So.... not a vette guy, but I’m a car guy. My brothers neighbor passed away recently and I have the opportunity to buy his Z. One owner.....and 200k miles lol. He drove this thing everywhere - cross-country road trips, going for 250mi drives with the dog, etc. Apparently he was fanatical about maintenance and upkeep, though.
It has some high-end shocks/struts ($5k? JRZ, had to look them up), RPM trans, McLeod RXT and alum flywheel, new torque tube, etc. Bigger radiator. Sounds like all engine stuff / exhaust is stock.
She’s asking $10k. I figure the car has totally depreciated at this point, so I can turn around and sell in a year or two if it’s not scratching that itch.
I have an 03 Cobra, so drag stuff is taken care of. It’s tempting to buy this, do heads/cam/longtubes, and have a car that I can take on road trips, etc. I know some of you guys have owned C5 Z’s - any thoughts? How concerned should I be with that amount of mileage? Any problem areas to look for? Should I do it?
Thanks
Phil
