Looking seriously at buying this but needing to find out if any Forum member recalls John Cafaro back in 2001 modifying this Z06.

Seller hasn't been too responsive to questions....Which makes me wonder a bit...

Sorry out of the subject but I looked at your signature about 5 times before opening the link

Back to the original subject, hope the car checks out fine. It sure is a busty I mean beauty.

I'm sorry if you already bought that car. I thought you were just considering.

No...haven't bought it.....yet.... Just trying to get some documentation on it.... I recall the time I was down at Bowling Green, KY at the Museum, back at that time zone....(2001)...John Cafaro was there during one of the Homecoming shows.....And i'm pretty sure that particular Z06 was on display.... Was sent the VIN # today....may run a check on it just in case.....it was a salvage...

Well, good luck if you decide to get it. A salvaged car could be anything. Stay away from flood cars, if you want a keeper.

Good point there 777...... I've some serious questions on this one...Guy won't send me an address where I can come look at it.... Googled it, and it was for sale in San Antonio back in 2012 for the same price ($17K)...Now in Minnesota for the same price.... Another check on it, and a previous owner was asking $51.5K for it!!!

I'm walking away from it.....TODAY.... Thanks!
