Pretty cheap.. just want it for open track days and to tool around in for fun. Saw pics and look pretty damn clean. I guess the guy drove for work all over the state of CA
Not up on my C5 history.. any issues particular to '97?
Also, I can rebuild the LS1 in the '97 and toss on my spare set of LS6 heads and a little emmisions friendly cam..
Thoughts?

Only reason not too? Because you suck and got/had enough toys! 
Naw, I see no reason why not to pick it up. Outside of the milage, but you said you can rebuild it so why not? Go for it and see what she's got.

Yea, bit worried about all the other parts being worn out like the suspension, trans, AC and such..
It's either $12k for this or $20k for a NICE low miles FRC '99... at $12k I have more money to dump into Penny

I don't know why you would want it unless you were pulling the motor and trans and doing it as a racecar.

Besides $5k is $5k more I can dump into my '68

Hmmm.. decisions..

Thats easy If your going to build a race car this is the perfect way to go sence you will eventualy replace everything!! If you are going to drive this car for long then you will want to look for something with fewer miles and meybe a little newer as you will replace EVERYTHING sooner or latter!!
