Why not just sell it and buy a real Z06? Wouldnt have been around the same price and have a higher resale value?
The same reason you didn't buy a finished car. The thirty thousand dollar difference means he can build the car the way he wants it, and, not pay the Z-06 insurance rates. I can assume that resale value was not a consideration here primarily and I am concerned with folks who focus on resale value in these times and in this hobby. I never build a car with resale value in mind. That means I am primarily building it for someone else and not for me. If I decide to sell and whomever wants it bad enough agrees to pay my price, then so be it. I can assure you, a lot of work has gone into this dudes car and I tip my hat to him with no questions asked and no second guessing.
