Car #4 had an MSRP of $95,670 so that price is 27.6% off MSRP. I don't see how the deal was done, if it was sold as "new" or not, but I put it in the used tab listing on the registry to show that it sold. It doesn't show in the listing how many miles were on it.
Not sure what they used it for, but agree, that seems lke a good deal. Of the ones I've tracked so far on the used sheet, that is the lowest below MSRP that I can see.

Ken, This car had only 409 miles on it and was never title so it was sold 'as new' with full factory warranty and included the Ron Fellows package. It was basically a GM promo car. They had about 5 cars back to back crossing the block that were GM owned and I think they were all corvettes. The price of 69k includes the 8% buyers fee. Hammer price was around $63,500.

May just be the reflections, but looks like someone swapped the original wheel centercaps with different ones.

Interesting, it looks like the car was originally delivered to San Jose, CA. Guessing the dealer did a trade of some sort and it ended up in your backyard. Was meant to be!

Thanks! Yea it does look more aggressive at the front. The stage 3 on the front and rear will provide some nice extra downforce at the track so, its functional and looks good (at least I think so lol).

Stones?
Has anyone had this experience? I have the factory carbon fiber rear spoiler with the wicker bill and the Z07 package with Cup 2 tires. After driving the car, I noticed a bunch of little tiny rocks from the highway under the spoiler where the drains are. I can blow them out with air but the odd one gets wedged in there and I have to physically remove it. I never drive on gravel roads and the stones are real tiny like the ones that stick the the tires after driving.

I'm wondering if a guy could put a very small piece of weatherstrip in there to stop the rocks from wedging in? I would imagine with the air moving on that spoiler at different speeds that there is a little bit of movement and the rocks are probably scratching the paint etc. in that area. I thought if you pushed a little bit of black foam weatherstrip in there you would never see it and it could be easily removed to wash etc.?

Speaking of rocks, I replaced the splash guards on all wheels and when I removed the rear ones there were tons of little rocks crammed in there where there is a seam behind the rear wheels. Hopefully the wider guard will prevent some of that

It's funny you say that ...I just looked at mine and they are the factory style "mud flap' which are a little wider. I have a bunch of rocks in behind them as well and the front fender spats (wheel arch moldings) which I changed to carbo fiber also have little rocks along the tops in a few places. They shake right out when I tap the molding but nonetheless they are stuck in there!
