just a speedy reply -
made it to Dino's today.
60 miles away, not a bad trip.
he is going to have the largest Corvette Salvage yard in the US.
Internet based catalog since 2000. Specializes in parts(half of what new costs) but also deals in fixer uppers and will broker deals for you at Insurance Auctions.
Was there when the Z06 came off the truck. Had to put tires on the back to get it off the carrier.(had 6 vettes on a 10 car carrier.. nice site- shame they were all wrecked)
The Z06 needed a new front cap, the impact bar/beam behind that, and what looked like an L-bracket on the pass side of the beam. New ZO6 rims and probably tires too.
Bit of fiberglass work and a replaced driver rear quarter panel.
Apparently some kid owned this one previously.. (based on the extensive amp/speaker box system that ran from the rear seats to the trunk lid) Really shocked that the auction company did not scavange that stuff out.. must have missed it under that carpeted panel.
Dino changed his mind and said he could have it as a daily driver in a week's time. BUT, he does have another Z06 that he and his brother in law are repairing in the back bay. Aprox a week on that repair too.
Expect to have lots of good things to say about Dino's Corvette Salvage in the near future -
