Has anyone else ever dealt with a situation like this.....
I was at Gander Mt. getting my hunting license. Afterward, while heading to the car, a woman pulls up and asks me if it is for sale. I said "No." She said, "Are you surrrrrrrrrrrrrrre." I said, "Yes, I'm sure."

The attention these C3's get is unbelievable. It didn't have a "For Sale" sign or anything, it's like bees to honey.

I had a crack head offer me 15k for an 80 I had a few years ago. I told him it wasn't worth what he offered but I would take 10k for it. He crawfished big time.

Was stranded on the side of the road once. Three different people stopped while I waited for the tow truck. The first 2 were just checking if I needed help. The third stuck around for about 30minutes. He wanted to buy the car. I told him it was not for sale. He gave me his name and number and said to call him if I ever decide to sell it.

Gotta love it....even when it is dead on the side of the road

Every Vette owner needs to determine how much he/she would be willing to take for their car at any time. It can be a number much larger than the car is really worth, but sometimes fools show up as "opportunity". I've put two years of work into my '71, but I'll sell it in a heatbeat to anyone [seriously] willing to drop $30K. That's what I tell all the folks who ask. One of these days, someone with too much money will ask me "How much?".... and I'll be ready!

Happens all the time.

1st question is always "what year is it" immediately followed by "is it for sale??".
