Default This is killing me

Hi guys. I was hurt at work and may need surgery. I have to sell my 77 to make ends meet. I have a lot invested in this car and I have no choice.
I will let all of it go for 3000.
Including the rolling chassis and all parts for it.

Very sorry to hear about your situation but you have to do what you have to do. Feel better and good luck with the sale. You may want to post some pics to help the sale.


Again good luck and feel better.

Where do you work? Workers comp will pay the tab unless you're self employed, in which case you're screwed. If you do work for someone call a big ugly lawyer and turn the case over to him. For $3K I would shelve the project and get the money somewhere else and when things settle down you still have the Vette.

Little red Corvette and its rolling chassis made it to its new temporary home without incident. Now to form a plan as to what to do with it.
#1-Sell as a project car.
#2-Proceed forward by getting body off rusty chassis and on to rolling chassis and then selling the car.
#3-Just part it out.
Suggestions on which one of the 3 options above to choose ??? or other options to add ???
