The forum has recently begun allowing people to list cars they do not own.mplease revenue those rules:
Site users sometimes list Corvettes for a friend or relative who is unable to market and sell the car for themselves for some legitimate reason. Those listing cars or parts they do not personally own must make this clear in their sales thread, posting the circumstances and the role they will play in the sale as well as in addressing any post-sale issues. Potential buyers should be aware of who the actual owner of the car or parts is and who would be responsible for potential disputes. Those listing cars or parts they have no affiliation to, just for the interest of other Forum users, should specify "no affiliation" in the thread.

Apparently there is some confusion with the listing of this 58 corvette. I am listing this car on behalf of the owner who is a very close friend of the family and not computer / tech savvy. He has asked me to post the car on sites to gain visibility and market the car. I am very familiar with the car and if someone has serious interest I will put you in touch with the owner where the car is located. I will be assisting with the sale and as mentioned serious buyers will be put in touch directly with owner. Car is located approx 30 min east of rochester, NY (Ontario, NY). Hopefully this clears up any confusion.

If there is a serious buyer interested or someone indeed buys the car...they will deal directly with the owner during the sale and post-sale. Car will be released once all funds are cleared by bank and will remain in current owners garage until transport is coordinated. Owner will assist with loading car onto transporter or buyers trailer and provide original parts that go with car (steering wheel, shifter, radio, etc).
The car is 59 years old so there is no warranties...as-is. Inspection of car before sale is always encouraged.
For the picture collectors and tire kickers, I will deal with those people and avoid getting the owner involved....thus the reason he has asked me to help with the sale to avoid this part of the selling process.
