LOL, it's not even a steal at $1k.
LS swap but reuse the turbos?
Captain Obvious' car - It's a biturbo - of course it needs work plus a little New Jersey rust adds that extra something.
What could go wrong?
Nice find.
In related news cheap boats, cheap airplanes and cheap tequila can also be found.
Could a C4 Corvette be hacked up to serve as a front subframe and rear subframe donor to a BiTurbo shell without it making the guy person doing it lose their mind? This is just talk and not something I would do. It seems like the front of the BiTurbo contains a not very reliable engine and a lot of fragile or hard to find components along with a dumb wheel pattern. The rear is kind of the same just more differential and less engine.
If the NJ BiTurbo could be bought right, say $400 or less, and then a crusty C4 donor could be bought right...
Cheap Biturbo? As if there's any other kind...

Why not just fix the Corvette?

Because people will just say, " oh, a Corvette".
I wonder what RWD vehicles have a similar wheel base... that would be the easy button.
Aren't they about e30 sized?
There used to be a street legal bi-turbo near me though I never saw it used in anger or even mildly miffed. And every time I see an AMG bi-turbo like today I have to chuckle. 
In reply to Woody:
It seems like a lot of the BiTurbo's are parked because of mechanical issues (and maybe electrical). It seems like cheap C4's are cheap because they need fiberglass work, they're just kind of tired, and the drivetrains really weren't that great from the factory until the LT-5 and LT1 showed up.
I really like how the BiTurbo looks. The C4 seems to have pretty good suspension design, aftermarket support, brakes, and you can do a lot of cool things with the engines that came in them. This is about taking some of the best attributes of two cheap cars and combining them into one difficult project.
the cheaper the bi-turbo is, the more expensive they are.
Biturbo has a 99" wheelbase. C4 = 96.2", Audi 90 from late 80s = 100", early 90s Crammit and fox mustang = 101"
2g AWD eclipse is a 98.6" wheelbase
Z32 chassis 300zx 2+2 is 101". You could probably mix and match Z32 pieces to have a twin turbo Bi-turbo-zx.
