69 Corvette..$3000
A friend told me of this Friday...been sitting in an owners yard five years...engine sitting next to vette,dash out...bumpers off, supposely all parts there..I have not seen it,but my friend wants me to look at it today..will grab pics...we may go in together...not sure yet...my friend builds race cars (GM engines) but is not a vette guy...I'll get vin,engine casting numbers,etc and see what pops up...we are driving his old pickup over there...
If this is viable,our offer may be $2000

good luck!
It's always fun chasing this stuff down, regardless of what you end up finding. Kind of like a search for buried treasure

If it's a 427 and you get it for $2K, I don't want to hear about it.
