A '63 SWC that is new on e/bay at nwhouseofhardtops in Portland, Ore. @ buy-it-now price $97,500 and from all indications that would be a bargain...........also no affiliation to seller on my part.

One more point. Looking back at my playing with cars since the 70s, I have never regretted buying a single one.

I have regretted ones I did not.

Thanks Glen, I'll take you up on that. I bought the '63 and have it here in Bonita now. Maybe after the weather cools down, I'll send you a message and we could get together. I'd like to see your car too.

Boy, is that ever true! I "overpaid" for my 327-350/4-spd/PS/PB/green-saddle/factory AC 67 convertible in 2002 by probably $5-10K, but have never seem another one and would have killed myself if I hadn't bought it. If the OPs's Vette is as described, then he should pay the $100K and laugh out loud on the drive home.

I agree with the other guy. It’s impossible for a car with 98,000 miles to be original except battery, tires, and fan clutch. Unless it is falling apart and doesn’t run.

I have regretted ones I did not.

I have never regretted buying or passing on a car and not buying. What I do regret most of all is a couple of cars I sold over the years.

OP WE NEED PICS OF THE SWC OR IT DIDNT HAPPEN
