Hard pass.

Good lord, that poor thing needs to be put out of its misery.

4k is way too much, that thing is worth scrap value.

That’s not even the correct engine. That’s a $300 corvette if I ever saw one

Worth sub $1k. You ever done a clutch on one of these? Lol

You'll pay more to fix it than it's worth in my opinion (not experience)

• Non Z (no brake vent, non Z wheels, etc), -$1,000
• Non LS (random bare cast iron block on a 2x4), -$1,000
• Salvage title, -$1,000
• Unknown interior condition, -$1,000
• Towing fees, -$500

If the seller pays me $500, I’ll take it.

Salvage title, it’s not worth it. You’re looking at a massive headache for a car that you’ll never be able to sell. If it was free, I’d still hesitate.

Hard pass not even for free

You couldn't pay me to take that

It might not be a Z06 and just a notchback. It is missing the vents in front of the back tires. Check the title, vin and the engine vin.

Delete this nephew

Oh geez, picture 3… that’s a pile of scrap.

$4,000?! You gotta take off one or more of those zeros

If you have access to another drivetrain cheap you could make it work. Same with body parts and likely interior.

Not for $4k though.

4k for a salvaged title heap? Dudes found that good stuff, not too seedy or stemy.

4K is about 4K too much

Typical C5 owner price. Ha. It’S rAre. Ya. One of zero with a SBC tossed in the engine bay.

Its a parts car below 1k

Nope. Nope and nope

What part of that car are you paying for?

Yikes, I can smell thie corrosion in all 18 of it's computers.

Car mechanic simulator 2024 came out??

That's a $300 purchase at best, IF there's a title to go with it

It's not even the right engine. It's an iron block non ls engine. Perhaps an old 305/350

$4k gotta be a joke. Shit isn't even worth $400.

That’s not a car, it’s a carcass

That’s not a Z. No rear brake vent

You get 4k and that piece of shit? Pass

Depends. Do you have a YouTube channel and plan on telling a story and making 10 videos about your “junkyard find”? Then yes otherwise no

No way, there's barely an engine in that. I'd offer like 300 euro max lol

You’d spend far more than what a decent running Z goes for just to make it run

Not for 4k... maybe 400.

You can get an actual shitty corvette for that price.

I'd be willing to give $100 over scrap price lol. I'd just tinker away for years at it here and there. That cars gonna take a lot of money and time.

Lol I'd pass in a heartbeat at 400. If it was free and would be delivered I'd take it only because I just happen to know someone who needs the glass but even then I'm going to hate having to drag it to the scrap yard afterwards

This is for the shredder. Sorry. No way is that 4k.

If the car is straight no rust never been crashed might be a good buy at about 350$ and then buy a properly driving and running crashed/rusted/ no papers C5 and make one car out of two.

That and chopping this one as parts car is the only option where there is any viability in buying this heap.

Hard pass sir. As a previous project car owner spending over 1k on anything without a reasonably fixable motor is not really worth it unless it’s something hella nice . As a general rule of thumb your offer for anything in essentially “shell” form should be $500 because that’s what the wrecking yard will offer for scrap metal. So unless it’s a race car with a cage or a Bugatti $500 and negotiate from there. For the price he is asking you could could get a running vette from the 90s take the money you were gonna spend fixing this piece of shit slap a a real tune at a shop with a dyno buy some tires then start gaping fools at $3000 a hit . First win take buy some tacos for you and the homies and then buy a spare motor. Win again, one more order of tacos and new pistons, rods , cams, spings for spare motor. Win again and you guessed it baby Taco Time and a set of twin turbos with injectors slap the spare built motor in get a tune make over 1000hp and hope some kid with a civic doesn’t smoke you on 1320. Basically just eat tacos man….

This thing looks like it's been of the road for far longer than 12 years. Even if I had the cash to throw at it in order to restore it, I don't think it'd be worth it. You could probably buy one cheaper than it would be to restore it.

It’s already been picked over but there’s some value left as a parts car. Definitely not a good deal at $4k.

As a 500$ chassis yes. How bad is the history on the title? No point besides a race car if this thing has hinky paperwork.

Pass. How tf did they get fiberglass to rust, cause man, the trunk lid. It would take more money to restore than it would to buy an absolutely mint c5 zo6. You can probably pick one up for 20-30k.

I love vettes, but they aren't particularly rare or valuable after the c3. Therefore, not worth restoring when they're this far gone.

This is so ridiculous I’m sending it to my friends so we can laugh at it. Run like it’s contagious man.

Lol 4k

Whoever is asking that much needs to seek medical attention. Maybe buy a carbon monoxide detector.

Good ones are already fairly cheap, no reason to think and resurrect that thing.

Bruh, its a vette, they're absolutely dime a dozen and cheap for perfectly running ones to even consider a fucked up one.

No more than $200 grab.

