Default Hey, listen to this..........

I was just looking through the C-3 forum and I get a phone call from some guy in Oklahoma. His boss has a '77 Corvette for sale. It has a 327 in it, with I'm guessing a Th350. Body is decent, interior needs a little less work than mine. He want's $5,000 for it. I haven't ever considered being a multiple Corvette owner, But .....maybe. I'm going to be in his neck of the woods in a few weeks for Thanksgiving. I'll swing by and look at up close then. I wish I could get a $900 deal like 72and86 did, but if it's nice, I may just do it. (Obviously I'll try to talk him down) I'm not jumping into anything, I just thought that it was interesting that a perfect stranger got my number from a friend of a friend of a friend.


.....does this mean I'm getting to be well known as a car guy? That only took 30 years.

.....cool.

If something sounds too good it probably is too good. Have him send you some pixs via email so you don't waste your time.

My friend bought a 75 with new paint, hookers, a 327/4 speed for 5 grand on April 14 last year. The owner had a tax bill to pay. The car needed a new tranny, so he dropped one in, sold it for $11k. They are out there. It is worth checking out.

Yeah, obviously not stock. But hey, I'm not an NCRS kinda guy anyway. It's only a little ways from where I'm going, so it's at least worth a trip to see what it's all about. You can hide stuff in pictures, but it's a little harder in person. I'll let everyone know what I find. Even if I don't buy it, maybe someone on here would like to have it.

It never hurts to take a look. Especially if your going to be in the neighborhood. Good Luck. Hope it works out.

Owning a Corvette is a great feeling. I own two: a 1978 Silver Anniversary Edition (only 15k made) and a 1998 Black Coupe. Therefore, I would say "go get the car."
