Funny stuff. I wouldn't give you $20 for that pile of rubble. Serious.

Really? Not even a parts car. More like a pile of damaged parts.

Hi,
So maybe there's a Cheetah hiding under there?

GM Proving Grounds..... Keep in mind that the White ZL-1 that the magazines tested but was never sold was last seen there. They probably cut it in half.

There are a lot of really sweet Corvette restoration projects out there. Pick any one of these, and you'll have many hours of Vette enjoyment (scroll down on the page):

(For those of you running rubber fuel lines on the pressure side of your fuel system, make note of the numbers of Vettes with "engine fire"...)

Funny you say that about rubber pressurized fuel lines, that is the very first project I did when I bought my Vette. The steel line going from the pump to carb had been cut at some point and a rubber hose fitted. The fist thing I thought of when I saws that was WOW, that's not too safe even with only 6psi. I drove home for the first time and that was the very first part I ever changed on my Vette. Good advise as usual Lars

...and keep in mind that these are all, according to the seller, "easy repairable salvage cars..." You can't go wrong..!

The car went to a salvage yard, where it was auctioned off, and some "used car hustler" bought it for $9000, or so, and is trying to sell it as an "easy repairable car". They started off at $23k, and they're now down to $20K.
However, to repair the car PROPERLY, will take $36K, according to the evaluation by the insurance company and body shop. Repairing aluminum cars isn't cheap, and can't be done by any body shop in town.....
