Always been a sucker for a project car. Especially a C6 Z06! Was fortunate enough to come across this 2008 Z06 in need of some serious mechanical love. The LS7 has left the chat! Follow along as I bring it back to better than showroom condition! Should be a fun series!

I like guys like you, You remind me of guys like me. I restored a 1969 Z28 with my best friend. He had been looking for a Z for months. One day while driving our way to Austin from Killeen he spotted the roof of a camaro next to what looked like a warehouse, which turned out to be a barn. We turned back to take a look and it was a 69 Z28, all original. It had been rolled in a drag race, the original motor was in the trunk. We made an offer he accepted, and we were off to the restoration. We had to replace the roof, hood and both rear fenders, all parts we were able to purchase off of car magazines at the time (1978). It took us 2 years of working on weekends and holidays. I taught myself how to weld and he did most of the mechanic work while I assisted. I haven't seen him in years (I moved away). I hear he still drives it daily, red with white stripes. Then we resorted my 1969 427/390hp Corvette. I sold it years later. Then we restored my brothers 1971 Challenger 340 with 202 heads, Plum Purple...what a blast. I'm old now, but those are some of my most cherrished memories.

Looks like a fun project car. Be sure to thoroughly flush out the oil cooler, dry sump tank, and interconnecting oil lines, or your new engine will be toast as well.

Subscribed Chris. You seem very level headed and knowledgeable and I look forward to your rebuild of one of the great performance cars, the C6 Z06. I am in the stock is best camp but I prefer originality...especially if the plan is to flip the car....consider that if changing the wheel finish or wrapping the roof. PS. No telling why the motor grenaded. Previous owner could have run it out of oil which is common if an eye isn't kept on it running high RPM at the track, could have missed a shift etc. Will be real curious to see the status of the heads...how you pull the motor out with the torque tube etc. Best of luck
