Default 2003 Torch Red Supercharged Z06 - Low Miles, Clean, Unique

SOLD!

I purchased a new 09 Cyber Gray C6 Coupe last week, so my 2003 Torch Red Supercharged Z06 has to go to make room.

This car really must be seen to appreciate. It is a real head turner and gets a lot of attention on the road and at car shows and cruise nights. I will attempt to list everything on the car here, but I'm sure I will miss something.

The current mileage is 18,8XX. I won't be putting many, if any miles on the car for the foreseeable future.

I am asking $33,500.

I know the middle of winter isn't the ideal time to sell a Corvette in Chicago, but I figured I would try to sell it now due to the new car purchase. If it doesn't sell, I will just hold off and re-list it in the spring instead of giving it away.

I hold the clean Illinois title for the car. The car passed Illinois smog testing in July.

Absolutely no trades considered, unless you want to do an even trade for 2010 ZR1.

Let me know if you have any questions.

I can PERSONALLY VOUCH for this car as Frank is a friend of mine and I have seen this vehicle COUNTLESS TIMES!

The car is drop dead gorgeous, very unique, and perfectly tastefully modded in the looks department and with that sweet chromed maggie, with all the right supporting bolt on mods, and set-up nice and conservative for a very long life and reliability, and instant performance and TORQUE when you hit the go fast petal (and those maggies sound so bad azz at wot)!.

I would also say that Frank pampered this car and it was very well maintained and not abused at all,and was modified and tuned by some of the best LS tuners in the Chicago area!

This beauty will pop soon and sell itself, winter or no winter!

I would also like to add that Im a personal friend of Franks and this car is maintained to the 9's.... its perfect and has been owned by a true enthusiast. There are "0" dissapointments to be had with this car. Frank is an honest standup guy so if you are considering buying this car or suggesting it to a friend I can say without a doubt you are dealing with a true and honest gentleman

Good Luck with your sale Frank and once again CONGRATS on your new C6

It would be worth traveling to IL to check it out (well, once the weather breaks so you could drive it home).

Frank put a lot of work into this car - it sounds fantastic, has great performance, looks bad ***, and has the creature comforts done right. And Frank has always been meticulous about caring for it.

Whoever gets this one should is going to love it.

As others here, I can vouch for this car and guy too. The car looks even better in person even if Frank doesn't

The car is SOLD!

A guy came down from Michigan in the middle of a snow storm, paid cash, loaded it on a trailer and took it away.

CONGRATS Frank, really happy for you! Craigslist comes through again as that is where the buyer came from (no low ball tire kicker, but a man who knew what he wanted and jumped on it b/f someone else did as that car was Awesome)!!


Congrats also to new owner who got ONE SWEEEETTTTT Z!

Great cars sell themselves if priced right and Craigslist is an incredible medium to sell anything, as most buyers focus on something that is geographically convenient to grab, and none of the common that you always hear "if only this car was located closer to my home"
