Looking at a 91 but no maintince history, can anyone tell anything that may have or haven't been done by looking at the motor? I'm kinda new to the lt5 and I know maintince is big this one has 62k

How much are they asking? Does it exhibit any of the usual known ZR-1 or C4 issues?

Looks pretty normal from the photos. Ignition wires are replacements. Most of the smaller rubber hoses have been replaced. The plenum has been off. So there has been some degree of maintenance for aging. If someone took the time to remove the plenum and replace the visible rubber hoses and wires they likely took care of the under plenum rubber and possibly injectors and coils as well.

I would in no way be afraid of a 62k mile car.
Best of luck

asking 16,700 would like to get it for 15k. Runs and drives good. Has a oil leak that's about the only bad thing I could find and that could just be some bolts that need tightening up. Clean car.

Looks like 90-91. Oil leaks could be several things. None too major. $15-16k is a fair price especially if it needs next to nothing.
Good luck.

If the oil leak is on the passengers side it's most likely the oil sensor. Also check the injectors. That is one of the most common repairs needed along with coil packs.

The engine looks normal to me.

Of course get the best price you can BUT don't walk away from a well sorted LT5 for a couple hundred dollars as you will most likley put a couple thousand in the car over time.

I say "go for throttle up"

Looking at the cooling hoses they have original clamps.

Make sure you have a couple of G's put aside to fix some things.

Just like any used car
