This one is perfect for me, but damn $64K is a lot to spend on a Vette:

That's just sad. It has a clean Carfax at the moment, but won't once it gets repaired, right?

My car had a clean Carfax also, but found out it had been repainted once before on the driver's side door and front quarter panel (and they did a crappy job where I had to spend $1000 to have it restored), so I don't trust Carfax all that much anymore. What does it take to get a Carfax record?

Anyone ever seen "Competition Gray" wheels as an option on the C6?

You say that but if you had to build a big budget street rod, do you know how bad *** it would be to have the first 3 window coupe or some thing of the lile sitting on a C6 chasis and running gear, not to mention reuse as much of the interior as possible. For those big budget rodders thats the perfect opurtunity to have a show stopper.

It has to have an insurance claim done on it. If an owner fixes things out of his own pocket, Carfax will never find out about it.

Ouch Ouch Ouch That really has to suck I would hate to see the repair bill. When my brother backed into my car it was close to 2k worth of damage. And it wasnt nothing major.

This is what I'm looking at now

02 EB ZO6

If you look through the site I believe they have a couple of C6's coming in. I think they are both black, not sure on the transmission.