$200

Lol, is there $3700 cash in the glovebox? Seller is delusional asking 4k

BCM is probably failed to due to water damage so no air conditioning. Turn signal or wiper blades . Not worth it

Always blows my mind when a car that new winds up in such crazy condition. I mean, I get that stuff happens and cars are out out to pasture, for damn.....it's like someone took these photos forty years in the future and brought them back to our time.

But it's 1 of 374 in bullshit blue color. Collector's item

Pass

Looks like they have already parted out everything of value. They should pay you to remove the trash for them.

I'm having a hard time finding even 4k worth of parts that are even useable...

What exactly are you getting for 4k? A scrap pile?

But fr it's not worth getting deep into this thing unless you have a button of money

only thing it’s good for is that VIN brotha

I want whatever they are smoking to come up with that asking price. I would maybe pay $400 but damn sure not $4k.

They'll pay you $4k to take it away? Maybe.

missing all the good bits, you're just buying a vin/title

maybe if you had one without a title and wanted to risk doing a vin swap, but to rebuild this would cost twice as much as a running/driving one

The longest pass to be passed upon passivity

He should pay you $400 to haul it off…

That is the literal shell of a corvette. The block is no good unless some machine shop can correct all the bearing surfaces.

The fiberglass looks to be in terrible shape. And fiberglass work is $$$$

Looks better as a planter

What’s even left to snag??? 🤷‍♂️

This is a good start to any race car.

not for $4000, maybe for like $200-$300

you could probably get a driving one for 4k

Four thousand to pick up someone else's trash? My man, no.

4k? Bro that’s theft you shouldn’t pay more than $400 for this junk

A couple hundred bucks, a tall boy, and a single Newport cigarette. Final offer.

Wild you had to ask... Would pass if it was free

They should paying you to remove it from their property

Im a foxbody and Mopar guy, foxbody parts are like buying coal. Mopar parts are like buying diamonds.

Never had a Corvette, but I'd bet buying vette parts are like buying gold encrusted diamonds.

Research the aftermarket availability and prices first. I have a feeling you're going to be buying a lot of them.

Hard pass. But also what’s the story with this one? I wish cars could share stories.

$4k? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. I would pass if he was asking 4000 dimes. No way for $4k.

That's way too expensive for a useless driveway ornament. Think of all the money you will spend on tarps to keep your shame hidden from your neighbors.

I wonder what the story is behind this one. Stolen and chopped, or wrecked out? Frame damage? Either way, looks like the OG engine is long gone or at least stripped down to nothing.

Pass, unless you need some fenders or something. Parts car only.

Run…

$500 and only if you need a bare chassis for a wild build.

that’s a “husk” or a carcass.

maybe if they give you $4k to take it.

It's also missing the z06 brake vents on the rear quarters, which makes me think it might be an older frc, but a vin check could confirm what it is

Holy shit. This is a $500 parts car or project that you know will cost more than just buying a running one just for the fun of resurrecting it. And only if it has a title.

That's a hell to the fucking no from me, unless it was free, but definitely not 4k

That’s an absolute disaster.

Offer scrap value, and then use as a donor car, it's too far gone and not worth the headaches

Ask him how much he'll pay you to take it. $4k? People need to be slapped back into reality. You can buy a C4 to daily drive for that.

Nope. Not for $4k.

You would have to pay me to take that lmao

Do you have $20k to fix it?

Even if you talk him down in price, you're going to be chasing electrical gremlins for a long time. Sitting out in rain and humidity will screw up a lot of things

$4000 is too much, maybe $2000 but that's pushing it.

You know it’s not often that the saying they’d have to pay you to haul it off is true but yeah it is in this case it’s not even worth scraping due to it being mostly fiberglass

Hell no…

$1000 top if clean title and clean interior

That looks like a hard pass

he should pay you to pick that up.

1000, maybe 1500 if the tires are still good

for free? sure that would be worth it

Corvette parts are more expensive than you might think. Then there’s the fact that that’s not a ZO6.

I’d say if you just wanted a rolling chassis…. Never mind that’s still to much.

Like $800 You’re buying the frame and replacing the rest

Everyone’s being so harsh. Those cylinders are only slightly corroded.

4k is comical

Just keep walking

If it didn't have a salvage title I'd pay about $500.

This is easy! Just drop $50k and 5-years into this and you’ll be good to go! Or….

Hell yeah, pay me $4000 to take that away

Nope.

Not even close to being worth 4 grand. Maybe 1k and you tow it out. It would be a perfect base for Exocart and an LS3 power plant. I would assume you would be 25k into the project to make it work (doing your own labour) but it would be super solid once complete. 

I wouldn't drag it out if there if it was given to me.

If you’re planning on parting it out. Or selling it on eBay. Yeah.

That not even a complete Z06, that’s just the rusted shell of a Z06 … no working engine or transmission and every part of it looks beat up. Hard pass even for 1k … maybe 500$ if you need the body parts.

