The Vette looks good and has high mileage. Can't see anything wrong with it. Could be a good deal.

As with all of the after-builder cars, they had a ton of paperwork, (i.e. - Baldwin Motion, Yenko, Mr. Norm, etc.). Ask to see it, if he can't produce it you have to assume it's not as advertised...

Paperwork will determine if it is what he claims.
Validate the VIN with Linginfelter
Still looks good.
Be prepared for issues - high mileage and the trans has been rebuilt once.
The high mileage may have come 1/4 mile at a time!

I agree
The C5 Lingenfelter is my dream car and ive looked at a lot of them over the years and ive nver seen one that was an automatic transmission. they also special wheels. Thats just a stock C5 owned by a moron.
