Default Salvaged/Wrecked or Cheap C5 for Race Car

Hello,

Figured id try and look here before looking at the salvage websites. Looking to buy a c5 or c5z for a non-street legal race car(t). If you are familiar with Cleetus and his C5 cart you'll know exactly what i'm going for.





Must be good
-transmission
-frame
-suspension
-steering rack
-brakes/master cylinder

Debating on keeping the LS or going with a junkyard LQ build so open to both fully running cars and ones with blown motors. I do not need any body panels, lights, interior, seats etc and will let you keep those to part out for a lower price. Let me know what you have.

Located in IL. Would prefer to keep it within a few hours drive.

Thanks for the offer. For ease of the project and sourcing parts I would prefer a car with suspension and transmission. Also i've updated my thread with distance preference.

I figured it would be a stretch but keep me in mind

I think under 5,000$ is my aim. I'm seeing a lot of salvage corvettes with flood, minor body/frame damage with below 50k miles and they guarantee the car moves under its own power going far below 5k. Considering i'm removing the body, don't need a title, and will be selling the motor and ecu im not willing to pay more for a car in good condition with higher mileage.

Just put mine up for sale. Needs 4k worth of electrical work. But just in case you are interested.
