Worth more to some local Corvette Wrecking Yard as parts. There are a lot of undamaged parts on that car that can be used to fix somebody else's car at a much lower cost than using new factory parts but just as good.

GOOD FIND. Wow, it's an Automatic. There was an "expert" in the original thread speculating that the reason he crashed was, besides laying on the power, because he popped the clutch instead of keeping his foot down on it....

Didn't a friend of the driver already confirm it was A8 in the original thread?

Isn't that the exact Z06 that does the burnout at night and crashes into a palm tree. It was on a thread from about a month ago.
