Default Buying a vette today!
Finally going to buy the '78 4 speed manual L-82 vette with the silver paint from my previous post today

he was originally at 10900, then dropped to 9500, then to 8800. So maybe I can get it a couple hundred more lower, but I am happy for below 9000. He paid 9240 a year ago from a dealership, so after taxes, interest, and selling it through a consignment, he wouldn't go too much lower cuz how much of a loss he is already taking.

Thanks for the help guys. I will only be doing a bit of work this summer, but will be on the forum everyday keeping up to date.

Will be taking it home today.

Congrats! Don't do a burnout leaving the lot and almost wrap it around a light pole like I did when I got my '78 L82!
