WTF is this ad? i would say it doesn't make sense, but sounds much more like some kind of scam.

Yea seems kinda fishy. Why part out a C5 that looks like that instead of selling it out right.

Sounds like maybe he don't have the title and has to sell it in parts.

Went to look at a parting out Vette in Brooklyn Ny and i offered to buy the complete car as is..The seller said NO DEAL since he had already reported it as stolen and collected the $$$ for it. he also stated that since it was on private property that the police or insurance guys could not search there for it.

I had to walk away from that purchase since I needed parts that had clean serial numbers on them and a bill of sale.(NY state law.)

"DON'T ASK TO SALE WHOLE CAR"

No, guys, seriously,,,,, I want to buy a sport bike and figure I only need to sell a few non-essential parts to raise enough for the bike.

I mean, hey, a couple of fenders, and maybe the rear clip and I'm home free.

In a few months/years I'll buy parts to put it back together, really.....

There are plenty of Aholes out there that post an ad like this to get back at someone. I'd bet the phone number and car pictured is owned by someone other than whomever posted the ad....you get a lot of really irritating calls.....

Does sound like something to steer clear from. If that is really the car - sure looks in good shape to me so why part it out?

Put stolen parts on your car and run the risk of having the whole vehicle siezed by the PoPo.
