[VIDEO] 70th Anniversary 2023 Corvette Z06 Sells for $247,500 at Mecum Dallas 2023

Chevrolet wrapped up the final builds for the 2023 model year just over a week ago, and the final 70th Anniversary editions rolled off the assembly line. While we don’t have the exact final figures yet for 2023 production’s total, our unofficial tabulating has put the number of 70th Anniversary Z06s just north of 1,000 units.

One of these 70th Anniversary Corvette Z06s was offered on Saturday during the Mecum Dallas 2023 auction and it ended up selling for big money. This 70th Anniversary was a Z06 Coupe wearing VIN 084 and it had just 7 miles on the odometer! The good news for the buyer is that the car was completed on January 24, 2023 and put into service on February 6th, which makes the factory warranty available to transfer to the new owner.

The car is said to be 1 of 30 White Pearl 70th Anniversary Coupes with Carbon Ceramic Brakes, and it comes in 3LZ trim with options including the Red Z06 intake, visible Carbon Fiber removable roof, Level 2 Carbon Fiber interior trim and Competition Sport Seats. The owner also had the car professional ceramic coated inside and out, and they left the original window sticker affixed for the next owner.

They say it only takes two to have an auction, and in the sale of this White Pearl Z06 Coupe, it came down between a bidder at the auction live while another phoned in his bids. The bidding for the Z06 moved pretty quickly to $200,000 before the bidding war started between the two parties. In the end, it looked the in-person bidder held his final bid just a second too long, allowing the auctioneer to hammer the sale closed at $225,000 for the telephone buyer. With the buyer’s commission, the total selling price was $247,500.

We’ll definitely call this Corvette Z06 well-sold! The original MSRP on the Z06 was $150,660 and so the buyer spent an additional $96,840 over the regular selling price. Of course, he got a 7-mile collectible Z06 with full warranty that he can drive right now, so we hope it was worth it!

It’s going to be interesting watching the pricing of the Anniversary Corvettes moving forward due to the unique package and especially the one-year White Pearl metallic tri-coat paint.
