If it is indeed a 67 vin car with a clear tittle you can't go wrong

4 speed car. motor trans in the barn. Maybe I can get a look at the car this weekend
Based on the above statement and picture you posted I would PayPal $3k to the owner tonight and show up with a trailer tomorrow.

Not 67 fenders, does the VIN show it as a 67?

It also looks like most of the parts have been stripped off. With the wrong front, flared fenders, wrong hood, questionable frame, the only thing of any value is the trim tag and vin tag. Who knows what they say. I think $40,000 to make it presentable is conservative.

For three grand I'm in if you pass. No question it's worth that.

Buy it, take it to the NCRS Event in FL. in January or to any other Corvette event and sell it for $4K and make enough to pay for your trip and you have had a good time for free or buy it and there have been offers on here already from guys and you just made a grand. Besides it is not a 67 front end so flip it and make a buck. If the motor and trans come with it you may even make more then a grand. It would sell at Carlisle for sure.

I'm sure the clip board kings are waiting for this one to be judged.

I can see $6K parted out easy if someone want to invest the time to do it.
Z bar with title $5K??? Who would pay that much for this? I'm asking because I can buy a cowl back body for $5K with zbar and vin. Cost me a few hundred to get a title.

Put it on Ebay and watch it run through the roof. That Z-Bar is a future BB Top Flight Award car.

Heck, the hardtop is worth half of the 3K the way it sits. Grab is FAST!.....with motor and trans as a bonus too, possibly numbers matching.

Sorry no updates yet. I am a third party on this deal and my buddy who first told me about plans on buying it. Then in turn, offer it to me at a small profit for himself.
If I could have picked the car from the first seller I would pursue it, but now have lost interest and on the bigger and better things

Picked this bad boy off CL last Wed. cheap!!
