Yellow Z's will not be collectors cars, even the ones with Mod/Red.
I know what I want, I've owned 3 of these, and two of the were seriously modded, one was somewhat famous.
Not looking for a 15K beater.

Here is the ad on ls1tech. http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/vehicl...-z06-sale.html

I think if (if) I bought an 01 I would take it to my tuner for H and C anyway.
Waiting on two answers tomorrow. Plan to have a car by next weekend!

mr. kelly is a euphemism for KBB,
they do not sell cars.the only true guide is the black book.nice cars do not make to the show(auction)very often.so find one and build it yourself.get it right.
i like some others started with a low millage pristine car and modded it.if i had it to do over i would have lowered my sights.i am at the $50k point of no return and would never sell for kbb value.a c5 coupe can be had for 12,000 dollars.just make it the way YOU want.there is allot of help on this forum.i could not have made it with out.
and yes this is my first ls car.i was into 2nd gen f body's(nothing famous) with 455's.when the SD cars hit 30k i went this way.it was time for me to learn about something more than HEI.
we will see on the MY,most special order paint codes bring up demand down the road if not over built.it was 629 MY z06 for 04,last year produced,@3100lbs. the lightest, highest HP for series c5.
get something and come down for CRUISE N THE COAST

Car's that stickered for $2000 are bringing $100,000. If that was the case with a "rare" Z06, they will be selling for $2.5 million in 35 years???

Picked the car up yesterday and drove it home from Mass. Runs and handles perfect, all original and in near perfect condition.
Apparantly several guys had Snipe bids in and I guess I just got lucky. My fourth C5 Z, first one in Silver!
Thanks to all those who sent me links to sales.

I have an 04 silver/black Z06 with 28K on it. It has exhaust and C6 polished wheels with good tires. Still have the stock wheels to go with it. Other than that it is stock and in excellent condition. Sits in the garage most of the time. If you have any interest PM me and I will get some pictures for you.
