I like this part:
"I plan on taking it to the Barrett Jackson Car Auction in Phoenix on the 12th if it does not sell here. It will bring 20,000.00 plus there."
and then another statement down:
"The very best I could possibly do, with the ebay fees for selling what they are is 15,900.00."
"I plan on taking it to the Barrett Jackson Car Auction in Phoenix on the 12th if it does not sell here. It will bring 20,000.00 plus there."

Obviously he's not familiar with Barrett Jackson's overhead.

So in all seriousness, what the hell did happen to this car? The obvious part is 73+ didnt' come with chrome front bumper, but weren't their front ends a bit longer? The hood looks correct for a '72 at least, but a 72 hood won't fit on a 73+.
So which is it? Did someone do a little fiberglass work and cut in vents like a 73, or did someone modify the whole front end of a 73 and slap on a new hood?
Unfortunately, someone is going to be mislead into buying this car.

Where's Jim Carrey when you need him: "LOOO - ZERRRR !!!"
I like this part about the box o'crap he's selling. I quote:
The total price adds up to
over 100,000. 00
that our government
paid for all this stuff
Oooh! And you can have it all, for only $495 ! Btw, the $3 plastic box that the parts are in, is not included.
What a maroon !
He has that "Make offer" feature on the auction. We ought to all offer him .02 cents (except the shipping is $62.49 to my house. Darn.)

The seller of the 72/73? is just spouting what he was told when he bought it. I imagine that "story" netted the PO some extra buck$ because the present owner didn't know much about Corvettes...he just wanted one. I doubt that there is any intended fraud here. He just doesn't know any better...and he doesn't want to learn the truth--it would cost him sales doollar$. P.S. he'll probably sell it to someone with the same {poor} level of knowledge who won't care one bit about the difference. To each his/her own. I'm not passing judgement...at one time, every one of us were ignorant of Corvette details (way back when!).

I don't believe that his guy is honest. If I were made aware of something in my ad that was not correct, I would investigate and change the ad if I was wrong. This guy is using tricky language and lies to get more for this car. It is a nice car, but I wouldn't buy from him. I know next to nothing about vettes, and knew something was not right with the vents. My gut feeling is that at some point, this car has been wrecked and had the front end replaced. If that is the case, then he should state that. That being said, anyone who would buy a car like this without flying to see it almost deserves what they get.
Hey, since this guy can get rare and unusual cars, can he get me a 76 with a factory 4-speed and factory 502ci with factory removable window???

I can vaguely remember years ago, seeing in an Eckler's catalog 73 type side scoops to glass in 72 type egg-crate fenders. Or perhaps some-time in it's life a previous owner installed 73/74 fenders. Never the less I don't think the car came from Chevrolet that way.
