QUOTE (Jeff97FST/A @ Jul 7 2020, 12:11 AM)  Nice to see some activity here. Finally figured out my password, just a quick hello. My f-bod had new england rust issues where the rear sub attached to the floor; oved on from it to a C4, to a C5Z, to a C6Z. Thanks for keeping the lights on! We're trying. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) I've been debating selling the convertible Z28 and moving onto something newer/different. I've already gone through my C4 phase. So I'm looking farther down the road than that I guess. C5's are starting to show their age and have issues. I really dislike the C6 interiors, though I'd probably buy a C6 Z06. I even considered a track package on a new Mustang. But I really don't know what might grab my attention...if anything. lol. But we're still here. I keep thinking I should buy a new 1LE and start a new tech section. I'm just not sure I have it in me to start wrenching at all hours of the night again. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |

I'm finding the freedom to change things on the newer cars without really p!ssing the car off are kind of limited, unless you're very skilled with programming, and even then, it's still limited.
On the plus side, though, a 1LE is such an amazing thing, there's not a lot to change, IMHO. |

Yeah you go putting on stickier tires and then the car is like "Suspension articulation out of specified range for speed!" and undoes everything.

But, parts or a driver, I won't be picky! Ha. I've looked at the pile of parts and I could do a lot better if I parted out the convertible. But I really refuse to destroy a completely rust free and solid car. Even if the top comes off. I might return it to stock and sell it off that way, but I'd love someone to find a nice home for it. It's a pretty neat toy as it sits, I just never get time to drive it and we didn't build a house with a 3 car garage, so it's always blocked in the garage and I am too lazy to get it out. Thus, I think it's time for it to go so I can stop paying to insure it since it never leaves. lol. |

Our 95 had a LOT of good parts on it, too. Granted, it was an LT* car, but it did have a LT4. We finally sold it to friends who absolutely love it. It took years, unfortunately, but we really weren't pushing the car much.
So, patience, young one! You'll find a buyer. I agree, it's better as a unit with OEM spares. Even though you could get more for the parts, what's your time worth pulling them? You CAN now drive it when you want to with what's on it. We still need to thin the herd some, too, but haven't been too active doing that, either. Our only F-body is staying, but I really need to lighten the project list some. Our hands are full of the current motorhome project.
