VITIV Coupe

One of the best color combinations. Looks beautiful. And a body off restore as well. Looks like a tilt wheel. good for some of us getting in and out. GLWTS. I am sure this will sell fast. I have not seen one in this condition for this price. It could not be duplicated for the asking price.
Even Terry says "buy the best car you can afford for the $". If you like green/saddle and a 67 it does not get better than this.

Thanks for all the comments and inquiries...happy to report car sold in 24 hrs from initial posting.

Unfortunately, the potential buyer did not get wife's blessing, so he did not buy the car.

I do not think you will have a problem finding another buyer.

Revfan

Well... too bad for that guy...

If I could afford a second one, I'd be jumping on this...

But MAYBE I could afford the 67 Corvette Avenue Sign... or trade for a T-shirt?

Bowtyeguy

I think that same guy was at my house last week. Thats got to be the most lame reason for backing out.


Your car will sell, very fast.

Like they said on Mecum today, 45K is a lot of Pampers.

I'd have bought the car and asked for forgiveness ! ( oh wait - been there, done that )

Cars like this are like hens teeth - hard to find and when you do you gotta grab em up.

Revfan

guilty

I kept a list of the phone calls and emails in chronological order as they were received. Happy to report that an NCRS inspection (2.5 hrs) was completed yesterday and sale was completed today. $$ wired to me and title overnighted to gentleman in North Carolina. Thanks to all for comments and inquiries. This IS the best forum on the planet....Jim

Congrats! I need to move faster, I guess I just missed being ahead of your buyer by hours

This forum does seem to be awesome, even though I am new.

The best cars do move quickly.

Just so you guys know, I just got back from Carlisle and nothing was close to this in the price range and shape. Mershons bought a 65 or 66 with 3 tail lites and not nearly as nice for a little bit more. This was a good deal.

Revfan

I had the same experience when I went to Carlisle, to many buyers and not enough good cars. But I didn't want to burst anyone's bubble who was going there looking for a car.

I have been looking at 67s for some time (both coupe and convertible) and its rare to find a decent driver between 35K and 45K. This one looks "done" and ready to roll.

I hope whoever got it was somebody here at the forum.

I don't know if he is a CF member, but this forum is the only advertising we did other than word of mouth locally and at local car shows....Jim

I too was at Carlisle yesterday trying to find a good deal. A lot of empty car corral spaces.....not much to pick from. A nice modified 66 coupe was 35K, already sold.
I guess the good deals will be there Sunday morning.......it's raining here in Carlisle today off and on.
