Hagerty in the Hot Seat

PLUS: An Outrageous no-reserve Lingenfelter Corvette

The Daily Vroom

Good Morning Vroomers,

I’ve been pretty vocal in the past about Hagerty’s Marketplace - mostly because it felt like they hadn’t fully decided what they wanted it to be. The potential was obvious, but the focus wasn’t. That’s changed.

Over the past year, Hagerty has seriously stepped it up. The listings have more consistency, the presentation feels curated, and now we’re seeing it all come together with this latest collection.

It’s an impressive leap that shows real intent. But the question now is what comes next?In a market that rewards momentum and punishes complacency, there’s no room to coast. So let’s take the pulse. How are you using Hagerty’s tools, what do you think of their Marketplace experience, and how can they keep raising the bar from here?

This is exactly the kind of listing that shows how far Hagerty Marketplace has come. It’s not part of the big “Generous Collection” everyone’s been talking about, but it might be the more interesting one to watch. Offered from the Burnyzz Collection, this 25,000-mile Lingenfelter Twin Turbo Corvette is a time capsule from when American tuning was raw, loud, and unapologetic.

Like almost everything on the site right now, it’s no reserve, which attracts buyers. But this isn’t just another boosted Corvette. It’s a Stage II Lingenfelter build, complete with forged internals, twin turbos, and dyno sheets showing 715 wheel horsepower and 771 pound-feet of torque. A T-56 six-speed sends it all to the rear through a DTE Stage 5 diff, QA1 adjustable suspension, and an RPS triple-disc carbon clutch. The parts list is basically a love letter to early-2000s horsepower obsession.

It’s finished in Arctic White, comes with the full build book, receipts, and a clean Carfax. A few scuffs and touched-up paint, sure, but the story here isn’t perfection, it’s pedigree. This was built by a name that still carries weight, and it’s the kind of car that gets real enthusiasts talking again.
