Thanks guys for your efforts.... Still no car, but looking. I only get reply's on maybe 2/3 of the listings I write to... maybe the cars are long gone by the time I get there....

So, Spring is definitely in the air, and the Car shows/events are starting back up again. If you hear of anything in your local club, neighborhood, Fraternal Order of anyone selling a car, please let me know.

I am trying to keep an open mind... and folks are telling me I won't find anything for $50.... but hope springs eternal.

My heart is really with the 65s-67s.. and I still have a few odds and ends parts and ALL the books and AIMS...though I am TRYING to keep an open mind.

Thanks for the help guys... I really appreciate it!

So, not to be antagonistic, but, do you have sellers remorse, second thoughts on selling yours? Or is the thrill of the hunt still exciting?
Thanks

This is an interesting car....claims original paint, top, and one owner from new. The interior door panels may be original too.... Doesn't mention if the engine is original, but it looks like a rather untouched car.

I can inspect it for you if you want, it's 15 minutes from home.

No problem, I don't mind and don't take it the wrong way.

I had the car, and as I have said in another thread... I took it as far as I could go. I cleaned up the engine bay, rebuilt or restored everything inside, replaced wire harness, seats... and got down to the Paint and Chrome... and I didn't have the money to take it over the top.

About that that time, somebody was looking for the exact car I had... so it just kind of worked out.

Honestly, I kind of like the hunt... I just have had a few dead ends... and with spring coming, I am getting anxious to get a car for the summer.

The guy who bought my car has it completely apart and is having everything done professionally... So, it went to a good place... no regrets.

I was looking on Craigslist Boston area this morning. A red 65 AC convertible with 2 tops caught my eye. 1 owner, original paint, orig paperwork. It's a 300 horse PG which detracts a little but still looks like a nice car. . Asking $53,000. Might be worth a look.

How about a 67 air coupe with factory side exhaust and bolt-ons?

Stock Appearance

Things I'd rather avoid
Any frame/Birdcage issues
Repro Vin Tags & Trim Tags (already have been saved by a savvy inspector... thanks Pancho!)
Body Color that doesn't match the trim tag code.
Bubba style Repairs especially to the glass
Black interiors... though its not a deal killer depending on body color

I've been around here long enough to know that a few of you have been contemplating moving on from your car for various reasons...
If you have "been thinking about selling", please let me know as if I am only chasing Craigslist Ads, I'll end up a day late and a dollar short most of the time.



PM or E-mail, let me know what you know!
Craigslist Seattle, 67 327/350 nom, red. Call Ron @206 510-0037. Asking $49,500.

Yes... I have seen it....

Honestly though, while I am pretty flexible, I would like the exterior to match the trim tag of the car...

Thanks for keeping a look out for me... That blue coupe is nice... just a bit out of reach at $75K.

I am getting a little discouraged as spring is upon us and summer is right around the corner. I was hoping that I could get in touch with a member here that had decided to sell their car ( or one of em), but that usually happens at the end of summer/fall/winter.

Its a waiting game for sure.

I know what you mean about finding the right owner for your car. It makes a difference. I just had a similar experience selling my '70 LT1 Convert. My buyer bought one just like mine brand new in 1970 from a settlement from a motorcycle accident. He is doing what the new owner of your old Vette is doing, making it better. I really liked my LT1, but Steve loves it and I am glad he was the buyer. He is eventually going to donate to the Corvette Museum, as they do not have a '70 LT1 Convert on display. With the money I was able to buy my Yellow/Green Packer Vette, affectionately named Bart Starr. Revfan you will find the car that is meant for you. Don't force it, let it come to you. I am keeping my eye out for you.
