Default WTB cheap C4 Corvette

Hello everyone. The title pretty much says it all. I am looking to buy any C4 Corvette, but I would prefer one between the years 1990 through 1996. I would be fine with a project car as I'm planning on making a simple grand sport like replica. I plan on rebuilding the engine so high miles aren't too big of an issue if the body is in good condition. Either manual or automatic transmission is fine. I don't want anything that has been in an accident or doesn't have a clear title. I might be willing to work with a car that has no engine or transmission or bad interior if the price is right. I would prefer to get the best condition possible but that goes without saying
will make offer based on condition. I'll start with a modest offer of 3,000 to give everyone an idea
will also travel to you to look and offer, although I only want something relatively close to me here in wyoming. but if you think you have something perfect I might be willing to travel.

I've been looking for a couple of years now and the price has always been way too high for something I want for a fun, recreational project. I'm just asking for someone to be fair. I'll do right by someone who at least meets me half way.

my email is soonerorfuture@yahoo.com

you can reach me best by my email. I check it daily. I'll also be checking this.
thanks for looking and for any help. best regards

Hey you might run a web search for salvaged corvettes. flood salvage, theft recovery, etc. There are a bunch of them out there. Might find what you want there. Good luck.

That was one of my original ideas, but I talked to a friend who owns and runs a used car lot and he told me that before I even buy it, I'm going to have a hard time getting a loan on a salvage or R title and that when I do get it. I won't know the extent of the damage and I will also have a hard time insuring it. so that's why I'm looking for something with a clean title. better to just pay a little more now than put a lot of money into something later.

I was hoping more to find someone who had a project car they wanted to get rid of or maybe someone knows of one that has thrown a rod or something. or maybe someone knows of one just lying around waiting to be rebuilt. Ideally, that's what I'm hoping most for. I'd like a chance to bring a c4 back to life, and get it back on the road. I do see plenty of them sitting around. thank you for the suggestion though.
