, evidently it couldn't take the thrashing the owner expected and so now it is for sale. RUN, FOREST, RUN!

Add a set of blackout headlight decals to match that dark windshield and you've got a winner!!

For one thing, it will be very difficult to get it state inspected if your state requires an inspection (some do, some don't). I'd give $15k-$18k, unless you have some paperwork on who did the engine work and when it was done.

Due to this being a 'clone' by an unknown (skill-wise) builder (s), I wouldn't touch it. That being said, I wouldn't put the value any higher then the average of what a base 2007 is going for, if that much.

Yeah, I agree with the other posters that there are too many unknowns with this car although the owner did dump some serious $$$ into the mods. Typically, modded Corvettes don't bring much more $$$ than a stock one would bring

For what he’s asking,you can get a “ real “ 2007/2008 Z06 with around 25k Miles (Car Gurus)
Insuring a modded car can be an issue,you’ll have to purchase supplemental coverage,as standard policy’s generally only give a 1000 dollar allowance for mods
I’d pass

If you want a z06, buy a z06 for this price.....not a clone.


Just my opinion

Couldn't agree more. The price is approaching Z06 territory. No sense in getting a fake Z06 at this price.

I would definitely buy a real Z06 instead of that car. I would offer $25k tops. You might be spending quite a bit of money to keep it running.

I would not buy that car. With all those mods, the likelihood that it will have problems is very high. Lots of nice C6 Vettes out there with a lot less risk involved.
