97s were notorious for issues as well as being dog slow. The early model C5s have some parts I think that aren't being made anymore also.

Even C6 ZR1s are getting close to selling for half their original msrp. All vettes tank in value.

Looks like it may have been wrecked in the front. See how the driver's side headlight and surrounding area doesn't match up at all.

If the rest of the car was cared for like the interior I wouldn't give 8 grand for it.

That is a good price to build a drag car out of it or even mile car.
