-----Have seen this car,but not looked it over throughly,and a couple of us have had extensive conversations about it. We even talked to Mershon at Corvette Carlisle about it. The chances that its an original ZO6 are extremely slim! I didnt look at the car on E-bay that close this time because I have seen the car up on E-bay before and Mershon had a very artfully worded disclaimer then. The car has value in that it has the brakes,and master cylinder on it,but needs a full-on restoration. That brake system if complete and in good condition could bring anywhere from $5000 up. If you dont put any value on the car being an original ZO6 you wont get hurt!!!!!.........Bill S

Bill, I have read that the Z06 parts were sold as service items. Were they sold in a kit form? Any idea how many Z06 brake systems were sold as service/parts counter items?

-------There are ZO6 brake parts out there. There are also subtle differences between the "service parts" and "delivered on the vehicle parts" and the differences are hard to get a handle on. Im not by any means an expert,I just have a close friend that is and for that reason I pay attention to them. Im not aware of a so-called ZO6 kit of any kind but anything is possible,I guess. I may ask that question over on the NCRS board and see what we come up with. They have been very cranky over there though,so who knows what will happen.LOL!.........Bill S

-----After asking a few old timers the concensus is that the ZO6 brake package was never offered over the counter as a unit,only as seperate pieces. However,packages were probably given away in small numbers to those who were well connected!...........Bill S

First off, if Dave Mershon is not keeping the car in his personal collection that should tell you something about the car. The Z06 coupe should bring $125K mint, a Z06 convertible should bring around $150K. Again, like any collector car, if it does not have documents, it is a tough call to make. I think this car is not an original Z06. My .02.
