FS - 2002 Electron Blue / Black Interior Corvette Coupe Z51 6MT - Loaded - Low miles It's time to let my dream car go. I will be going back to school full time so I need to sell this.
I'm going to try an be as descriptive as possible with this post so please READ THE ENTIRE POST, as most questions should be answered in it...
This car is one of more rare/hard to find combos for coupes. Why? You ask...
Here's the breakdown... Per Corvette Black Book...
Of all 2002-2003 Corvette coupes in Electron Blue (roughly 3300)...
About 1/3 had a black interior (others were light oak and grey)...
Of those (roughly 1100), 40% at maximum - likely closer to 30-35% were 6 speed cars...
Of those (roughly 330-440) even less - I don't have exact figures - have the Z51 suspension package...
And I'm sure even less of those have ALL the factory options as my car does (besides both tops - My car has a GLASS top ONLY).
So you can see, it's easily figured out that this car is probably 1 of less than 250 equipped this way.
Moving On...
Info about the car...
Bought in March of 2009 with 29k miles on the odometer from the original owner (Currently has 40,6xx Miles)
Factory options (Pretty much all options but both tops but I'll list em, copied from Corvette Registry)...
-1SC Package includes...
* Custom Adjustable Sport Bucket Seats
* Power Passenger Seat
* Dual Zone Electronic Air Conditioning
* Front Fog Lamps
* Drivers Memory Package
* Rear Luggage Shade/Parcel Net
* Electrochromic Inside & Left Side Outside Mirrors
* Head Up Display
* Twilight Sentinel
* Power Telescoping Steering Column
-Memory Package
-Power 6-Way Driver Seat
-Child Seat Tether
-Parcel Net
-Floor Mats
-Removable Roof Panel Blue Tint
-Deluxe High Polish Wheel
-Stereo System Delco-Bose with CD
-Remote Compact Disk Changer (All Models)
-Selective Real Time Damping, Electronic (F45)
-Sport Suspension (FE3)
-Performance Handling Package Includes...
* Larger Diameter Sway Bars Than Previous Years
* (Included With FE3 Sports Suspension)
* Power steering fluid cooler
-Six Speed Manual Transmission
The car IS modified, very lightly but with the idea of being VERY capable in mind. Modifications are as follows...
Engine...
-Vararam Intake with Powerduct (most recent version)
-Kooks 1 7/8in Long tube headers
-Kooks 3in Catless X-pipe
-Magnaflow Stinger 3in exhaust
-Custom Dyno tune... 350whp and 345wtq
Wheels/Tires/Suspension...
-Factory Polished Y2K thin spoke wheels
-Nitto NT-05 tires F/R
-Carbotech Brake Pads ... XP10 in Front XP-8 in rear (stock pads will be included with the sale if you'd like to have them for the street)
-Zip Corvette lowering bolt kit F/R
-MOTUL RBF600 DOT4 fluid for brakes and clutch slave cyl
Interior/Exterior...
-5% Window Tint
-Pioneer DEH-P710BT headunit - CD/MP3 player with DIRECT iPod and USB interface
I have ALL stock parts besides the stock H-pipe, cat-back, and CD Player.
The car is in VERY good shape. It is garage kept. And I am a professional detailer so the car is very well maintained on the outside.
I'd give the interior a 9/10 and the same for the exterior. The only thing I might suggest a new owner do is get the front tires replaced, which would be about $300 or less. The rears are fine and have more than 50% tread left. Otherwise the car needs no work and is turn key. PA Inspection is good til 3/10
There is a lien on the car however my credit union holds the title and they are all of 10 minutes away so getting the title is not an issue.
Price is $22,000 Firm - If you would like the car with no headunit (if you have your own or simply don't want mine) I will sell it for $21,750 Firm.
If you have any questions you are encouraged to EMAIL as opposed to PM, emails come to my phone so I can reply MUCH faster than on the forum. I'm only on this forum every other day or so.

in short, the car is hard to find. I saw ONE other EB coupe at Carlisle this year and it was a grey interior with an automatic. Funny thing tho, they actually made MORE Z06s in this color (like 8k of em or something ridiculous). So Z06s are common, coupes aren't
Anyways ... bump

Nice car however I was thinking it was a z06 myself. Lol
Gl on the sale. Price seems a little steep but I guess it hit or miss. Some go for alot and some go for a little. Depends on the buyer I suppose.

To answer the z06 inferences...
they made 3 times as many z06s in this color - theyre simply not hard to find.
Coupes in EB however, are extremely hard to find with a black interior and a 6 speed, let alone ALL other options

nice car, but rarity does not even come close to a Z06, if it was a Z06 and then was a rare color/optioned, I could understand the higher asking price.. But a rare color/optioned BASE car is not that big of deal...Good luck with sale, might have better luck in the vette forums...

While I appreciate the free bump Im gonna have to tell you that you're incorrect. Check the corvette black book if you like but since z06s were only made in the racier colors like blue and red and black none of them are rare because they were made in mass amounts in each color that they were made in - All had the same color interiors as well. Electron blue z06s for example were in the 9000 plus range.
Also people might have argued about the price before when it was 24k obo however 22k for an 02 coupe thats loaded with 40k miles isn't overpriced, Rare color combo or not.
Not to mention it's not a BASE - it's a Z51

Nice car, but yes a little steep.
Every car could be considered rare or unique. Yes, there were only 1/3 of the EB coupes made with blk interior. The other 1/3 would be oak and the other 1/3 would be grey. So that would make those color combos just as rare....
See what im saying?
Either way, clean ride.

When you add that all together, you'd be had pressed to find another equipped the same way. I looked a loooong time before I found it.
Thanks
