Hello everyone,

I'm going to try to make this as short as possible. I sold my '99 Z28 a few years back as an "adult decision", but I've regretted it since. I've been trying to look around, and see if I could find some busted 3rd gen, or even a rolling chassis. Here's where my question comes in. Where the hell does one go about looking now a days?! All 3rd gens seem crazy expensive, and nothing like what I'm looking for. Places like autotrader, recycler, etc. Don't even seem to list anything older than '97.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this, or if I should post in the classifieds, but I don't think I meet the post requirements. It's been a while.



Thanks in advance

It depends on the level of prep. 3rd Gens tend to turn in a bit better, and tend to be lighter, but the McPherson strut front suspension does have it's limitations. 4th Gens, I think have a bit stiffer body/chassis, out of the box, but tend to be a bit heavier, even with the plastic doors and front fenders.

The shortcomings of each can be overcome, to a point. Decide what you want to ultimately do, and then, really, find a car that's an abandoned project. Building a car from scratch is equivalent to death by a thousand cuts. You'll still be spending money, but the closer to a finished project you buy, you'll get most of the go-fast and safe parts on pennies on the dollar.

Better yet, I've read it more than once on this forum: Buy a Z06 and go have fun.

Now you tell me....where were you a few years ago? (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Seriously, listen to that advice. I have a couple threads around here where I ran out of enthusiasm before getting finished with them.

Now I'm on a quest for a fun daily driver type car that I could autocross on occasion.

I definitely never ran out of enthusiasm. I just ended up selling my car because it was the right thing to do.
Do I miss it? Every single day.
Do I regret selling it? Not at all.

People tend to overprice their unfinished projects, and it would be fun turning something into what I want. I mean, realistically, no project is ever finished. I think it would be fun to do a 3rd gen LS swap, get it running, and slowly build it from there.
