This rare Chevrolet Corvette Z06 might be sitting in a salvage yard, but its price and the fact that it’s ‘hardly damaged’ make it surprising that it hasn’t been snapped up… yet.
The Chevrolet Corvette C7 Z06 is ‘barely even broken’ and from the rear looks flawless.
However, it does have a missing front bumper, and the passenger front fender is damaged and sitting inside the car.
“If you don’t buy this, you might actually be crazy,” said the TikToker behind the video.

The rare salvage yard Corvette Z06
The ‘super clean’ yellow Chevrolet Corvette Z06 is a color you don’t see too often, according to Kevin Herrera of notanaverage5.0 on TikTok.
From the rear view, the American supercar looks practically flawless.
In addition, there’s an impeccable aftermarket wing, flawless wheels that still have the ‘hairs’ on them, and solid paint work with little sign of wear.
Under the hood, its engine bay, including the groundbreaking engine itself and the supercharger, is untouched and bone stock, with the classic Z06 logo proudly displayed.
Why is nobody investing in the supercar?
Moving towards the front of the car, the problems start to stack up.
First of all, its carbon ceramics are missing, and there’s some minor fiberglass damage on a wheel liner.
But then we get to the front of the car, and the car’s condition takes something of a nosedive after what appears to be a light front-end hit – you can see it in the full video below.

It’s missing its bumper, and the front fender is sitting in the cabin rather than being where it ought to be. But it’s still a marvel, as these New Jersey students found out.
Despite this and some fibreglass damage on the wheel guard, the dry sump tank, wheel, tire, and side skirt are ‘still fine’.
“But literally, who cares about that?” Kevin said of the automotive investment project.
“At the price this thing is going for right now?
“If you don’t buy this, you might actually be crazy.”
