79 Vette scam or bargain ?
Check out the Vette Hound web site. Page ten. There is a 79 that is supposed to have 16k. original miles for $13,900. Anyone Interested ?

I'm not sure I would trust anything over there... Things like this make you wonder:
The guy says only 18,161 miles.. Original everything.... Aside from the fact that odometer pic above is off by a few thousand miles, anything else odd about it?

I found a dozen more examples like this that are either honest mistakes, or people who are not exactly being honest.

The other thing that's odd is that is not a picture of '79 speedo. '79's only go to 140 mph. That's a picture of a speedo from an older vette.

They have some other pictures mixed up also, because that's not correct shifter either.

I think my mechanic bought a car from this group. I think they also go under the name Valleyauto2005 on ebay. The owner's name is Dave.Check it out- if it's him my guy got a nice deal on a chrome bumper shark. He specializes in TLC Vette's, but he does get some nice one's as well.
No- I don't have any affiliation.

I don't think the one we are talking about is the one from the original poster. I think this one is....

As i said it is on page 10 . Count down 9 ads. Owners name is Roland. The car is in Florida. If it is legit , it could make someone a nice ride or possibly a collector for show.
