Just found this browsing the auction site. What kind of engine is that??? The auto shifter column looks funky as well!

Looks like a late model LS engine, tilted towards the driver's side as a result of the accident.

Probably yanked from a 98+ Firebird.

Two wrecked C1s in Lithuania. Remind me never to sell my car to Europeans! . I probably will never sell it anyways.

Don't they have drivers education?

An LS engine can get you in trouble in a hurry, especially with those skinny tires.
