Are you doing the work or are you going to pay to have somebody fix it?

if it sounds to good to be true.....

a 'tweak' on fbodies could be exterior damage, or a seriously bent unibody. could be a can of worms.

im not sure how much it will cost, but i can tell you one of my friends wrecked his z28, and he needed two fenders, a hood, a bumper and all the lights. to fix all of it and repaint it, it cost his insurance company 4,600. it could be a good project if you have the time and money.

title?

i'm sure it will be a salvage title. so think about resale. it's hard to sale a salvage/rebuilt title. it looks like a lot of work to me and unless you can do the work yourself you will lose money. good find for a bodyman though.

ya that car is not worth the time, by the way, you said that you thought the fenders looked find, you can tell in one of the pics that the passenger side fender is trash. I wouldnt even think twice. Don't buy it.

they dont even show pictures of the passengers side. the strut tower looks like its been hit hard on the passengers side i wouldnt be suprised if there were dents on the door and on the rear quarter meaning the chasis is bent as well. dont bother fixing it or parting it out, $6500 is way too much. you can get a t/a with high miles for that price
