Still needs body work and paint if wanting it to be a finished show and shine kind of car. Otherwise drive it to work, then to the race track, and then back home.

Possible trade for z06, c6, race car, nova, chevelle, etc but would prefer a cash sale

this this is awesome, haha.

I have a dumb question: I once drove a swapped stingray like this (not a widebody) and it literally had a wider turning radius than a tour bus. Is that the case with this car?

Not at all. Turn radius on this car is very good. There is pretty good angle from lock to lock.
