Default deal of the year. 1985, even runs,kinda

Being the sometimes smartazz that I am, I just had to post this off the Indy Craiglist. Its a vette so its gotta be worth a bunch, right? notice, it states "firm". I just noticed, the wheels are on backwards.

Wow! I agree, that thing is definitely ROUGH! With the condition and the knocking motor, nobody is going to resurrect that car. Good parts car though.....but definitely not at that price.

This week, I had a chance to buy a 1996 in the same condition for $1400, and walked.

I started thinking about restoration costs....and decided it would be a money pit. Also it had 130,000 miles.

It would be cheaper in the long run to buy a decent one to begin with.

Carpet $500
Weatherstripping $500
Seats $1000
Paint $1000 for materials
Wheels and tires $1500
Fuel pump and sending unit $$125 used

And then there's the rest of the interior, Glove box, Dash pad, broken plastic pieces ect.


Sad, but true. Not worth saving all of them.