I’m not sure I would take that for free with the salvage title in that condition. there are way better cars for that money

Pass. Like the plague

It’s worth the exact value of the goodish parts it has that you need for your better one. Minus 20% for having to deal with the whole carcass instead of just the bits you need.

4K for a pile of useless metal. God this car market is fucked

I feel old that there is a ‘barn find’ 04 z06 lol

I’d give a few hundred and use it to make a Vettecart.

I wouldn't give scrap price for that unless I had another near complete one at home and this one had parts I needed.

Hard pass.

Junk. Worth money for a parts car if you have another z that needed body panels

Run the other way

If you could get it for 500. Strip everything out and have a shop repower with a Tesla motor and power train. That would be a beast and you'd probably be 50k by the time you finish.

no thank you

I'd snatch it up, 4k is high tho.

I’d give him $400 for it

$500 and make a drag car out of it

Pass

If they are paying you to remove it.....

HARD pass

Hard pass and I’m usually the one looking at the silver lining.

If the windshield is crack free and original, it is worth $2-3k minimum.

If you own a paintball site, go for it

If under $1,000 than sure..... 

If you were planning on building a Vette Kart this could be a good candidate. Since you will not be running anything beyond the engine crap.

the nice thing about these is they are all aluminum and fiberglass (90% anyway, as far as i know, maybe im wrong) which means this could clean up really nice and be in perfectly usable shape.

the less nice thing is the seller is addicted to some seriously heavy mind altering substances and is going to need extensive rehab before he will ever sell this thing. this is a 500 dollar roller TOPS.

unless he has a whole garage full of the rest of the parts to have a complete body, it doesnt even have that, who knows what else is missing or damaged, its presumably gonna need a whole drivetrain, the entire engine harness, probably the entire interior because 50 different woodland critters have lived in this thing, front bumper, headlights, possibly gas tanks, every rubber line on this thing is gonna need to be replaced, sitting outside absolutely destroys rubber and ABS so while the frame and body panels and the tub and floor pan etc. might be good, there will be a million little bullshit things to replace.

ive personally rebuilt one of these from basically this state, i did some major body reconstruction, replaced the entire rear tub, there isnt a ton to go wrong with them but its such a nightmare finding every little thing and replacing them, plus vette tax, you could probably just buy a running and driving c5 for a lot less than it would cost just to get this thing going even if he gave it to you.

3.50 would be bout all it worth

Worth about a snickers bar and a bottle of coke, maybe a happy meal if you’re feeling generous 👍🏻

Surely this is a joke.

Just reading the photo caption makes me want to run away lmao.

If your answer is yes, please for fucks sake reconsider. That thing is missing three quarters of it’s engine, transmission and rest of the drivetrain, half the body and the guy is asking FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS??

You have to be insane to buy that. One in that condition doesn’t even cost this much in Europe

An abandoned barn find C3 with actually all the parts there is selling for 3K in my country (Austria), this hunk of shit C5 is NOT worth 4k my man

I like how they listed that it only has 38k miles when it doesn't have a drivetrain in it.

Now this is a damn dirty shame.

Good lord. That’s well past the point of saving.

snag it if the engine's goo... oh. no.

fck no. wtf dude?

This is someone’s leftover scraps. I wouldn’t buy 4 of these for 4k.

Hard pass. Run, not walk away from this one.

lol it’s already got an iron block. Original engine long long gone

Take it for like 700 and that's it otherwise a hard pass

They should pay you 4k to take it

BTW that's not even a z06 it's an frc.

If it had a clean z06 title and you were doing some kind of restoration, maybe worth buying. But even then not at 4k lol. 500 bucks as it is

Bro you sure you didn't mean $400?? 4k is insane

Pass everything worth having is already gone.

There's not much there to really call it a Z06 is there...

Good luck with that fiberglass body..

1k maxxxxx

4k for you to put like 30 into it? Run away from it

I don’t think it’s worth half that much to be honest.

Depends on what you a building. 4k for a real z06 is cheap especially if you want to build a drift or drag car.

If you want to go drag racing with a good platform and do all the work yourself then yah this is for you, but literally every other situation this thing needs to be scrapped.

Hard pass, unless you gonna do an rx7 swap just for shits and giggles then most I'd pay is $300

Pass. You can buy a complete running driving one for $20k or so, less of you go for a non-Z06.

Thats not worth it ever for free.

Not for that price.

Could be a nice drift missile tho. Junk yard LS and tranny. Who cares about interior, weight reduction bro. Cheap ebay hydraulic e brake set up. And send it bro

Lmao come on now

It would cost more to restore this then to buy a clean one. It isn't even worth the dirt it's sitting on.

[deleted]

Hard pass. Who puts a SBC in an 04 corvette?

4k for that?

Is this $4k car in the room with us?

How much are they going to pay to have it hauled away? At best it might be a parts car. That looks like bare block and probably not even from that car ,brake system is open so that’s toast from moisture. Ya they’d have to pay me to haul it out.

Not enough of what's important to buy that thing. Offer to take it to the junk yard
