It’s understandable why people are hesitant to pay over MSRP for a car that is unlikely to appreciate significantly in value. The modern Z06, for example, isn’t considered a collectible. While the 70th Anniversary Edition might be an exception, an “everyday spec” like this 2024 Coupe 2LZ isn’t.
This Torch Red 2024 Coupe 2LZ, with carbon-fiber ground effects, features a removable roof panel, LED headlights, a backup camera, side air intakes, rear parking sensors, and black-finished 20” and 21” alloy wheels with staggered-width Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires and red-painted calipers.
The owner from Westport Addition, Indiana, recently refused an offer of $120,000, even though the car originally cost $130,225 and has only 2,100 miles on it. Perhaps the bidders, likely Knicks fans, were influenced by their team’s loss to the Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference semi-finals.
The Pacers’ decisive Game 7 victory against the Knicks set up a Conference finals showdown with the Boston Celtics.
Returning to the car, the interior boasts Jet Black leather GT1 bucket seats (heated, ventilated, and power-adjustable), contrast stitching, keyless entry, a Performance Data Recorder, dual-zone automatic climate control, cruise control, a Bose sound system, a head-up display, and a heated, leather-trimmed steering wheel. It also includes active safety features such as Lane-Keep Assist, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, Side Blind-Zone Alert, and Forward Collision Alert.
Additionally, the sale includes a Corvette C8.R livery car cover, likely to delight the next owner. Under the hood, this Z06 has a mid-mounted 5.5-liter flat-plane LT6 V8 engine, producing 670 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque, all directed to the rear wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission.
