Was shopping for a Z06 and this caught my eye.

I would not consider it a deal. While it looks pretty in the pics, the price seems to be in the ballpark for an automatic, non original motor 66 with a 67 hood and in need of carpeting. If it runs well and isn't rusty it's worth mid to high 30's. Obviously it would need to be inspected in person by someone knowledgeable of mid years.

No, stick with your first search for a Z06, better car for same money than this one

Unless I misunderstood, I dont think the OP was trying to decide between this and his original target of a Z06... it just looks like he's passing this along thinking it might be an interesting buy for someone?

Its not a screaming deal, but for someone on a budget, a red midyear roadster who doesnt mind an automatic and understands the mismatch year parts, its not a bad buy in the mid $30s.

Drive the wheels off of it. Not a terrible risk as long as it passes a rust/frame/body inspection.

The car presents very well (at least on the website), but seems a little pricey for a non-original car. There is absolutely nothing wrong with non-original cars or cars that have been modified, but this car seems over priced to me by $5-10K.

In my experience the folks who answer these threads always respond with what the car is worth to them rather than what the market price is. Huge difference....

That being said I think they will get close to their asking price in the current market.

Not saying it's worth $40k BUT..........I doubt that anyone here would list it for less than $40k if they were trying to sell it.

Very few mid year convertibles sell under 40k. Usually the cars in the sub 40k category have more of a story than NOM... (cut fenders is usually the biggest factor to get a mid year under 40k) and the bottom dollar cars are almost always 64's.

My guess is they get near asking price based on the current market. Autos are getting more and more desirable as well. plus they didn't make many autos to begin with.

Correct. I am trying to broker a deal on an on '07 Z06 and no nothing about C2 values. I thought it might be a good deal for someone.
I know when the time comes to get my C1/C2, I need neither engine nor trans. Just a trusty LS based motor and T56

I shopped for mid-year for several months, and while that specimen is non-original, it looks like a very nice driver.

I'm thinking that 40K is where negotiation starts, not where it sells.

Mine was listed for 40K also, but it sold for a bit less, almost 10% less.

Of course, the price would depend on what an in-depth inspection reveals.

While I wish the market for these cars was cheaper, that's not what I saw while shopping for mine.
