There is an outfit that has yards in Ut & Ca I believe just dealing with salvage title cars or salvageable cars. Try googling salvage title corvette I believe.

There was a shop next to my office in DFW that did some. He said the labor costs were reasonable as they were somewhat easy to piece back together, it was the parts that got ya.

What kind of track car? Road Racing or Drag Racing? If you're interested in a built C5Z for road racing... I've got mine for sale.

Try this link:

http://www.copart.com/c2/homeSearch....ageRange=99999

It lists all the vettes at all their facilities, but you can choose from the facilities closer to you.

This list is for 2003 and up.

A thought. You might be better off trying to find a high mileage car instead of a salvaged one.

An early run c6 with over 100k on the clock is going to be pretty reasonably priced. Especially if it's a driver and something that wasn't necessarily pampered. A salvaged car may cost you only slightly less, but cost more to bring up to snuff.

Those cars do exist, might be worth a look.
