Default Looking for wrecked C5 6-speed

Pretty much any year, coupe or hardtop preferred, with tons of body/tub damage. Would prefer the frame and subframes be as straight as possible.

If you come across anything cheap, keep me in mind.

I'm probably going to build a C6 World Challenge car over the next year, and run it in late 05 or 06'. I'd rather start with a C5 chassis than spedn $40k on a new C6, considering I'd have to replace the entire drivetrain and body anyway.

Are they going to make the body panels available to you guys, or are you going all aftermarket?

Dave,
Give Norman Deaton a call 864 576 7109.
He is located near Spartanburg, S.C. All is does is 84 & up Corvette salvage - Complete cars w/salvage, fire, or water titles. Some rebuilt & ready to drive or if you would rather fix it yourself, he can supply you with most any used part necessary.
He works from home so it may take a few calls to catch him but its worth a try. He is a super good guy to deal with.
( If anybody needs to know: No I don't work for him & No I'm not related to him either )

Everything for WC is aftermarket, and they are making a retro-fit tub for the C5 that will allow the C6 Carbon panels to fit the C5t frame.

They're actually made something easier for the racers, man is that a step in the right direction.
