A little help deciding a wrecked LT1s future
OK I was driving around trying to find a friends house to buy back my old 95 Firebird for a winter project and came across a wrecked 94 Formy convertable M6 car. The kid said he "drove it for 3 months before he crashed it and man is it fast" I ended up buying it very cheap (less than $1000.00) thinking I would save the T-56 trans and junk/part the rest. The car is was very well taken care of in its day and very clean throughout. The engine has a K&N coldair kit and is stock and appears totaly unmolested other than that. Motor may have been rebuilt but not sure, the valvecovers are not rusty and almost look new, it runs very good and drives straight and tight like a new car but has 143,000 on the clock. Trans shifts like a new one and has been rebuilt cuz it has a rebuilt tag on it.
I have a 95 LT1 M6, a 2000 SS LS1 M6, 98 V6 A4 Camaros, what should I do with this car??????????

Honestly, part it. I bought my convertible Z28 6-speed ('95) off of a moderator here for $3800.00. The body isn't flawless, but it's pretty damn nice. You can find 'verts for around 4500-5500 if you look. Seeing BOTH quarter panles on your car are trashed, that is a huge $$$ investment UNLESS you can do it yourself. If it was just fenders, which you can bolt -on I'd say go for it, but the damage, although cosmetic, is pretty bad.

143k is going to hurt anything you do with it in the end. Mileage isnt something that dealerships want, you might be able to privately sell it.
Looks like its not dinged up 'too' bad, if you have the time/money fix it and hope for the best when you try and sell it.
Good Luck!

I am not a big fan of parting out cars but that one is a tough one for me. All just depends on what kind of money you want to put into it as there is damage front front to back and could take a good bit of money to get that all straight.
Parting it would make you a good profit though and your money back.
