Cool Corvette o’ the Week: Centennial Edition Z06 Is a Like-new Bargain

Rare C6 Corvette is flawless inside and out with low miles, yet it is priced surprisingly low.

The 2012 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Centennial Edition was introduced to celebrate the 100^th anniversary of the brand which was founded by Louis Chevrolet back on November 3, 1911. This package was applied to the already-rare C6 Z06, with an array of unique features inside and out added to just 127 examples of the LS7-powered supercar, making the Centennial Edition one of the more limited examples of the sixth generation Corvette.

With just 127 examples of the 2012 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Centennial Edition made, they are hard to find in the used car market. However, “Mad Matt” posted his 1-of-127 Centennial Edition Z06 for sale in the Corvette ForumC6 section of our marketplace, and not only is it in perfect condition with low miles, but it is priced at the bottom end of the expected range, making it clear that the OP is serious about selling.

Centennial Edition Corvette

When the OP posted his 2012 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Centennial Edition for sale, he provided a list of the key features, including items that came from the factory as well as the few minor upgrades that have been made over the years. Mind you, this car came loaded from the factory, so there isn’t much that can be added, but a few small changes add a unique look without damaging the provenance of the package itself.

The OP also mentions later in the thread that he is the third owner and that he does not have the original air intake setup, or the factory wheels. Of course, he included a ton of pictures, just a few of which we have shared in this post. If you are in the market for a C6, you should really check out the original thread to get a good look at this car.

Priced to Move

Oddly, this 2012 Corvette Z06 Centennial Edition has been available on the forum for nearly a month and that comes as a surprise for a few reasons. First and foremost, with only 127 examples of the Centennial Edition Z06 built, they are rare collectables and this one is in as good of condition as you will find. Sure, maybe hardcore collectors want the factory wheels, but those should be easy enough to replace.

Second, what really makes this Corvette jump out at us is the fact that it is listed for just $48,500. It was originally listed for $50,500, which is still a great price, but after a few weeks, the OP dropped the price down a bit.

We looked up a 2012 Corvette Z06 Centennial Edition on Kelley Blue Book and found that the expected private party selling price is right around $51,000 in excellent condition, with the expected ranging starting at $48,343 and topping out at $53,117. At $48,500, this rare Z06 is at the bottom end of the expected pricing spectrum, yet it is likely one of the nicer examples of the Z06 Centennial Edition out there.
