In this emotionally charged video from Emelia Hartford, we witness the heart-wrenching decision to part ways with her beloved orange Z06 Corvette. This car, Vin 28, holds a special place in her heart, having broken world records and even starred in a Corvette commercial alongside NBA star Devin Booker. It's clear that this car is more than just a vehicle to Emelia, it's a symbol of her achievements and passion for driving. But alas, the landlord's decision to renovate the building has left her with no choice but to sell.

Emelia's attachment to the Z06 is palpable as she describes it as the best driving car she's ever owned. She reminisces about the world's first straight-piped exhaust, twin turbos, and nitrous setup on the Z06, as well as tying for the world's quickest quarter-mile time. It's evident that this car has been a canvas for her automotive creativity and a source of immense pride.

To ensure transparency in the sale, Emelia turns to Car Vertical, a service that provides vehicle history reports. She discovers that the car has a clean title and no accidents, but interestingly, the odometer was rolled back in 1992. Despite this, she remains confident in the car's value and its appeal to potential buyers.

At Motorcar LA, Emelia meets with Stuart, who is in awe of the Z06's aesthetics and performance. They discuss the car's impressive features, such as the Z07 package, aftermarket wheels, and carbon fiber accents. Stuart reveals that the car's low serial number, 28, adds to its significance, as cars with serial numbers below 100 are typically reserved for VIP clients and press fleets. It's clear that this Z06 holds a special place in the Corvette lineage.

Ultimately, Emelia decides to list the car with Motorcar LA, acknowledging that the market is strong for these vehicles. She invites potential buyers to make offers and expresses her trust in the dealership to find the Z06 a deserving new owner. The video ends with a bittersweet moment as Emelia hands over the keys, knowing that she's making a necessary but difficult decision. It's a poignant reminder that sometimes, financial realities force us to part ways with the things we hold most dear.
