  • The C5 Corvette Z06 is a dream car for many. Finding one stashed away in a storage unit for dirt cheap. How could it get any better? The catch is, this corvette z06 hasn’t run in more than 3 years. Also, it doesn’t have a key. Minor details for the Corvette Z06 enthusiasts.
    Well, a daunting task it turned out to be to get this corvette z06 back on the road. Basic maintenance items like tires, oil, and new fuel are on the top of the list. But, it becomes apparent very early that this corvette z06 needs more than that. Join us on the journey to get this corvette z06 back on the road!

    On the front of that trailer put a lockable aluminum battery box with dual 6V batteries wired in series for 12v then put on a $25 solar panel on the lid to keep them charged and you won't have dead winch batteries and lots of power. ....at 25:55 and on looks like it has had a bumper and headlight cover paint work.

    Awesome! I had this car in a 2004 LeMans Edition. Same Nitto 305's out back. Always wished for more power like this. If I had known, we would never see $27,000 cars again, I would have risked it all for a blower. Or I would have atleast kept the dang car. Back in the day, like in 2003, when we were all on "Car Domain" site, some guy had one with the hood cut out for a chrome Magnussen. So many cars like that were so fun to watch online, but to do it, another thing. A guy in Corvette Mag, had the procharger up to 650, and said the clutch was really his toughest problem. Thanks.

    Break it in good w/ the wheel jack scratch. once I had a oil pressure drop I pulled the pan and found factory silicone gasket material that worked its way off inner pan on assembly then stuck itself onto the oil pump screen. mid 90's car Ford Mustang.

    When a car sits for so long, you have to keep cranking and let the seals warm and and build compression I think. That is why it probably wasn’t starting at first.

    It's ultra cute that this guy didn't consult with Dr. Jimothy Jimenez before investing his dollars in a Chevy. Maybe if he had turned to the great philosopher Testihklees before buying a car with no warranty, he could have saved himself 15% on insurance with geico.

    That sale seems a little dishonest. No keys, sitting in a storage unit for years, and delayed transfer of title. Sounds a bit like it might've been a storage unit auction that the guy won or something similar is going on.
