I agree with it being time to have a heart to heart....


Maybe he has another friend that he can have store both cars for the next 4 or 5 years?


What if, by some remote possibility, your house does sell? What's would he do then?

Have the talk, if there is no sale action, then move both of them out to the street. It'll screw your home sale up big time.

Are those windows open ? Could be a problem if the car sat like that for a long time.

No,the windows are closed. But I had to bale water out of the seats before he brought the t-tops over. I don't understand how he can care so little for the car yet want so much for it. I think he wants it just to tell people he has a vette. I know if I owned it or if anyone else here owned it ,it would not be sitting in someones back yard like it is. I would have never made a deal with someone for the engine that was in it unless I had a replacement sitting there ready to go in.The car has brand new tires on it that are sitting here dry rotting. I've told him many times I could not stand to own the car and have it like this and he just says,I know.

I will tell him your offer and to be honest I hope he takes it.I would love to see someone get this car who really appreciates it and could get it back on the road. I will take some interior pictures tomorrow and e mail them to you. The interior is not bad and is all there except the dash pad. The gauges and everything is there and hooked up just the pad is gone. It has a hood,I just have it in the house becouse its very nice. Has some air brush work done on it and cleared over.

7k is insane for a car with no motor. I got mine for 1k, granted it isnt nearly as pretty as that one but still.........you can get a good late C-3 driver here for 5 or 6k

Mike - I thought about making the same offer. If he bites, grab the hood anyway. Swing through my area on your way back and I'll buy the hood from you cheap.
