Default Anyone have a blown up Z06 they want to sell?

Just as the title says I'm interested in buying a car already blown up. Wanting to do another ERL block 454 build. I figure it will be cheaper to buy one this way instead of pulling a good motor. It would also be better if the car is modded.
Thanks,
Derrick

I'm also looking for one minus motor and trans. A roller so to speak. Sorry to ruin your thread but i'm looking also. I would consider a wrecked one too

If you mean blown as in supercharged, I have one that I would consider selling for the right price. 2008 model with low milage and never raced. If you are interested, I'll send you the details.

God damn me if I EVER have to accept your money for my rolling chassis. My ****ing car will be upside down in a ditch as I watch it burn down in flames and me on the phone with my insurance company getting a total loss claim started if my engine ever blows up. You can bet your house on it.

Some people would rather sale a roller than commit insurance fraud .

I was in the middle of selling a gto I just built. Dang it. Hopefully I can pick one up. There seems to be a lot of them letting go. I would love to find one with full bolt ons and maybe just a cracked sleeve.

Thanks for letting me know. The zr1 is going to be a little more than I want to spend. I also would hate to do a na build on a zr1.
