Here's some pics of interior and some others since I didn't get a lot of bites. I'm just trying to buy a house so I am OBO. Thanks for your interest GrandSport
Forgot to mention it isn't dusty anymore. These are just ones I had off hand.
Thanks.. Your car looks very interesting.. I'm closing on the sale of a property early June (so, 4 weeks from now).. If you still have it by then, your car is one of about 4 cars that I'm very interested in..

Still for sale! I'm not firm on 17k. Even price suggestions would be accepted. I know y'all know your stuff on here.

If you'll still have it in 3 to 4 weeks, I might show up with cash in hand.. There are actually 3 Vettes that I'm interested in in Texas.. however, not in the same area.. Yours in Austin, one in San Antonio (similar to yours, just with newer paint) and a 2006 Convertible in McAllen...
I'm considering chrome bumper C3 convertibles and C6 Convertibles.. Not sure what I will buy but I certainly will buy a Vette once I close on the sale of the property I'm selling. Unfortunately, they are using USDA financing and it takes forever.. We are past home inspection and now they will do the appraisal on Monday or Tuesday.. Appraisal shouldn't be a problem as the house will appraise $20k to $30k higher than my sales price... Then we have to wait for underwriting etc.. Hopefully around June 9 I'll have money to shop for Vettes..
There is also another forum sellers '68 in VA and another C6 Convertible in Michigan that I'm considering.. Several options right now but I have no idea if any of them will still be available when I have the money..
I sold my yellow '68 Convertible in similar condition to yours 3 years ago except that the paint was newer, so I know what they are worth...

WOW! Some good selections sir! Very hard to compete with the manuals as those are definitely more fun. However, I can sweeten the deal and go $15k.. still obo because I'm about to close on the house and need $$. Personally the other red one with side pipes is pretty sweet but I can personally say mine was serviced 40 miles ago/3 weeks ago. New rubber all the goodies i spoke of. I'm even throwing in, (new) moroso trans gasket and trans filter. timing cover, gas cap. I'll give you the original '69 tires that were removed from the wheel and the wheel trim rings as well. I didn't put those back on for fear of damaging.

Let me know if you have any questions,

That sounds like a very reasonable deal. Like I said before, I'm closing on the sale of one of my houses early June. So, if you have it by then, I will very likely come there to see it in person and if it meets my expectations, the price seems fair. I will only have enough money after the closing when they wire the money to my account. I would probably paint the car black as I like the combination of black exterior with red interior.. i would also add stainless sidepipes and 17" torq thrust wheels or cragars...
Anyways, i have to wait and hope that my sale goes through. We are past inspection and appraisal is this week and then the loan goes to USDA for approval.. probably 3 weeks from now until closing. Buyers were pre-qualified but you never know..

I'm not really sure... Like to get a big block C3 with 4spd... And the all red interior is not really my taste... But 15k starts to get interesting...
Although the USD-EUR exchange rate is quite bad for me this time...

This is a very solid deal as described. The Color combo is killer. Good luck with the sale. What modern car used car can you get for $15k?
I'm down to 3 cars in my search... this is one of the 3...
1 2007 C6 Convertible
1 1968 big block convertible
this car...
Unless one of them sells in the next 12 days or so, I will likely purchase one of those 3..
If the paint would be newer, I would certainly take this one but with the cost of a decent paint job being $5k and up, I'm looking into other options also.. Love the color combo even though I might paint the car black.. Black/red is a killer combo too!
