Located in Jupiter, Florida. Locals welcome. Inspections welcome.

**Read the build, look at the miles....please no stupid offers. :cheers:

I searched for about 2 years before I found this gem. This z06 was my second z06. Car was bone stock with 984 miles when I bought it about 18 months ago ( http://i341.photobucket.com/albums/o...pswtdvd9p9.jpg ), part of a collection and adult owned. It was properly stored in an AC'd garage, on a tender, fluid changes, etc. I purchased the car and changed all fluids, and started putting together parts for my build. I ordered a great selection of top notch parts and sent her for the below work about two months into ownership. All of the below work was performed at ~1,700 miles by Powertech Performance, and Florida Speed and Power, and all parts were brand new. The car sounds insane with the Tial Q mated to a ARH / Corsa setup. EVERYONE turns heads.

With the cost of a low mile Z, and these parts/labor, this is close to a $100k build. The two sets of wheels alone would be $~15k new.

Facts:
Paint: 9/10 and just got a full detail.
Interior: 9.5/10
Motor: 9/10
Car is super super clean. You will not find another 2008 as clean as this car. The interior still smells new.
Car has NEVER seen a drag strip, been launched, road coursed, or anything like that. It truly is my show car, dyno queen, pampered baby....I have done a few 45-140 pulls with some friends, but that is it. Babied.
Car is very well put together - top notch parts, and runs very smooth. Drives like stock until you stomp it.
All receipts, original window sticker, etc - on hand.
Two key fobs
Is NOT peppered with rock chips on the rear quarter or rear of the front fender like most Z's.
Can be driven on a road trip with no issues - runs great!

Issues:

Carfax - about 8 months ago, I was stopped, and got rolled into at about 10-12 mph, driver was "off the gas". The front bumper was perfectly in tact, but due to the paint spider-ing, we chose to fully replace it, and do it right. The front bumper was replaced with all brand new fasteners, clips, and a bumper - all OEM, and professionally painted/cleared/buffed.

Boost Gauge currently isn't picking up boost - not a big issue, as its a pulley driven system, so boost is a fixed variable. That said, this can be easily rectified.

Pictures:

I have a pictures of the entire build coming together, and all receipts (search "geared")...

I can take any pictures of anything you'd like! I dont have any shots of the interior - but picture a brand new c6z interior....it is SPOTLESS. I can take some pics if you'd like - just let me know. Most of these are more "photoshoot" type shots, but I'd be happy to take more, just ask.
