Hey guys. I can confirm, it's NOT sale pending. Some goofball on ebay made offer, then after it was accepted. He called the next day and blamed it on his brother in prison. �� pm me if you're interested in the car.

Huh? Brother in prison? That's strange - its usually "the wife" who is the excuse for deadbeat buyers.

It's probably not a bad deal at all, but unless you just want to have a rare car (mind you one that runs pretty good), its hard to justify a Z/28 when the 2017 1LE just matched it (or beat it I forget) around Laguna Seca. You get a lot more features with the 1LE.

Ill preface this by saying I am not a Z28 fan and I just dont get the appeal(not a track guy) so I would agree with you unless you were actually tracking the car. That same 1Le would be 10 seconds behind that Z28 after 3 laps due to brake fade.

That is a good point that I overlooked.

Many of the pre-production (VIN starts in 699---) were thrashed as test vehicles, , press vehicles or otherwise abused. Then sold off in late 2014 at the GM auction.
This one however looks to be pretty cherry and pampered. And also looks to be a/c equipped.

I am glad that prices on these have settled down some. Whether $50k is a good price or starting point for negotiations remains to be seen.

What evidence do you have that a car that no one even owns yet brake fades after 3 laps? Just wondering. I can do 30 mins on Watkins Glen in my 1LE with stock set up (race pads though) and no braje fade at all. Why would the Gen 6 brake fade?

All the options!
I remember Sunday morning TV commercials, "Radio! Heater! Whitewalls!"

It's an OK Deal. Last Fall during the 20% Off Sale, there was a New Z/28 at a local Dealership that could have been had for $50k

I remember buying a loss leader Chevy truck off an Ad that didn't have air, radio, automatic, or a rear bumper.

Salesman was trying to bait and switch me into something higher priced. I said , nope, give me the truck in the ad.

The test driver for Motor Trend commented that the 6th gen 1LE did have some fade, as well as a twitchy throttle, which actually kept the car from placing higher.
