I'm looking for a decent and solid driver with a mid 30's budget. Will consider all years but figure the most car for my budget will be a 64. I do not care about matching numbers but do want a good running, solid frame car. Serious buyer, please pm if you have anything. Thanks and Merry Christmas!

Any limitation to how far you'd travel to see one?

Not really, I am a retired airline pilot so I can travel at no cost. I do plan to look at any car I intend to buy. I made the mistake of buying sight unseen once and I'll never do that again!

Not sure where you're located but here is a 64 Roadster for sale listed in Craigslist for Prescott AZ. Saw this black roadster at our annual Corvette Show in late September and it looked like a decent driver. Non stock seat upholstery, headers, evidence of once having a removable hardtop but no mention of a hardtop with it currently.

Mike and Bob thanks for your replies. The Arizona 64 is the type car I am looking for and I will check it out. Bob your car looks beautiful but it is going to stretch my budget. ( For some reason my wife doesn't think we need another Vette!) I promised I could find what I was looking for in the mid 30s. Which after transportation and taxes puts you at $40k. I am in Missouri so I would prefer something closer but I know I'll have to be willing to look everywhere. There was a pretty nice 66 that sold at the KC Mecum auction earlier this month for $38k but unfortunately I wasn't registered to bid. I believe if I take my time I will find the right car though.

Good luck on your hunt! I understand the wife thing. Mine has no problem with me having a vette, but only one at a time! Go figure!

The black vette looks like a good deal to me.

did you find what you were looking for yet

blue67ragtop

Still looking. I tried to contact the owner of the black 64 in Arizona but received no response. I have been negotiating on a 64 and 66 but have not yet reached a firm deal. We are pretty close though on the 64. If you have anything however I would be interested in hearing about it.

PM's responded to, thanks.

did you buy st.louis car-just curious

blue67ragtop

Hi Jim: No not yet.That situation is somewhat difficult in that while the owner initially was ready to sell he has family members discouraging him. He is still on the fence. Did you decide whether or not you were going to let yours go?

Jimbo64

will pm you

I traveled 500 miles to Michigan today and bought a nice 66 roadster from a forum member. Great guy who was very honest in his description and a pleasure to deal with.
