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.”

All Supercar Blondie contributors undergo editorial review and fact-checking to ensure accuracy and authority in automotive journalism. After gaining her BA Hons in French and English at the University of Nottingham, Amelia embarked on a vocational diploma from the National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ). This led to numerous opportunities, from interning at Vogue to being on the small team that launched Women’s Health magazine in the UK, which was named the PPA Consumer magazine of the year for three years running. As Health, Beauty and Fitness editor, Amelia personally received a Johnson & Johnson Award and was shortlisted for both PPA and BSME titles. Since then, Amelia has created content for numerous titles and brands, including the Telegraph, 111 Skin, Waitrose, Red magazine, Stylist, and Elle, as well as being Head of Content at Vitality and Editor in Chief at INLondon magazine. “My superpower is translating technical jargon about the mechanical workings of a supercar into a relatable story you’ll want to share with your friends after you’ve read it.” After joining the SB Media family as a senior journalist in September of 2023, Amelia’s role has evolved to see her heading up the SEO output of the editorial team. From researching the most ‘Google-able’ key terms to producing evergreen content - it’s been a time of hard work, growth, and success for the editorial team and the Supercar Blondie website. “I like to think of myself as a ‘method journalist’. In other words: I live and breathe whatever I am writing about. When writing about fitness, I trained as a personal trainer, and as a beauty editor, I completed an ‘expert’ in scent diploma with the Fragrance Foundation. “During my tenure at Supercar Blondie, however, I did something I never thought possible: I passed my driving test at the age of 36. One day I’d love to train as a mechanic to better understand what happens under the hood, too. “My sweet spot is providing readers with a ‘takeaway’ (read: something new they didn’t know before) after reading every one of my stories. While I don’t claim to be an expert in the automotive world, I know the experts and bodies in the field to rely on to provide our readers with an informative and thought-provoking story every time they visit the site.”
