I am in Richmond, BC, Canada.

Car has clean history.
I can provide the VIN if you wish to do a check.

I bought it from a member on the Forum 2 (almost) years ago.
I do not know the history before that.
I don't believe it was ever tracked or raced, because it was all original when I bought it.
But it is a Perfect car.... I have described pretty much everything about it physically
in my first post.
My wife and I autocrossed it from when we got it in 2016, through 2017....
maybe 20 events, all out here.
Its just been sitting in my garage since last October.

We bought a 2016 Z06 which we are now autocrossing, so the Orange beauty is for sale.
I am willing to answer any more questions.

This is my old car, it is a cream puff! Anyone who looks at this will not be disappointed.

One mod which I believe was left out was the Apsis Front Splash Guards and the Cleartastic Clear Bra Kit on the Fenders and Quarters.

Also, here is the link to my original for sale post on the car with many details and pictures from when I sold it:

Gary is a pleasure to deal with.

Here is more info about the things we have done.....

We (my wife and I) have been autocrossing for 38 years.
We bought the car in August 2016, and got it in September, after shipping, etc.
I bought the Koni shocks, Strano front bar and Ferodo pads after that.
Got the heads work done, and oil pan baffles installed over the winter,
and they also installed the Halltech Superbee Intake.
I bought some Michelin PSS (non runflat) tires and put them on in January of 2017.
I installed the Koni shocks and Strano front bar and Ferodo pads, etc., in February of 2017,
using Motul 600 fluid..
I also installed a longer rear spoiler, and a front splitter (I like the looks).

I bought some extra wheels (Black GS), and some Hoosier A7 tires in January 2017.
and autocrossed it 5 times on those wheels/tires.
It was then I remembered why I hate changing wheels and tires....
because I HATE changing wheels and tires. We then put the Toyo
R888R tires on those wheels in June of 2017, and sold the Hoosier tires.
We then finished the season on the Toyo tires (another 15 events).

I had the Kenwood stereo and backup camera installed in June of 2017.

The clutch work was done in May of 2017.
The "infamous" clutch pedal does not engage the clutch happened to us then.
I thought about installing an after-market clutch, but then decided that for what we
are doing, the GM clutch is just fine.
I am an "all or nothing" guy, so I replaced everything, and added a remote
bleeder.

Sorry for the noob question but does this car need to pass any kind of test or carry import tax if bringing it and titling it in the states, namely, NJ?

No.
The car was constructed in US (Bowling Green), and was originally sold and lived in the US,
before I brought it into Canada.

Migawd, you can't beat this car for this price.

I guess because I'm in Canada, it is scaring people away ?

I'm in calgary and was looking for a AO car like this, but getting picky and wanted the 3zr with chrome wheels or potentially another zr1 project and paint it Orange.. price is good with mods and extras but some people might be put off on the mileage and auto crossing if they want a garage car

... bare in mind we still have a foot of snow and spring is non existent, time of year is bad, give it another month, I'd say shorten your kijiji ad to details just on the car and maybe more recent pics, (extra rims/tires, deck, front/rear spoiler) try autoTRADER too as it's easier to search regionally, should sell at your price watch out for the kijiji trolls, orange is rare up here!
