yeah in less it is some type of scam on craiglist or ebay, I'd jump on it.

as far as differences, the intake I belive is the biggest difference.

98-00 LS1 intake
01-02 LS6 intake

certain years had small differences in cams and what not.

Where is it? I need info. Just kidding. No, really where is it. Just joking. I would buy it for that if the engine was knocking. Good luck.

Can't really go wrong there for 2K. Lot's of guys on here have cars well over 100,000 miles and have had no problems. When and if you do get it just change all the fluids, the plugs and wires, fuel filter, air filter, check the brakes and then clean her up good and get us some pics!

Someone must've died in it.

But I'd still recommend picking it up for that price.

that's less than I paid for my 3800 V6 camaro...

No fair!

Not just died in it but mutilated.... anyway the alignment off may be just the tip of the iceberg for unseen damage. Gotta be careful. 2 grand is a steal though. I like white lowered TA's with chrome rims. Someone on here has one I really like.

Agreed, speaking from experience.. wasn't necessarily damage in my case, just wear and tear, but it ended up being crazy expensive to fix (LCA bushings were shot along with tie rod ends and the bolts were so frozen they had to spend hours melting them off the car... Looked like the car hadn't been aligned for years, maybe even as long as when it rolled off the factory line.

But even so, even if you go through the same, after the repair that is still a steal of a deal.
