Default Fake Z06

Global Motors needs some help identifying a car for sale. This car is either the first Z06 convertable with auto tranmission or Global just got ripped by a customer selling them a C6 coupe with Z06 add ons.

LMAO!!! The engine bay pic even shows an LS2. So it's not even a newer C6. Wow, remind me to sell them my car later down the road.

You'd think they would do their research before shelling out the cash for a car like this.

there askin 38k, somebody should go in there and offer em 15, then when they laugh at you, be the nice guy and explain how badly they got fucked when they bought it. Then politely offer them 15k again.

LOL, you would think the fact it is a vert is a dead giveaway that its a fake, but the LS2 valve covers take the cake

Isn't Z06 the RPO code for Z06? So shouldn't you simply be able to show them that Z06 is not on the RPO list?

Unless I'm missing something, the ONLY things Z06 about that car are the badges and rear fenders.

They make conversions, they look awesome. It's a real Z06 with a convertible top spliced in. This car though is a fake. Also when the dealer figures out they will contact the previous owner and make them give some money back. My sister has a 4x4 Escalade with big *** tires and stuff. The used car dealer gave the previous owner cash for an escalade but they ran the codes and it came up as a tahoe. This dealer might be fucked though since they didn't even notice after reading the codes.

F that, would they give you money back if they sold an Escalade to you and you found out it was a Tahoe?

I think they have to, it's somewhere in the fine print, or you could just sue them and end up with five Escalades
