Cleveland area people? Posted By: Greenbird On: 05-10-2008 @ 10:54:52 Reply | Edit Anyone here from the Cleveland area and would be willing to look at a car for me? It's a rebuilt title which makes me a bit leery, and i don't really want to make a 7 hour drive just to look at a car. http://ls1tech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=917364 Also, wasn't there a guy on here that had a silver z06 that got wrecked? I wonder if this could be his car. -- Dave '02 M6 WS6 337 rwhp / 358 rwtq  Posted By: dan On: 05-10-2008 @ 11:17:31 Reply | Top | Edit i think was it bobgodd? something like taht had a what i thought i remembered as being blue but i could be wrong that got totalled, i also thought he was in cali? my memory sucks though so i could be wrong...what do you want to look at that junker for? -- 98 formula m6 13.125 at 105.22 1.949 60' with just a lid 84 trans am 92 d250, 99 firebird Posted By: Greenbird On: 05-10-2008 @ 11:26:37 Reply | Top | Edit Just cause it's a salvage title doesn't mean it's a junker. -- Dave '02 M6 WS6 337 rwhp / 358 rwtq Posted By: dan On: 05-10-2008 @ 11:57:22 Reply | Top | Edit no, its a junker bc its a vette  -- 98 formula m6 13.125 at 105.22 1.949 60' with just a lid 84 trans am 92 d250, 99 firebird Posted By: Greenbird On: 05-10-2008 @ 12:00:14 Reply | Top | Edit  I'm actually looking into z06's because I'm tired of my junker.
Lets face it, a 4th gen is a cheap corvette. We but it for the engine, not the build quality. -- Dave '02 M6 WS6 337 rwhp / 358 rwtq Posted By: dan On: 05-10-2008 @ 12:28:57 Reply | Top | Edit i did it bc i like the looks better, could have just as easily have bought a vette though you'll end up driving the vette like a wimp just the same as you do the trans am, i told ya..let me borrow it for a few days, i'll slap the bitch around for ya LOL -- 98 formula m6 13.125 at 105.22 1.949 60' with just a lid 84 trans am 92 d250, 99 firebird Posted By: ChimpysZ28 On: 05-10-2008 @ 15:00:43 Reply | Top | Edit Greenbird are you keeping your Ta? --  Posted By: Greenbird On: 05-10-2008 @ 15:24:13 Reply | Top | Edit Not if I get Vette -- Dave '02 M6 WS6 337 rwhp / 358 rwtq Posted By: stevethepirate On: 05-10-2008 @ 17:04:43 Reply | Top | Edit i left ohio last night. otherwise i would have been able to help you out. sorry. --

Honestly it depends on who rebuilt it. If it's quality work, then theirs no reason not to. I knew the guy I bought my car off of and trust me his work is second to none. That was the only car I put subframes on where you didn't have to twist the body before welding them on to line the gaps up. he went out of his way to over correct the body to compensate for factory flex/flaws. If it's junk, you 'll notice off the bat. Just look at door gaps, hood/bumper/fender gaps etc and check for leaks around the windows. If their way out steer away from it it's probably got other issues under lying. biggest thing is to get it on a lift and check out the floor pan and see how it's shaped, and make sure it's not all hacked up and half assedly welded back together. also depends on how it was totaled, was it an accident or a flood? if it was a flood don't be afraid to pull the intake (very easy in those cars BTW) and look in the ports for mud and such. also pull the blower motor and look inside the HVAC system for crap. as always, buyer beware. cover your ass and check everything good, being it's a Vette, it's probably done right, thats not a car you repair cheap to make a quick buck on. Some one had to rebuild it because they wanted it for themselves. Which is usually a sign of willingness to go above and beyond to do a better job and make it right. -- Nothing. Well, a '96 GMC 2500HD, 6.5 diesel, auto, and 167k miles. Extended cab, Long bed. Land yacht.
