I think the main question here is how much for the Vette with a blown motor?
Right now it is a buyers market, You can get a C5 really cheap complete running, There are 2 1999 C5 here, One has 70,000 miles and the other has 120 I think it was and the asking price is 11,000, Body on the cars are in nice shape. It's a shame the prices on the C5 have dropped so much.
