Best way to inquire about any CAV GT40's for sale in USA...

Hello Gents,

Not sure how to go about this, or if it's even allowed.....so, posting this here for feedback/direction.

I would like to post to enquire if there are any USA-based CAV GT40s currently (or prospectively) for sale. I have a C8 Corvette Z06...which has been a phenomenal car...I'm selling to a friend. The C8 is amazing but it's more than I need...in every respect. Something more simple that I can DIY wrench on in my older age is a better fit. I'm familiar with CAV having owned a very nice one in the past for some years.

So, net, is there any way to post looking for enquiries without violating forum rules? I've looked in the For Sale section and it doesn't appear there are any USA based cars currently for sale, but I'm not sure.

Thank you in advance.

Cliff, Thanks for asking. I don’t see any violation of any sort. I personally think it’s great that you are trying to get back into a GT40. Throw an inquiry up on the parts or vehicles wanted and maybe something will come up. I myself am waiting on a ZO6, and a RCR Lola.
Hopefully we both get what we want.

Regards Brian

Right…
As long as the potential seller contacts you via PM and not openly offering for sale to you or others in the open forums - there’s no issues. Please just ask that anyone with a lead on a car for sale (theirs or others) contact you by PM.
PS - if the seller is a Supporter of the forum, all this can be out in the open.

I have seen a few on various for sale places, like bring a trailer, over the last few years. may wish to take a peek there from time to time as well, good luck.

Thank you gents, much appreciated here. Just a quick update.

The Z06 is now with it's new owner in eastern Canada...who is very happy with it.

I've had a couple brief conversations with two very nice guys thinking about selling their CAVs but unfortunately both are a bit out of my price range ($130-150K). Both absolutely beautiful cars.

I'm now thinking perhaps the better pathway is a new base model C8 coupe. Nothing fancy, just like to have leather seats in either black on grey or red on tan. No Z51, no carbon wheels or carbon brakes, no nothing. My local Chevy dealer wants msrp plus $10,000...and can't get me the color or low/no options that I want.

Does anyone know of a Chevy dealer that can order a car with low/no options in either of these specific color combinations without charging a crazy premium over msrp?

Chevy could be selling a lot more of these C8's.......

I have a deposit on a ZO6 with MacMulkins At MSRP, and a deposit on a Zora with Les Stanford also at MSRP. MacMulkins is the number one dealer for Corvettes in the world. Les Stanford is number five, but only a couple hundred miles away. If you would like more information, please PM me.
