That thang has more than just the "engine only" missin!
The PCM and wiring harness is gone too! By the time you bought all the stuff that's gone, you could buy a complete car...why bother?

Maybe it's just me, but I thought that was a lot of money to ask for a car that had been gutted soo back !

But.....you could drop a crate motor in that sucker.......

A ZO6 (LS7) crate motor will run you about $15,000. I think it would be a shame to see someone drop a "plain 'ol" LS1/LS6 engine into that car

I actually thought it was a good price for a roller, considering with an engine that's a $70,000 automobile.
cAN ANY ONE SPELL RACE CAR!!! IF I WAS IN THE POSITION TO DO SO THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I WOULD DO. pRICE WOULD HAVE TO COME DOWN SOME THOUGH!

It wouldn't be a shame to slap a LS1 engine in it if ya' want gas milage!



IMHO, it's WAY over priced.
