The differences between the cars and the track times are well known and are not learned in 300 miles. Just what we know here, Nice car! GLWTS!

Wow people are willing to pay one hell of a premium because Dale Jr signed it? Yikes! Good luck with the sale in any event.

I'm not sure what people are willing to pay but I had to put a $ number on it. I've only driven it about a half mile. I know very little about Corvettes other than the fact that I've always loved them. I believe that this forum is the best place to get some advice. Once the covered transport gets it to it's location it will not be driven prior to sale.

I see. Yeah personally that's a bit too steep. I realize that the air of someone famous driving it and signing it probably adds value but the biggest issue I see right now is the huge discounts around currently from dealers. Either way it's still an awesome car!

...for a car like this, what it be worth?

My hope is that you guys can sit around a campfire and say that we helped that Dum#-*** sell his car back in 2018.

I don't have any way to know how much value it adds having a celebrity sign/own it. To me - honestly, it would be very little. But I'm not "star-struck". As a corporate pilot I've flown many famous people - they are just people.

I would have to agree with the other poster that 63-65K range. Again I don't know how to value the Dale thing..

I hear you guys. But a car that listed for $93,300 as equipped is only worth $60K with less than 300 miles? That really makes you want to invest in any car...

I get your point. I really do. However, it IS a used vehicle - regardless of mileage. Check out the new C7 dealer inventory and see how much they are discounting brand new ones - they simply can't sell them. They lose a ton of value the first year.

Personally I'm shopping for something like this - a used car that is so close to new you can't tell - because I simply don't want to lose the 25% first year drop in value. But I am not interested in automatic.

Again - I know it has some star-power to it but I don't know who values that or how to value it.

This car just needs to be advertised in front of the populous of Dale Jr fans. Is there a D Jr facebook/fangroup or something that you could post it on? That would be the place to market this car. If the car stickered at 93k, post on there for that price and see how it goes. You're going to come out ahead in the long run.

The thing is that dealers are selling them at huge discounts and only fools are paying full sticker price for these cars these days. So 93k cars aren't really selling for near that much. Also winter is fast approaching and guess what car gets more discounted in the winter...

$25 for the ticket so it would be 40x

I'll need to break it gently to the Wife of 36 years that we'll have to keep it.
I want to keep this car but it offers too many opportunities as we get closer to retirement.It would have been great to win something like this in my 30's.

I agree- but every FS car always posts the sticker - but nobody really pays it

This car was not owned by Dale Earnhardt Jr personally. There's a guy trying to sell a ZO6 owned by Dale Earnhardt Jr personally and he hasn't been able to sell it for 6 months. Good luck selling it.

I agree completely! I’m sure there are fans who would pay a premium to get a car that he “owned” and drove. Great suggestion! I’d buy it because it’s yellow!

So you cruised up Camelback Mountain?



I failed to get into the glove box to see if had a window sticker, I'll find out soon enough. GM build sheets are confusing but this site helps:
