A Z buddy was in S Calif for a vacation in April. He stopped off at one of the C&C's there and took a few pics. I put a couple of dozen in the Gallery for your veiwing pleasure. http://www.midwestscc.com/photos.php?album=134

Here are a few hi-lites.

I would not recommend buying that Pantera. It's been in some kind of accident and the chassis is very warped. The hood and roof line are at different angles, and the door frame is bent, leaving a 1" gap between the window and frame. I've been told that Ray intends to fix it, but it has a very sorted history. Supposedly it was shipped back from Hawaii and was owned by some millionaire that was busted for tax evasion, etc etc..

I am seeing c6 Zo6 go for $50 - 60k on ebay with 3-6k miles on them. Roughly $55k for a Z06 would be a hell of a deal. My dad recently sold his with under 3000 miles and it was immaculate from head to toe. Not even a scratch under the front plastic. It went for $59,000 on ebay.
To me a slightly used Z06 is the best deal out there right now.
