Wrecked C6 Corvette Comes With PossibilitiesFor well under $10,000, you can buy this wrecked C6 Corvette and maybe do something special with it. The guy selling the American sports car, for which he claims to have a salvage title, says his original plan was to turn it into a restomod.
Watch an Arkansas trooper flip a fleeing BMW and his cruiser.
We’re not quite sure how something that’s only two generations old would qualify as a restomod, but we’re guessing he was going to do an engine swap. You could guess what engine he had in mind and why he didn’t go forward with the plan.

We assume it runs and drives in its current state, but that’s an assumption and we would absolutely ask before moving forward with a purchase. If you’re wanting to replace the damaged body parts while taking the risk of more damage you can’t see in the photos, this might be a great buy.
The seller does admit the front suspension was damaged in the collision. All of the necessary parts are in high enough supply you shouldn’t be struggling to find them.

But this purchase would be for gearheads who aren’t afraid of risk and have experience building or restoring cars. Is that you? What would you do with this ‘Vette?
