Yeah, it was $26K earlier this month. Guess the new owner found some "value" in it and raised the price. He did not even get it running, or put air in the rear tires. That would most likely affect his profit margin.

Comes with the correct 519 engine. That'll ensure a quick sale. Sorry resale.

2021 C2 of the Year Finalist - Unmodified

1966 corvette coupe - $58000 (Maple Grove)
https://minneapolis.craigslist.org/h...447031388.html
It has gone through a off frame restoration. The frame was scraped and a new one slid in. Everything has been taken apart rebuilt, sandblasted, repainted or powder coated. Chrome striped and rechromed. All gauges and clock where sent out to be rebuilt and painted. This is a numbers matching car. Engine,transmission, rear end have all been rebuild. New disk brake all the way around. I could go on and on. Have many receipts. There's less than 500 miles on the rebuild.


Is that an opportunity?

Default clarification

I guess I'm not understanding the language, " the frame was scraped and a new one slid in". What does that mean?

That is funny, and from the experience of a guy I worked with that owned one, generally pretty accurate.

I agree. My guess is that spelling and grammar are not his strong suits.

"disc brake all around"

What do you think about that one?
I think I'm skeptical.

'66 with a 6.0 liter SBC - what would that be? If a L79, why the solid lifter cam tach? Lots of mismatching parts under hood, no underbody pictures, very little in the description.

A long canned but non-specific or near empty descriptions are red flags. Either there's something the seller is hoping to slide buy, or at best, the seller has weak marketing abilities.
