Here's the left side bird cage area. Just surface rust as far as I can see.

Looks promising from the latest pics. The front damage doesn't look like too big a deal although the rear would be a challenge for a novice but perhaps a new tailight panel would make the rear repair less difficult. Neither end looks like its been hit so hard as to have twisted the frame or birdcage so that's a plus as is the fact that its a California car. I think the $3750 price is reasonable.

Thanks for the encouraging words from you'all. I'm sure if this car was back east it would have been gone in a heartbeat, but you know how the west coast buyers are. If its not perfect and cheap...well you know the rest...LOL!!! I've been plugging away on little stuff on it as time goes buy. Wow, now the shifter moves and I can get the key out of the ignition...Yea!!! It's all about the small things in life that makes me put one foot in front of the other....

I've had a couple of people ask me about the "Flared" fenders...just to be clear the fenders are not flared but the tires are too small for the car. They are just roller tires I had to buy at a local tire shop to move the car. The tires the car had on it would not hold air.
Oh yeah...BTTT

I already have 1 C3 project and I have to sell the C4 track car before I start building a Vintage race car.

Want to know the number one reason why your car isn't selling?

#1 Reason is: You are trying to sell it on the forum.

Sad but true, 98% of the members here already have a vette. Most people when they are in the market for a vette, do not look at corvetteforum. Post it for sale somewhere locally like on Craigslist etc. It is rare that a car changes hands over this forum, at least from my experience.

I never knew of the Corvette Forum when I was looking to buy my C3. Wish I had been aware of it at the time.
