Default Good Deal?

Saw the following ad: 1963 Corvette split window. Arizona car. Needs paint, motor work, and tires. No rust. $5,000.

I haven't seen the car yet, only left messages. Sounds almost too good to be true! Any thoughts?

I'll keep you posted. I just bought a '72 Coupe a couple weeks ago and drove it 650 miles home. What a blast. I've always wanted a C2 as well, and you can't beat a split-window.

...depends on what you want to do with this car....IF it is that great in person, agree with the group but i am reminded of the following - "if a frog had wings, he wouldn't bump his azz so much"....uh, i think that applies here :skep:

Sounds great, taken at face value. However, if it sounds too good to be true, it usually is. :eek:
