When I bought mine it was a no brainer. I picked up a LS1 WS6 with excellent interior and above average paint for $4800. granted It took me forever to find said car. I was on here every day a couple times a day browsing the classified ads looking for a good deal. It took me two months of searching, but I finally found it and I had to travel two states away to pick it up, but it was worth it. Honestly I wasn't too keen on the silver color, but for the price I couldn't turn it down. It also had some higher miles at around 140k but that didn't mean anything to me as I was going to rebuild everything the way I wanted anyway.
Good luck with your search.

I bought mine with 140k on the odo last august. broken headlights, shredded interior, cracked dash, bad brakes, leaky rack n pinion, bald tires, broken windshield and bone stock.... i still paid 4700 for it... I sold the interior and all parts i didnt want and the got enough money to replace it with what i wanted, ive probably only got maybe 5500 in it now. Probably less but i could easily get more than that for it now...

did you just say "corvette engine"? ![Rolleyes](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/rolleyes.gif)
edit:
fyi, the other car is much better than this one. the door panel is loose because its got a lambo kit on some of the heaviest doors on the planet.. pulling up down in and out is probably ripped the screws out of the skin.

you think the door panel would be a cheap easy fix?

depends on the problem.. I can make one hell of a list of things that are wrong with our doors.. haha.. his description of "door panel loose" could be anything from a broken lower hinge to the tabs on the panel not being seated... you just never know. I would stay away from a lambo fbody unless he has proof is a decah kit. imo that is the only real kit that will hold up over time. judging by the rims he has on it, it looks to be done on the cheap. that one is gonna take waaaay more than the first one to make it into what youre looking for...

honestly man, i would stay away from the lambo doors unless you know what youre looking at.. most of the kits are made of soft metal that fatigues quickly and shocks that give out even faster. If you are going to take one piece of advice from the guys on this forum it needs to be this...."Know what youre getting into as best you can." Most of these cars have a history that aren't flattering.

Honestly, spend the little extra on a clean car that wont give you headaches. Both cars you posted reek of problems. For 7500 you can find a clean car here on the forums, and don't be afraid to travel. I flew to Arizona to pick up my SLP optioned 2000 SS M6 with Koni DA's and other suspension for 6700.. car was a clean 1 owner car with documentation of everything ever done or replaced on the car.
