Yep.
Salvage title with 65,000 real miles on it.
If you google the vin you will see more. That being said the damage wasnt bad, pity the seller isnt honest with the mileage as the damage was cosmetic and seems to have been repaired well from the pics I saw.
He has been advised of the real mileage as has ebay.

I think it may be related to a viper coupe with a similar tale thats being sitting around unsold for a long time..

65k seems expensive for a car like that! As always buyer beware....

65k miles and accident repaired - he may struggle to get £30k I reckon. Shame as it looks nice.

Good spot. I am seeing too much of this at the moment having recently been contacted by a man with Z06 which had an engine rattle. We have diagnosed it as a failed big end but the car is also a write off in the US. I can't even begin to think how you would value a Category C/D Z06 with a wrecked engine.....

Not such a bad price, the pics I saw showed it was only panel damage and the guy replaced them.
Looks like he then sold it on. If its runs well its a good buy IMO. Dodgy mileage though, the guy should be taken to court as I told him that it was wrong and sent him the proof.
