Default 08 Z06 Blk A&A Rebuilt Engine

5/21 UPDATE:
I've added copies of the engine build receipts along with the receipts for the heads. AHP added their Ti valves after the initial charge which you can see in the correspondence. I've also included the receipts for the cooling system upgrades, suspension rebuild and some other misc stuff.
I'm going to try and get her down off the storage lift in the next two weeks so I can clean her up and take some better pictures.

3/20 UPDATE:
After digging through the receipts it appears the motor has around 4,??? miles on it since being rebuilt. I will be pulling her off the storage lift and clean her up this weekend and verify exact current mileage which is around 79k. I'll update this thread with better pictures and more details about everything done to it.

Price is $45k as it sits with everything but open to selling for less if I remove parts. Worst case scenario is I would sell off the motor and supercharger setup and put a new LS7 in it to keep as a daily. I don't need the money and my motivation is to not keep vehicles around that I cannot either load up and take to the track or drive legally on the road in California. This Z sits in the middle and I don't want to take it to full track spec so either it goes or it gets converted back to road legal. Also, willing to trade for other cars or trucks.

I bought this car in 2017 with 5?,000k miles on it. I am the 6th owner and it has a clean CA title but I have it registered non op since April 2022.

Immediately after I bought it I put a A&A V3 kit on it with AHP heads and had it tuned by Shawn Church on 91.

The A&A bolt on setup heat soaked really bad so we made some significant modifications to the cooling system and after that I didn't ever feel the car pull power again. You can see the fabrication here: https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...06-v3-kit.html

I beat the living hell out of it for the next 15k miles and she never gave me a single problem. Around 2020 I took it to A&A and they did a complete engine rebuild with lower compression pistons, new AHP maxed out heads ($6k with their Ti valves) installed by A&A, T trim blower, fuel system etc... Andy tuned the car with his "break in tune" which made 760 wheel on Church's dyno on 91. After about 1,500 miles on the break in tune I parked it and never actually took it back to Andy for a follow up tune because to be honest 760 on a street tire was already too much. Shortly after I lost interest, filed it non op and it's been parked ever since. I've have been starting it up every few months.

The suspension has been removed, powder coated and everything was replaced including hubs and bushings (Vansteel). A lot of work was done while the motor was out like the clutch, starter, power steering etc.

Paint is 7.5 out of 10
Interior is 9.5 out of 10

Car is straight with no accidents other than when I backed into the driver door with one of my other cars :P

Long term goal was to finish with drivetrain upgrades, strip the interior and go full cage with aero and enter time attack. Didn't follow through because the car just seemed way too clean to tear it apart and I have a S2000 & EVO that are already setup for TA in multiple classes.

Only issue other than cosmetic stuff is a gear whine sound that is on and off. I am unsure if it's a bearing in the torque tube or in the trans. Shifts and drives good otherwise.

I have receipts for everything and can show documented mileage since rebuild along with dyno graph. Car is located in Gardena Ca and WILL NOT pass smog.

I'll work on getting it cleaned up and some better pictures but here is what I have for now:

What is the price? I'm almost certain that cars for sale on this forum are required to list a price.

I keep telling myself to stop looking at black cars for sale... but this would look good next to my black Camaro and black STI hatch.
