i found a split window, matching numbers 327/340HP

the owner lives a couple blocks down from me, I have the chance to buy it. He owns some expensive cars so I know that this vette was taken care of. I can buy it for $86,000 USD. Is that a good deal? Or

If the undercarriage is as nice as the exterior, Buy it. PM me if you don't. Comparable cars are closer to $100k.

That looks to be a very nice car judging from the pictures only.

It would be very helpful to learn some of it's history. How original is the car? Has it ever been restored? Do you know any of its ownership history?

Good luck... GUSTO

If it is a original engine-clean car get it. In 2-years from now if u didn't buy it you'll be kicking yourself. Have a 63 expert check it out.
Just my 2-cents.

Good deal? 86k is a lot of money but it might be a fair price, depending on how much is correct on the car. It looks good in the pictures. It would be interesting to know the vin, since there are no hood blocks. Good luck.

Check build dates ,vin ,Eng. number carb, alternator frame for rust if that's OK .
Then looks like a deal if you want to invest in the 63 ,Just sold mine for 95,000.
Wanted a change after 25 years

Good catch-I didnt notice.

Don't buy it. Drum brakes are unsafe and with that split you can't see behind you.

In answer to the original question— yes.

The towel does not appear to be original. At least a $14,575 deduction in the value. :-)

As many have said, great price for a SWC, but DO YOUR HOMEWORK and have an expert go over it. Not everything is as it seems and $80K+ is a lot to have an Ahh **** moment over, down the road.

Keep us posted and send more pics...

A forum member sold his split window in minutes on eBay a couple of months back for $89k. A 300hp car with an incorrect frame.

I think that the consensus is quite clear - if the car checks out (be sure to do that due diligence thing), and you have the overhead financial space for it, I would recommend a yes.

But, NB: https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...edford-pa.html

Not saying your neighbor is those guys but these cars can have costly defects that can easily escape the unwary or uninformed eye. For over 80K, hire a C2 expert to look it over.
