A Chevy dealer...what does a Chevy dealer today know about painting a 51 year old Corvette that any volume-driven paint shop would? C'mon, seller!

Dayum - I am sooooooooo upset that I didn't see this until after the auction ended! Oh well, it didn't sell, so I can still dream!

Well, all you guys that lamented that you missed the auction, quit crying because the car has been relisted. Now the bidding should get interesting since you guys got a second chance.

I would have paid more than asking price for #54.

Sorry, not #53.

PS, for $225k, learn how to spell "Sting Ray."

I think I'll send an email and tell him I'm in if he'll move the decimal point over just one number to the left. Not too much to ask right?

I posted it as a lark but, really, what is this cretin thinking about?
I mean its not a bit over-priced - its like 300% over-priced on its best day.

I would let mine go for half his Buy-It-Now price

Good one, Frankie -
I was getting more excited, as I was working my way down all the
replies, but in 5 years - - - - - all 63 SWC that are matching #'s, and
stock, will be going for that price. The guys that have chopped their cars, will be putting them back to stock.

Ha!

I just think it'll keep coming up relisted again and again, with a big price drop over time if the guy's smart (doubtful though)...I don't think he's attending any Mensa meetings

But then I think about the filthy, yellowed, non-factory floor mats that just sold for $960.
Maybe this guy is on to something...

The Forum member who bought my original part numbered over the counter set for $450.00 got a great deal.
