Default Is this wrecked 99 Z-28 worth anything??

I know the people that are selling this car on eBay (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...909%26fvi%3D1). The only thing I really want is the motor and transmission. The car has been relisted several times now but this is the first time with no reserve. It probably won't go over $2500!

The wheels are good, and the headlights are brand new. I have been told that the front seats are ruined but the rear seat is okay. What other parts would be good off of this car. I am not looking to make a fortune, just only to make the engine and tranny as cheap as possible for my swap.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Theoretically, you could sell ALL the good parts off the car. There seems to always be buyers looking for miscellaneous f-body parts.

Buy it now for $5500. I want the wheels

From the pics it doesn't really look like theirs any structural damage. All it needs is body panals which probably everyone of the needed pieces is in the for sale section right now, then get the bitch painted. If I had extra time and money I'd buy it, but probably not for more than 3k at the most.

you could probably turn a profit parting it out, or spend a bit more getting it road-worthy

You could buy it right now for $2500. It's not mine. Like I said, I don't want to fix it. I just want the engine. But I may pass on this one. The last wrecked LS-1 that sold at a local insurance auction brought only $2800! It was a 98 Trans Am Convertible, Leather Seats, etc. 70K Miles, and it had a lot more parts to sell off of it.

I know these motors are good for 200K miles, but I want to stay below 80K miles on an engine to buy.

What are those wheels worth?

I'll buy it now with everything on it for $2500. No joke.

What kind of car thief would do that? Steal all of those useless parts and leave the best thing, the LS1.
