No. Not as a rolling shell as the expensive parts are not included

It's not luisV8's as his is Jersey plated

I don't understand.

Why not just flog the car, and buy a new engine and gearbox?

A bit odd, really makes no sense whatsoever.

Why not just buy an LS3 and tr6060? Rather than rendering a car virtually valueless for it's inferior ls2, S/H clutch and t56.

I bet the lucky customer will find he's thinking about removing the PCM and ancillaries also, which makes £8000 for the roller a laugh.

There are going to be some not inconsiderable costs in uplifting an immobile vehicle from that location too.


Can think of a good, easy to home tune project for that. à la Stick100, but all alum 427. It would be £25,000+ to complete though, even with a lot of personally supplied labour.

Not sure they have thought this through lol.


They are practically making the car worthless by remove the engine and box.

I thought Stick's car was advertised by Raving for around the £5k mark - though I may be wrong. I know they've appreciated since Stick bought his, but not by that much.

Before I'd even gotten to your reply I was already thinking that.

Even if I was fortunate enough to have 8 large burning a hole my pocket this is still a bad deal.
