DRM '97 Lemans LT5 for sale(with car)

[Meanmyz]

Hey guys, I have seen this car on Autotrader for the last several months and thought I would help bring it to your attention. Without the engine's special history, getting a Rippie 600 HP 385 car, PLUS another stock LT5 for the asking price of $32,000 seems like a very good deal for someone. The ad currently doesn't have pictures, but it used to.

With 5 C4's in my garage now, and future mod plans for the newest one, I'm out. Your thoughts on this car? Has anyone seen it or know the condition?

Been there for awhile, I think this was discussed on the other forum.....that engine would have been out of the elise GT-1, not the Z at lemans

really good deal indeed. don't see the 385 DRM cars very often. and with a spare LT5 as a kicker, you could sell it and come away with a nice affordable stroker.

wish I had the coin. I really miss my old DRM 450 it got me started on the whole ZR-1 thing and I had alot of fun in that car.

Does anybody know if this car is on consignment? For a dealership to have it with all this extras seems odd, unless its the owners. Its in my price range so I'm curious. Any idea who did own this car? At work now so I cant call the dealership.
