It’s loud, it’s wild, and it’s packing an estimated 750 horsepower — but this 2016 Corvette Z06/Z07 might have a harder time finding its next owner than you’d expect.
The seller admits the car “sounds absolutely ridiculous” and is “extremely fast,” yet there’s one major catch: it won’t pass California smog because the catalytic converters have been removed.
Still, the owner — who listed the car northeast of Los Angeles on Craigslist for $73,500 — is hoping the right buyer won’t mind. In fact, he’s even open to a trade plus cash for “something cool,” tossing out possibilities like a Porsche 911, Ferrari, Bentley, or Lamborghini.
And to be fair, the car is undeniably cool.
This Z06/Z07 is a 3LZ convertible with a 7-speed manual, finished in Long Beach Red with the rare Spice Red interior, red top, and matching burgundy brake calipers. It’s loaded with performance upgrades: a Magnuson supercharger, Kooks long tube headers, AWE intake, Corsa Extreme cat back, a tune, pulley upgrade, Forgeline wheels, and carbon ceramic brakes courtesy of the Z07 package. It’s also been recently ceramic coated.
With just 16,000 miles, a clean title, and a long list of expensive mods, it’s the kind of Corvette that turns heads even before the engine fires. But in California, no catalytic converters means no smog certification — and no smog certification means no registration.
That’s the dilemma.
For the right buyer outside California, or someone looking for a track toy, this triple burgundy Z06/Z07 might be a dream. For anyone trying to keep it street legal in the Golden State, it’s a tougher sell.
Either way, the listing is honest, bold, and very Corvette:
“Extremely fast car. Sounds absolutely ridiculous. Looking to sell!”
