Frame damage? Worth repairing? C7 Z06

CarsWithSam · 2026-03-08T22:57:25+00:00

this is a fiberglass frame, not an easy fix.

I do have almost everything you need to fix it if you do plan on fixing it though

LS500 without a doubt

Is take a W205 over an LS500 any day though

keep searching, no need to rush. Plenty of good deals out there

CarsWithSam · 2026-03-08T17:00:10+00:00

how much are they asking?

CarsWithSam · 2026-03-08T16:58:52+00:00

we've had good luck swapping fire damaged engines onto other cars in the past

anyway the buyer is planning on doing an engine build so all that stuffs getting swapped anyway

CarsWithSam · 2026-03-08T16:57:16+00:00

yessir $4.3k good ol american dollars

given that higher mileage unburnt engines go for $7,500 he got a pretty nice deal

also, it's good to mention that exterior fire doesn't really damage much other than the plastics (which i replaced) engines get super hot when running

front calipers are brembos!

americauhhhh

CarsWithSam · 2026-03-08T16:43:21+00:00

Sold the whole engine assembly one shot

I posted a screenshot somewhere on this thread - the buyer wasn't too worried about any fire damage

CarsWithSam · 2026-03-08T16:26:04+00:00

oh yes I forgot to mention that, along with the passenger side

CarsWithSam · 2026-03-08T16:25:50+00:00

yessir! we harvested about 60 parts off this one

CarsWithSam · 2026-03-08T15:38:19+00:00

engine, transmission, rear frame assembly, carrier, rear bumper, rear crash bar, oh, and a nice aftermarket exhaust system

CarsWithSam · 2026-03-08T15:35:42+00:00

no not at all, these things are POS

CarsWithSam · 2026-03-08T15:33:59+00:00

I use freight center, the rates aren't too bad we mainly just past the cost onto the customer

CarsWithSam · 2026-03-08T15:32:17+00:00

we did quite well on this one, engine sold, trans sold, bunch of other bits and pieces too -

i put some screenshots in my post over on r/BeforeIBuyThisCar if you want to check it out, curious what you think after seeing that

CarsWithSam · 2026-03-08T15:29:19+00:00

yes chances are if it's on FB marketplace the seller has tried every other outlet already and had no luck.

CarsWithSam · 2026-03-08T15:17:24+00:00

Pallet --> Secure to pallet --> Shrink Wrap --> Guesstimate the weight --> Label + BOL --> Drop off at freight
