Guys, I had salad shooters on my car for the winter, so if I posted a picture, would you assume I changed the...........
- nose
- hood
- fenders
- interior
...................of an LT1 car, or simply put LT1 wheels onto my LS1 car?!

Based on everything --- the "overall" picture --- an LS1 car with 45,000 miles on it, advertised as a '99, oh, but with '93-'96 salad shooters...................I say it's a '99 LS1 (that's been hit in the front, maybe side as well, hence a nose that doesn't line up, and doors that look sorta mis-matched color-wise ).

I don't know how that price lines up with other LS1's of the same year, etc., but if the car seems in good condition other than it needs some body panel alignment, I'd consider it (but then again, I've driven a couple fix-'er-uppers before I got my Z28!).

 

Given that the rear brake calipers are mounted on the front side of the axle, I'd say with good certainty that the car is a LS1 car. On LT1s, the rear calipers are located on the back side of the axle.

 

Like stated earlier, this car has been in a nice accident do to the lines not lining up. To add to the post above the car has a B&M ripper shifter from what I can tell with a 6spd tranny due to the shift pattern emblem on the center console. I would never buy a sport car especially one with 300+hp that has a salvage title, unless he can prove that it was only flooded, body damage, never. I'd buy it for about $2K and take the motor and tranny out.

 

Another vote for don't bother with that piece. If you look hard enough you will find one twice as nice and no questionable for around the same price.

 

1997 LT1s had the same dash as the 1998..

 

I have the salad shooters on my 99 Z, i have no idea how they got on there, but they are there. 2 previous owners and i know the last one, so who knows. My car is definately a 99 Z though

 

i agree. the wheels say Lt1 but i wouldnt necessarily say that the mirrors are lt1. my 99 ls1 z has black mirrors. 99 is the last year that the black mirrors were manufactured. so the 98 and 99 ls1's got those

 

i wouldnt waste my time with it bro, youd be sad if u bought it, its junk. prolly has a bent frame and god knows what else is ****ed up on it.

 

Definately wouldn't waste my time on the car. It had to be a pretty nasty accident for the hood to look so off. It didn't have a nose emblem and I didn't see any fog lights. besides that is kinda high. Especially for one that is questionable.
