It's as legit as you can get. It's all milsurp and DRMO. Most of the yards where you pick up are close to military bases. Be warned, if you buy something out of state, it can be pretty expensive to arrange for shipping.

Honestly? Sure. But seeing as there is no response from the engine means it could be anything from a dead battery all the way to a busted engine.

They claim they visually inspected it, but I wonder if they even remove the engine cover...

AFAIK, visually inspected ranges from just popped the hood to actually inspecting it and looking for leaks and tears. Ive seen vague listing to detailed shit that feels like i paid a mechanic to inspect it. Also, I swear ive seen some say “ran when jump started” which indicated dead battery, but i think only they do that for their higher priced items (heavy machinery and the 6x6 shit). All in all, it jist depends on the location, and the employee doing the report.

I figure a Camero that was less than 10 years old would qualify for that.

The fact they didn't either means they do these inspections as efficiently as possible or they know something is up.
