Looking for a great father and son project car?
You are looking at a wrecked 1998 Corvette...Pewter with Burgundy Int. The car has 56,672 miles. It also has brand new tires....NITTO 555's with just a few hundred miles on them. The car is all stock. The car starts and drives. All wrecked parts have been taken off of the car, there are many small parts that can be salvaged off the wrecked parts.
The title of the car is clear because insurance was never claimed; the car can be fixed and still have a clear title.
The parts listed below are all of the parts that need to be replaced that I could see.
Front Bumper
Emblem
Cover bumper
Absorber Impact
Bar Impact
Head Lamp
Door Opening
Head Lamp Assy
Parking/Running Lamp
Lamp
Bracket
Bulb side marker
Park/Signal

Hood Support
Stud Mounting
Plate Mounting
Hood Latch
Front Fender
Fender L
Mid Side L

The estimated cost for repairs is around $6,000 from the 2006 Mitchell Collision Estimating and Reference Guide.
Local pick up only.....A meet point can be arranged depending on location.
Please contact me for any questions.
$12,500

Seems like you'll end up spending to put it back together what you could have spent to buy a lower mileage c5 and at the end of the day, you've still got a salvage car.
Probably better luck in c5

Considering one of my customers just bought a 2004 for $23K, I think that when the dust settles, you'll have an unreliable salvage vehicle that's worth half of what you'll have in it.
Good luck to you!
Good luck to you!

Your best bet may be to get it fixed and then sell it. If it costs $6,000 to fix you'll be able to get most of your money out of it if you're looking for $12,500 now. It won't have a salvage title, which is very good. Just get it fixed properly and be honest, and you shouldn't have too much trouble selling it in the $17,000-$18,000 range.
The problem now is that you'll have to find someone looking for a project like this, and you'll have to price it low enough to make it worthwhile. Posting your location may help. Also, any frame/structural/suspension damage?
