Default Can a wrecked Z06 become a fun track car?

Hey guys!

I'm looking for a fun project car, and through my daily run through Craigslist I found this gem. http://norfolk.craigslist.org/cto/4109348537.html

What do you guys think? How much do you think it'll be to repair the front end damage?

This really seems to be the extent of the damage:



And here's the engine bay:

The only reason I would buy it is to part it out and make some cash.

With the frame damage I don't think it would be worth it. I agree with the above. If it was close to me I wold buy it and part it out for cash. That is a great price.

That's a smoking deal. The drive line alone is worth that.

Its a good deal for either a track car or a part out car. AS a track car, its an easy fix (yes, I see the bent chassis, easy fix). As a part out car, probably bring 20-24K.

Scam.

That car would sell for $20K @ auction.

Could be, there's plenty of that.

I'm going through Hickory tomorrow afternoon. Maybe I should pull in there and check it out.

I believe that is a picture from Cleveland pick a part. Looks like their gate. They do sell wrecked Z06's.
