Default Long shot but do you know this car

It's a 2004 commemorative z06 with 12k miles. It was from Tom's River, NJ. Just wondering if anyone knows who owned this car. I bought it and I'd like to buy the stock rims if they still have them. Also does anyone have an extra set of OEM graphics?

Looks good with the black rims, any reason why the right side of the hood is open?
Enjoy your new ride.

They leave them open to jump start them.

The driver that picked it up said it wasn't but you never know. I'll find out Monday when it gets delivered.

Good luck with the car - I'd bet that Vette Stripes could set you up with the decals.

I'd caution ANYONE from buying ANYTHING from this area without a thorough once over.

You have to look at the bright side you don't have to worry about driving in the rain. It's like going to Vegas is just gambling. On a serious note does anyone know who owned this car? The driver that picked it up said the keys were missing. It sure would be nice to get the spare set.

Post it in the North East section to see if anyone recognizes the car.
It appears to me to be Electron Blue, not LeMans Blue. What's the VIN?

Those could be the factory wheels that have been painted/powder coated. Good luck.

Never mind just that area, our local news here in NC did a story of these Sandy cars making their way to this market. And the cars are being re-titled and all to throw consumers off......

Be careful if you're in the market for a used car on the east coast...

Unbelievable

Now that I look at the pic a bit closer,...isn't that a '03 50 year badge on the nose of that Electron Blue car? And wasn't LeMans blue the color that replaced EB for the '04 year? Smells fishy in more ways than one.
I hope I'm wrong, and I wish you the best of luck.
