Default WTB: C5 with blown/bad motor or trans

Well, to go along with my other post of looking for a running C5.....

I am also looking for a C5 with a blown motor or trans. Not a big deal for me to fix and will be a nice candidate for a Lq9 or ls2. Its got to have all the accessories though..... I don't want to have to source all the misc stuff.

Don't want a vert, red, yellow or green car.

thanks!!
Brad

saw a couple, but too far away for the price. I don't want to tow my trailer all the way to TX and back. My 6.2L sierra would make me poor towing my encosed trailer there and back!

Still looking.. got to be something in the midwest???

ndition. Total after all fees and delivery from Dallas Texas was $4,055.

Located in Portland Oregon.

Engine just siezed on mine, needs a short block or just drop a whole new motor in:

- 99 Puter FRC
- CCW C14's in Gloss Black 18x10.5 and 18x12.5
- BF Goodrich KDW2's 18x295 all around
- Doug Rippie Coilovers
- American Racing Headers
- Texas Speed and performance Ported LS6 heads
- 228/232 cam
- Z06 Differential
- C6 Z06 clutch
- Hurst Shifter
- Lot of miscelaneous odds and ends I'm forgetting

I'll dig up some photos.

I just got the offical diagnosis today so I haven't come up with a number that I need. but if you're intereted hit me back and we can negotiate.

Thanks,
Josh
