Says it's a salvage, but could have great potential for a race car.

Was hit in the front. Note all the body panels up there don't line up?

The Z06 grill screens are missing in the front and the engine covers are from an LS1. I wonder if it really does have an LS6 under the hood.

fender off color, not the best alignment on hood/fender/bumper cover but yes all of that not a big deal for a track car.

The VIN says it's an 02, so the chassis was likely a Z06.

Looks like both air bag covers are not fitting right; the passenger side on the lower left sticks out and the steering wheel cover is a shade lighter than the steering wheel and it sticks out slightly at the bottom by the lower spokes.

But for a track or autocross car, it sounds like a good deal at the price.
