Not mine but this would be a good starter/driver for someone.

Located outside Greenville SC

I looked at it today. Owner has had it several years and only driven it about 1K miles (most likely will need brakes, seals etc)

Solid Frame and Body (gaps very good)

Paint is an older repaint with some checking at the rear window with good shine

Chrome is So/So , Headlights went up and down evenly

Engine is a '67 corvette 327 (not a 350 like the craigslist says) so NOM, aftermarket Intake, Carb and Radiator, little engine trim remaining - Not an oil leaker - I bet a 300 HP

4 Speed with 4:11

Teak Wheel, Telescopic Column, Power Brakes, Power Windows, 7000 Redline Tach

Spare Tire in the Carrier but no Jack/tools

Interior is Original and will need work

67 Ralley's with oversized tires - too big and will rub

$45,000

Owner is Don

midvette6067

TRIM and VIN tags look OK? Color is "MM"? STD. Int.?

Do you think it's worth $45K?

Chicago Bob

40k would be waaay nicer.....I'd want to see more like 38-36k. jmho. That engine isn't really worth anything so you're just buying a rolling chassis/body.

Blockervee

Thanks. I emailed the owner asking if he would take $38000, pending my inspection. I'm in CA so I would fly out and make the deal if I like it and have it shipped back. Does it run and drive?

Im not sure you guys are following the prices on c-2s even with NOM but if you can get that for 38k you will be lucky as hell.

Its been up for 17 days so you may get lucky.

I like it. But I like them all.

That car needs a lot to be even half way decent.....and $45,000.00 is mucho money in my book, sorry.

Bowtyeguy

Have you seen the car in person?

Thank God they don't write songs about Volvos.

I've got that framed picture in my garage.

Chicago Bob

If you are asking me...no, I have not seen this car Paul.

Jim Rosenthal

This got me thinking- if you want a car or truck as an appliance, you are better off with a Toyota. (I am on my fourth Tacoma and would be on my third still if someone hadn't hit me and demolished it) If you want fun, you buy a sports car. I suppose if you want a Swedish refrigerator with wheels you buy a Volvo Despite a lifelong addiction to cars, I have never desired to own a Volvo, although I DID have a few Saabs- and liked them a lot.

GTOguy

I used to sob every time a Saab pulled into my service bay........and they apparently make songs about Subarus....at least the Subaru adds have that smarmy, cheesy 'love' music going on. Yech! I agree with Toyota, though. I have two Toyota appliances and have had others. A creampuff '05 Tundra, and my daily driver, an '83 pickup that I paid $2500 for 25 years ago, have driven every day to work with zero breakdowns, and is now worth $3500. Works for me.

Chicago Bob

You could easily spend another $25k on this car....right now, for a decent NOM driver? That's Seventy Thousand coconuts! Not me.

Bowtyeguy

I think you are buying a NOM driver, if you want to buy a 70k car do that, but its a driver.

Put brakes and a new set of tires on the car and drive it and have fun.

Not everyone needs a perfect car, chrome and a jack are not the end of the world. Lots of guys have 300HP cars.

Not everyone has 70k to buy a perfect car. PLUS his asking price is 45k.

Look at this gem for 45k

Can you show me a car for 45k with all the stuff you want?

EnfieldJoe

Just talked to the owner. He came off his asking price...... Difficult to get alot of information from him. Could not answer most of my basic questions about the car with sufficient detail. Car has been in SC for approximately 16 years. He has owned it for about a year....said it is a driver and "needs nothing", but we all know that those words have different meanings to each of us.

I think this coupe has value at the asking price, but he did negotiate which adds more fair market value IMO.
