Looks picked clean to me...

Maybe I missed this, but what was wrong with the car? The back-half looks like a beautiful car.

Car is a 98 Bright Green Metallic Z28..kinda rare as it is the only Non SS-able car. Bought car of craigslist for really cheap. Like under $1k. Car was complete and only had 70k miles. Auto LS1 Car.

The kicker...the guy had pulled the ENTIRE wiring harness and dash out of the car. Not an once of harness from maybe drivers seat area forward was left or not hacked up. he was trying to make a "drag car". haha

Did you not read a single thing the OP said? He tried on numerous occasions to sell it/part it out but to no avail. Not everyone has the luxury of the room to store cars like that. Especially ones that don't even resemble cars anymore

It's the OP's $$$, but sure seems like a waste of a car to me as well. Best i can understand from the OP's description, it was missing all the wiring harnesses for the car. Not enough reason to strip it like he did, but it is his $$$!!!


Sucks to see such a rare color car get crushed, but whatever.

Waste of a car? What was left of any value? I paid exactly $700 for the car. I sold the motor....which i couldnt even verifried ran due to the entire wiring harness being removed or know of the transmission conditions...sold the motor, trans and wiring/computer for $2k!. I made atleast $4k total with all the parts. The car had no wiring harness at all..who would have wanted it and paid me more than $150 for it and come and got it? The title was also still in that guys name just signed over to me..so that even saved me $80 for a fast title in my name..

deff not seeing how i am a dumbass but im sure you know exactly how easy it would have been to get this running more than me...

I think you did good on this deal. You made about 500% profit on your initial investment...I say good job.

Who gives a **** about the color?

good job making the money. But I would have held out longer to try to even sell body parts and what not.
