Get it painted, thats what I could do. Not worth it though.

aye, going back to original paint would cost more then you would see in return I think. I actually think it hurt it a little more being made to look like a pace car then if it had just been painted a diffrent color. But, with the mech issues fixed I think you can get 12k. Especially from someone that wants a nice C3, and is not concerned iwth having some speical edition future investment that they cant drive.

wrong seats and interior color for a pc as well
just be up front that it's painted like a pc and you should be ok.
might not want to mention it was an sa
i think painting it different mighta been some kinda sin (venial though.. not cardinal

)

I still think 12's a stretch

not sure if you want to know what it is worth just to know, or are you actually trying to sell it.

I agree. There are still so many around. they made upward of 50,000 vettes back in 1978, and in the late 90's they only made ~25,000/yr. even with 30 yrs worth of accidents and mods to cars, there could very well be more 1978 vettes out there than 1998's for example...
