FS/FT- 2002 Z06 american heroes corvette
The car has just under 13,000 miles on the odometer.
The previous owner was inspired to have the car made after the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, and airbrushed homages to America adorn the custom Corvette Z06. The text on the back of the car reads "Let's roll," a phrase used by one of the passengers of United Airlines flight 93 as they decided to re-take the plane from terrorist control.
Under the hood is an airbrushed copy of the iconic photo showing the American flag being raised over the rubble of the twin towers.
Each of the branches of the US military is represented on the back end of the car, and the hood depicts an eagle and fighter planes flying over the desert.
The engine cover of the Corvette Z06's 405-horsepower V8 is also signed by Adrian Cronauer, who served as a military radio host during the Vietnam War and was the inspiration for the Robin Williams movie Good Morning Vietnam.
This car is often asked to participate in parades, and those have been some of his fondest memories with the Corvette. A sound system was specially made to play music out of the Corvette's trunk during parades.
When a touring version of the Vietnam War Memorial visited Kentucky, This corvette was invited to lead the group into town, and the Corvette was displayed along side the wall while it was up.
This car has entered many car shows with and has won a slew of awards and cash.
The asking price for this Corvette is $35,900, which is higher than the Kelley Blue Book estimated value for a 2002 Z06. But this is no normal 'Vette, and it can be difficult to place a value on heavily customized cars - particularly when it comes to displaying your patriotic pride.
This car is located in northern Kentucky. This car is for sale or for trade. Trade would include any automobile pre-1970. Please ask any questions.

I have attached a few more photos. This car also comes with over 200 magazines(featured in my machine magazine) and posters. Also included is a canopy with sign and car cover. I have had an offer of a fully restored 1965 ford mustang and $3000, but I'm not ready to accept that yet. My cash firm price is $31,900. Which is a steal considering there has been over $25000 in custom work on this car. If you have any questions please ask. Thank you

this has some really cool graphics and def one of a kind, but it would take a special buyer as this is not your every day race car....people that drive Z06's don't go to this extend with graphics and air brushing...be patient and someone will def come along and pick it up. good luck
