Years ago I bought a wrecked C3 for $500 that someone started to repair with a mako shark nose. Wheels and seats were stolen from his yard during restoration attempt. Nine months later I finished the car and flipped it to make a buck. Financially it would have been much better to part out the wreck rather than finish and sell it. There's more money to be made in parts that selling salvage/repaired vehicles so the owner is doing the right thing even if the picture is sad.

I bought a wrecked C5Z many years ago, although I learned alot about all aspects of the car, I wouldn't do it again. Cost way more than I could of bought a good car with a good title! The only thing that car did to save itself was go 10.3@133 in the end it was a great experience!!!!
