Default No longer a C4 owner...........
Sorry guys, I was offered $17,000.00 worth of paving for my C4, so it is gone. I know I'm not welcome in this area without owning the car, but am still a vette owner with the lowly '77 and '07, can I still come and visit?

Also- anyone want to buy a '77 auto?


This is what the '84 got me.....

There's nothing wrong with a good barter. Both parties benefit and uncle sam well he gets what he should nothing.
I'll still welcome you.
I like it.

If you got 17k for an 84 in this economy my hat's off to you. Enjoy your other two Vettes and stop by to see us any time.

Yes, and thanks.

It is 40x50x12, holds all these plus all my machining equipment.

I hope to add 20x40 on the left side in the spring, 30x40 on the right side the year after.

Default $17,000 - ?
Being in the construction business.... you got ripped off !!!!!

That paving is worth maybe $10K at the most.

Although his 84 looked nice, how much do you think it can realistically sell for today? I think he scored. Opinions may vary.

That seems like alot of money for that little bit of paving, maybe the construction market is better in Alberta ? For the $$$ it should have been done in concrete IMO.
If you are happy thats all that matters.



I'm an 84 owner myself, so maybe that was a good price.

which is probably realistically what the 84 was worth so I think he did just fine.

Your still welcome here; a Vette owner is a Vette owner, it doesn't matter what year you have. You had a C4 so your knowledge and opinion is still needed here.
