Are you open to parting the car out? if so you could get 6k for it in parts even with 200k on the clock 3800$ is still way low.
Cause just the hood motor and suspension should bring that.

Frizlefrak

Eric.....saw your car on C-List. It should sell very quickly at that price.

lil eric

i just couldnt bring myself to cut it up. it deserves to be in a garage somewhere and driven on the weekends.

Zralou

If its that easy, why not buy the whole car and make a profit on it yourself.

Great lookin car for the price, if you were a little closer, i'd be all over it. I may still check around on shipping it here...

It is that easy....
But the seller has to want to do it and in this case he does not.

Have you dismantled a car before? What do you do with all the parts that dont sell? How about all the labor involved?

RedLS1GTO

Hood, motor and suspension should bring $3800???

I did a quick search of ads on here and some used part dealers...

200k mile L98 long block = $500 (maybe)

stock C4 hood = $150-$300

200k mile 700R4 trans = $350

200k mile springs front/rear = $200

Misc suspension parts = $300

Roof = $300

Wheels + tires = $200


What am I missing... anybody?



To the OP. Looks like a great driver car. I can't believe somebody hasn't scooped it up yet.

I think you're dead on. Asking prices on parts and actual sales prices are two different things.

lil eric

make me a reasonable offer and its yours to with what you like. im sure if i wasn't in this waste land we call new mexico it may sell easier.

Frizlefrak

Actually Eric, it may be easier here. The market here isn't as flooded as it is in say California or Florida. My 150K mile 84 sold in 3 days from a Craigslist ad. Granted, it was in very nice shape, but there aren't that many decent Corvettes around here for sale that are reasonably priced like yours is.

Yours will sell, and for what you're asking.

I'm pretty sure the owner won't care what you do with it after you put $3,800 in his hand.

That's a quick $2,000+ profit you're passing up.

RedLS1GTO

Have you tried craigslist and the rest? It might take just a bit but somebody will come take it from you.

Zralou

How is the dash?. All gauges work?, any cracking of dash cap?.
Weatherstripping condition?, headlight motors work?.

lil eric

car is sold!
thanks everyone for the kind words and looks.
it went to a very nice older gentleman and will be his first corvette i couldnt be happier to see it get a new lease on life and be taken care of and modded like it should!
he had that big smile, the first vette smile. i remember being that happy the first time i slid into my first vette, and every time after that really.

URUSAINA

This is the perfect driver....

RedLS1GTO

Congrats! He got a good deal on what looks to be a good driver.

My first Corvette was an 87 with about a million miles and a seat held together with duct tape. Now it has a half a million more miles (and new seats) and is still going strong.

kyyote

Hey lil eric, this is that "older gentleman" who bought it. lol I still have that big smile. I'm getting ready to take it on a run to Ruidoso this upcoming weekend. That should be a nice drive.

Alfs86

Congrats on a great deal! Pics required on any road trip. I'll do the same if I'm out there this weekend.

kyyote

Deal. I told my wife the trip was part of her Mother's Day, but she didn't buy it. She said, You just want to drive your car." Busted. lol
