97 z28 for $300?
i had someone offering me a 97 z28 auto hard top not running for $300, it's been sitting for a while and seams like #8 plug got shot out of the treads, it has a Borla exhaust system in great shape that alone is worth that much, even dough i don't need another car the challenge is very tempting...is it worth the trouble?

I would buy It!! That's a steal even if you buy it and resell it or call one of those car sale numbers you will get $1000. or fix the engine and flip the car for profit. I would take it just for parts so I could build a cheap LSX engine to put in my 86 Camaro. If you have the extra money, space, time, tools and know what your doing it's well worth it.

I don't have the time to part it out and really don't want to do it.
I need to clean up my yard so $300 come and get it. Bring a trailer. As stated, between rear and exhaust you could double your money lol.

if it was manual i would get it, but living in a town house and we already have 4 cars i only have room for 1 more and that's it, i can fix the engine myself as i already build a few but no time and patience for that anymore.

I'm picking it up tomorrow, i have a place to put it and the wife's blessing...lol.
But it's not being parted out, i have to diagnose/fix the problems, do a compression test, get it running and if needed pull out the engine to rebuilt, it also needs some body work and paint, maybe a satin black?

I'd honestly helicoil the #8 plug and send it down the road but even that is too much work for me to do lol. I have my work truck torn apart for a rebuild, my plow truck torn apart for rockers and cab corners and my Pete has an air leak behind the dash that I haven't even looked at.
