it looks to be a pretty nice car... but just like most Ebay cars, I am sure he does not expect to sell it. Sure the presentation techniques are a little silly, but he will get offers and that will give him the ballpark of what it will sell for...
shoot, someday I might put mine up on ebay with an obsene price just to see what it would go for...

it says better than new in the ad but did anyone notice the missing red lenses in the center cluster? It does look like it has the factory correct 4" lift on it though for those country back roads

But it's right there in black and white. The appraisal was done by a "bona fide appraiser". That car is clearly worth $37,500.00, but discounted to the low price of only $30,500.00. That appraisal is from WEEKS ago, so the car has probably gone up in value since then...making this an even sweeter deal.

But i do agree with it being greatly over priced for the American market, and slightly high for the Australian market!!

An old high school buddy of mine bought a Ebay Vette awhile back. A no reserve '91 Coupe with 100k on the odo. Opening bid was $88 bucks....
He got it for $5k. He paid another $500 to get it shipped from Georgia to Nebraska.......and the damn thing's a nice car.......
Even for a C4..........

"I bought this vehicle and then had it restored to original condition. Research was done to find the original paint color which is 74L - Metallic Red."
What a statement; then we see the custom tail, headlights and underhood mods.
This is a perfect example of people who may know cars however do not know Corvettes and are looking for the same knowledge in a buyer.
If he said it was a "resto-mod" he would be on with exception of price.
To a buyer who has the appeal it should go for $10K. I only see it as $8K

Bought & restored to "ORIGINAL CONDITION"
What a joke........NOTHING IS ORIGINAL........... !!!
There is an A Z Z for every seat...........
$10K is WAY TOO MUCH ....$6500 - $7,000 is all the money if there are no rust issues............

The quotes come from planet cartopia where all Corvettes have that rare BS1000 option 
mine would be worth twice that if it were not for the loose nut on the steering wheel

"Up for auction is a Restored Metallic Red (Original color) 1975 Cheverolet Stingray. This vehicle is kept inside now that it has been restored.
I bought this vehicle and then had it restored to original condition. Research was done to find the original paint color which is 74L - Metallic Red."
What did the research consist of? Opening the door and looking at the trim tag?
