Coupe
Carbon 65 Edition - No. 171
Ceramic Matrix Grey
7 Speed Manual (I think they only made 55 of these in manual)
3LZ and Z07 (Magna-ride/Carbon Ceramics)
22,800 Miles
Competition Sport Buckets
Black Leather w/ Blue Stitching and Alcantara inserts/accents
Carbon Fiber Roof Panel / Clear Roof and Bag (never used)
Corvette battery tender/bag
Modifications: The suspension/wheels/tires were the biggest expense and biggest improvement to the car. It was a ton of work to get it right, but man is the car flat and actually has improved ride quality due to DSC controller. Drop spindles and sway bars are about $4,000 bucks not including the labor. The wheels speak for themselves, fully forged and super light weight. Wheels and tires were over $10K.
DSC Controller
Turn Down OE Leaf Spring Bolts
LG Motorsports Drop Spindels
LG Motorsports Sway Bars and End-Links
Michelin Pilot Sport ZR (1,300 miles)
Vossen Black Aluminum Lugs
Vossen VS21-01 19" F/20" R
OE TPMS
Performance: Right now the car is simply what I would call OE+. MGW shifter, intake, and exhaust are simple to return to stock, but none are intrusive of have any drawbacks.
Halltech Carbon Intake
Corsa Sport Axle-back w/ Black Tips
MGW Shifter
NGK IX Iridium Spark Plugs
MSD SC Plug Wires
DEI Protect-A-Boots
Exterior: The outside of this car is super dialed in. The paint looks fantastic. If you were going track the car, I would suggest having the coating removed and getting PPF done, but I'm telling you, the exterior of this car is now super legit. This is what I do for a living, making cars look good. This probably the best car that I own in the exterior cleanliness department. The APR Performance Carbon stuff is insanely nice.
Old PPF Removal, Decontamination, 3 Step Paint Correction, Gtechniq CSL/EXO Coating
ACS Composites: Clear Reflector Set Front and Rear and Front Wheel Arch Extensions
APR Performance: Carbon Fiber Hood Vent, Rear Diffuser w/ Undertray Ver. 2, Front Lip and Canards
Black Front and Rear Emblems
Brakes: The brakes are a common concern since they are expensive Carbon Ceramics.
New OE Carbon Ceramics Front
New OE Pads Front and Rear
Lloyds Floor Mats
Clear top w/leather bag
Carbon Ceramic Matrix Grey 😎

Because the 2nd owner has a massive YT channel where he makes $$$$$ so he didn’t factor the mods into it when he listed it for sale here at $75k because he wanted to move it quickly.
Go watch the videos. The mods he did are all top quality and expensive.
Anyway, the market on these is easily up $15k+ on these 65th anniversary Carbons - especially if you want a manual.
The C6 Carbons did the same thing. One forum member had his Inferno Orange Carbon listed at $42k 4 years ago and the same car just sold for $53k last month with 10k+ more miles!
Supply and demand indeed - GLWS OP - you are in the good range and should ask what you want!

Just sold my C65 A8 for over ask that was also $5k more than I wanted last October and probably still not as much as I could have gotten. Best looking C7’s out there and I will not be surprised in 20 years when I see the Mecum prices on these editions. Awesome cars.
