I think the frame might have some issues but all the hardware you see corroded is only black oxide coated not painted, the frame is painted with color and then black so it has some protection...but I can see the front shock mounts are corroded but that just means coil overs!

Its the inside of the frame Id be worried about.There too many beat cars out there to buy this for a major project.If I had the money and space I WOULD BUILD A ZR-1 CONVERTIBLE!I was kind of hopping the car that Brett bought would have been one of the Z ragtops.I figure for $20,000 you could buy both the Z and a clapped out convertible,let the fun begin.

Can't believe the price right now. I'd love to have this thing sitting next to the 88 when I build it. Good reference anyway. Not for $4k+ though.

The body parts are worth more than the bids but its transporting home that is stupid money.

the high bidder is 0 feedback and its at $5100 this would have been a fun one to get and tear apart but way to much

I love this comment in the Description.

".... engine has oxidation and heavy patina.... "

Maybe heavy patina can become a new powdercoat color for all of those Rat-Rod ZR-1s out there.

This is really a waste of cash........anything that is electrical or rotates is trashed.....might as well throw your money away.

I dont know Lee, I think I would give 2,500 just for the rare forced air option

Yes, the forced air probably made for a great path for the salt water to go right into the motor as it rose.....wonder what the Iron insides of the LT-5 look like. Should be fun pulling the plugs out. I have seen cars like this in my job, at first people are like, let me keep the salvage it seems fine, then the wheel bearings seize, etc.

Unfortunately I have seen some pretty nice cars meet this fate, including an original GT500

This car reminds me of the Tulsa Belvedere.
