So, how strong is the market for these amongst people who prefer a front-engined C7?

As a late model Vette, I’d guess pretty strong. There’s always a market for older Vettes if they’re priced correctly.

That’s what I wonder. For the right buyer, would this look like a chance to get one almost brand new?

S ure but 75% of Corvettes have similar mileage and are in similar pristine condition. They’re almost all garage queens.

The C7s are looking better everyday, especially as I see more C8s on the road.

But ill take a C6Z06 please.  Or a C5Z if the budget won’t allow.  :)

KBB retail is $44k. Probably why it’s priced as it is.

Maybe when he bought it, but not any more going by the ad.

So not outrageous but definitely not the final selling price.

I took it the opposite way - he can't stop himself from flooring it everywhere and doesn't use cruise control, so he has to sell it and buy something slower to actually get himself to drive slower

Nope, that’s just a starting point.

As l ong as you don’t mind the smell of mothballs...

Yank two plug wires off? That’ll slow down Grandpa Go-Go.
