FS: 2003 EB Z06 w/"rebuilt" title
Although this Z has a "rebuilt" Vermont title, there are no lingering effects from the accident that preceded it. It was a very light collision. The frame suffered no damage. The right rear muffler absorbed most of the impact. The only damage was to the rear bumper cover, rear quarter panel, a corner of the tub, and the muffler, of course. Why the car was totaled is a mystery and there were items listed on the insurance adjusters' report that did not need to be replaced (for example, the crease in the roof: all Z06's have the crease in the middle). Anyway, I have before and after pictures of the vehicle on Photobucket

so you can see for yourself what kind of collision this vehicle endured.
I have driven it for a year and it now has 98.5k miles. There are no issues with it. It rides beautiful (new set of 2011 Z06 shocks) and had a complete alignment (Pfadt spec's) before being re-registered. I used Pennzoil Ultra when I changed the oil. The engine runs smooth and strong, no smoke or anomalous noises. Shifts great (original owner installed a C6 shift ****). Was originally owned by a older fellow in North Carolina - I'm the second owner although it was titled by a broker who bought it from the salvage yard for me. The interior is black w/red inserts. The tires are Bridgestone with about half the tread left. There are no codes showing on the display. The original owner must have had steering lock issues because the steering wheel no longer locks when the key is removed. I'm assuming that the lock has been removed - the relay click can be heard when the key is removed but the steering wheel will not lock. This isn't really an issue to me because there are other anti-theft redundancies built into this fine vehicle. This is a very nice vehicle at a very reasonable price - $14.5k
I've lowered the price because a P1416 code was set yesterday. It has happened before but took 3 months to return after being cleared. For those not familiar with this code, it is very benign - it is the passenger side check-valve for the air-injection to the exhaust/O2 sensing circuit. It is a $13 part but a pain to replace (removing the intake manifold). If you don't want to remove the intake (I don't) the plumbing can be rerouted to the front. I have reset the DIC and the code hasn't reappeared but to maintain full disclosure, I'm letting all potential buyers beware. It'll probably reoccur until the check valve is replaced.

You're obviously referring to one of the "before" pictures - look at one of the "after" pictures: they are the ones at the beginning, the most recent posted. To answer your question, everything has been replaced, the car needs nothing.

Just a quick comment about the damage... that looks to be very minor and shouldn't keep anyone from buying this car. These cars are easily fixed. Looks like its just as good as new to me.
Good luck on the sale, wish I had the cash to buy this as a track toy to go along with my race car.

Yes, thanks Edmond and goldeneagle_10 - I'm in Lancaster, MA, which is in the central part of the state.
