An original 2016 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Coupe with approximately 6,000 miles is listed for online auction on Bring a Trailer. The car was delivered new to Gold Rush Chevrolet, a dealership in Auburn, California, and features the factory 3LZ Premium Equipment Group, which includes premium interior appointments and electronics. The vehicle is currently offered by the seller who bought it new, and it has had only one owner throughout its service life.
Under the hood is a 6.2-liter supercharged LT4 V8 engine, which is rated by the factory at 650 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque. The engine is paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission and an electronic limited-slip differential, with power delivered to the rear wheels. The car also came from the factory with a dry-sump oil system, a multi-mode exhaust system, and a differential cooler. The seller notes that the fluids were changed in August 2026, and that in April 2025 the car successfully passed California emissions testing.
The body is finished in Shark Gray metallic with Carbon Flash double racing stripes. Exterior features include a removable carbon fiber roof panel, a vented carbon fiber hood, xenon headlights, front curb-view cameras, a spoiler, and four exhaust tips. The carbon fiber front splitter has some scratches, and the body has a ceramic coating that protects the paint. The 19- and 20-inch Z06 aluminum wheels have a black finish and are shod with Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires sized 285/30 at the front and 335/25 at the rear, with a 2015 production date. The Brembo brakes with red calipers have vented and drilled rotors at each wheel.
The interior is trimmed in dark gray Nappa leather. It includes heated and ventilated power-adjustable ergonomic sport seats, carbon fiber trim, a 10-speaker Bose audio system, keyless entry, a data and video recorder, dual-zone climate control, cruise control, a rearview camera, and a touchscreen infotainment system with navigation. A multifunction steering wheel with paddle shifters frames a speedometer reading up to 220 mph, a digital gauge cluster with a tachometer, and gauges for boost pressure and fuel level. A head-up display projects key information onto the windshield, and the digital odometer shows 6,000 miles.
The car is equipped with Magnetic Ride Control adaptive suspension, Performance Traction Management traction control, and an active handling system. Together, these technologies determine the car's behavior on the track and on the road by adapting damper stiffness to driving conditions.
Service history and documentation also matter to a buyer. According to Carfax, the car has no accident history and no reported damage. Along with the car, the seller offers the factory window sticker, the manufacturer's official documentation, and a clean California title in the seller's name. The sticker shows that the car's total price at delivery was $100,795, which makes this Z06 one of the most expensive examples of its model year in the premium-package configuration.
The sale on Bring a Trailer takes the form of an auction, so the final price will depend on the bids placed by participants. For collectors and enthusiasts of the C7 Corvette Z06 with low mileage and complete documentation, such lots rarely appear on the market.
