Air Conditioning (Blows Cold)
Automatic Transmission.

Any frame rust?

I'm from Syracuse NY... my last car from Syracuse broke in half while I was cruising down Rt 81 between Syracuse & Binghamton.

The windshield cracked right down the middle.

Be honest now... :)

Xracer

No rust here sir! :cheers:

OK, I'll take a shot at it, as it appears no one else wants to.
I have been shopping around on the other Vette dealer sites.
I think if that car was at a dealer's lot the price would
be at the least $19,000, up to $24,000. Check it out
yourself, surf the net. That car looks very, very clean
and well maintained. Good luck.
:cool: :seeya

I just looked at the pics again, I think my quesstimations
were a bit low.

That would be nice. :cheers:

So You want to buy it? :D

Not sure my Buddie just bought a really nice 1980 model with a rebuilt original motor new seats and tons of new items for $5,800...Yours is Cleaner though

Twin_Turbo

Wow, that is a really really nice job there :) Why would you want to sell it? Looks like you've put a lot of effort into it. It's a keeper. I'd try to keep it and buy the C4. You will probably never find a car as nice as yours.

Thanks. I really have worked hard on keeping it in nice condition. If I did make a move I would get a C-4/ C-5 just a clean.

Holy crud thats clean. You sure you didnt snap some of those pics when you picked it up from the dealer back in 1980 !??!

J/K! but dang! :cool:

Xracer

Thanks, I little Simple Green and elbow grease does the trick. Also good camera angles. :jester

The_Dude

That's absolutely beautiful. With the economy as depressed as it is, I'd say you should be able to get around $15k from the right buyer. I wouldn't settle for less. :cheers:

Joe,
We have talked plenty about our 80 L82 vettes, and I would just like to add that I hope to get my vette as clean as yours someday. That dual exhaust is gonna be nice on mine. If I had the extra $$$$ I would buy yours to have a matching pair! :D

Xracer

Hopefully you will have the pipes tomorrow. Look good don't they. :cheers:

Xracer

Anyone else? :sad:

It is a 96 right? And how was the transaction? I was thinking about seeing Turner's to see what the trade in of mine would be. :cry

Red73s brother here. I and another coworker have purchased from Holt Auto Sales. As with any dealer there are good stories and horror stories. We both here had good experiences with Holt.
I love the 96. I am not the wrench turner that my brother is. So I wanted something that would cruise nicely without having to rebuild it. The drive from Michigan to Rochester was great. I have had the pleasure of driving Rods previous C3 and while it kicked butt I prefer the easier ride of the C4s (I am after all the 'older' brother).
If you see something in the Holt lineup I would be glad to take a closer look for you. :seeya

I just might take up on that. The purpose of moving to a 91+ 6 speed is to not work on them as much. But the wife is having a heart attack. "You’re going to sell it after doing all that work to it,” she says. So a newer one might not happen. But if someone goes for my car this winter at the right price then ya never know.
