History:
I purchased the car on February 20th, 2015 from the original owner out in Sierra Vista, AZ. He is an older retired vet with no kids and purchased it for weekend and nice day cruises. Upon purchase he had 3m Scotchguard Paint Protection Film professionally applied to half the hood, front fenders, full bumper, mirrors, and door cups. It was precut film on the plotter so there are no razor cuts in the paint. The front end is essentially flawless and rock chip free.
It had 31,585 miles on the clock when I started the journey back home to Albuquerque, NM. As of today, it now has 38,255 miles. I do drive the thing, so mileage will increase slightly.
No accidents and I have Carfax Report on hand showing all oil changes through Dealer before it changed hands. It had been to the Dealer years ago for a fog light replacement after the original owner hit a tire on the highway and it cracked the passenger side lamp. The 3m PP Film protected the bumper from any damage and only left a slight scuff on the film. Other than that, it hasn't seen the Dealer or any mechanic for any mechanical issue or service. I have changed the oil once with Amsoil oil and filter shortly after bringing her home and recently did another on 1/22/16 @ 38,198 miles.
I searched long and hard for a super clean C6 that met all my OCD requirements. The only thing I wanted that I didn't get was Black paint, so I settled for White. I didn't care for fancy options like heated seats etc. It needed black leather, stick, under 50k miles, one owner, clean history with service documentation, desert car etc... so The black paint wasn't much of an issue after finding this one. I believe the car is 1LT with Z51 Handling package. I think that includes obvious suspension components and drilled rotors. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Not like the car needed a thorough cleaning, as it was extremely well kept, but I'm real big on surface protection and very **** about car care so...
As soon as the car was brought home, all paint and glass got clay bar'd and sealed. It has since been clayed and sealed on 4 separate occasions. The car was just recently polished for the first time in it's life and sealed with CarPro's ReLoad sealant applied to all surfaces. Wheels were removed, cleaned and protected as well. Calipers were swapped with powdercoated "Candy Blue" units because the old ones were and eye-sore IMHO. Before install, they were airbrush coated thick with CQuart Finest coating and baked under IR lamp heat.
Even when dirty, the paint, glass, wheels and calipers bead water relentlessly and shed dirt and grime easily when washed. Leather was cleaned and coated 3x with CQuartz Leather coating to prevent future damage.
I purchased a ZR1 dual mode axleback for some noise as stock pipes are quite embarrassing and look funny to say the least. ZR1 pipes sound great but I still have stock pipes and they will go with the car. I also purchased a set of Z06 Arctic White widebody rear fenders but never got around to installing them because I was considering listing for sale and didn't want to put a couple thousand more into wheels etc. Jeremy from Superior Customs tinted the Tails and side markers and they turned out beautiful. If stock red tail and side markers are preferred, I can have them swapped out with ease. The halo was wrapped gloss black to match the transparent Targa Top and look a little more unique to all the other vettes around town. Halo vinyl can be easily removed if it does not suit your taste. Stock badges have gloss black vinyl on them too, but this can also be easily reversed if desired. Car was lowered on stock suspension but can be raised back to stock ride height. I had my tint guy install darker tint because we get tons of sun here and it's nice when people can't see inside your car.
Sadly, I haven't enjoyed this car like I should have. Never been to the track, raced, etc etc. The Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus tires have never been broken loose and still have loads of tread on them.
**No smoke and mirrors or surprises here... Just a super well maintained and unabused vette. Car will be detailed prior to sale and needs nothing but a new owner**
The Bad: ...Or should I say Minor...
- Driver's seat has worn a bit from original owner not entering and exiting correctly... All wear has been completely stopped from the CQuartz coating.
- Hood needs clamp to stay open (been like that since I bought it)
- Driver's side rear wheel has light scuffs from inexperienced tech removing old rubber and mounting Michelin's
Unfortunately this is all the time I have at the moment, but promise to add more info and photos as soon as time permits.
In the mean time, I'll leave you with some photos...
When I brought her home:
Before lowered, before ZR1 Exhaust, & before darker tint:
Interior:
Others:
Most Recent: With darker tint, ZR1 Pipes, and lowered
Thanks for looking!
