Default 1997 Corvette ZO6 Coversion

1997 Corvette ZO6 Conversion!!!


First things first, PLEASE and I really do mean this, READ THE ENTIRE POST before asking questions.

Where to start? This car is in excellent condition and all of the work listed below was completed by a certified Corvette mechanic from Clay Chevrolet in Newton, MA. The mechanic's name is Gunther and widely known Corvette Mechanic in the Northeast. All of the modifications done to this car are tasteful and by no means a hack job. I have receipts for everything!!!

She is an automatic with bose stereo and a removable glass roof. The car receives Royal Purple engine oil upon every change and as you can tell for an 11 year old car 50k miles is nothing!! (approx.. 4.5k/year) I am the second ADULT owner on the car, which was purchased around 38-40k miles. I am a Corvette fanatic have owned over 20 Vettes in my life and I know how to store them and keep them in pristine shape. This car is always garaged w/ cover and has never seen snow (obviously) and has seen rain probably once in its entire life. The last and most important thing to know is that this car has never been in an accident or hit, but I did have the car painted because I wasn't a fan of the factory paint job. The original color was black I just wanted a nicer paint job done. The paint was done at Clay Chevrolet. Also to note I have I never taken this car to the track and the extent of the aggressive driving is done when merging on the highway for a cruise.

I'd estimate that the car has anywhere from 410-430 hp. Here are the modifications that I have had done: (NOTE: All parts are from Mid America, Ecklers, and GM)

Looking for $20,000 They book is around $16k and the work far exceeds $15k so I think a $20,000 is a reasonable price.
