82 CE for $110K
It does not run. It's outside in Florida. It has 21 miles on it. There must be something in the water in NW Florida. First the re-badged 82 to an 83 now this.

Thanks! That is the funniest thing I have seen in ages!!
"Garage kept" but.... the garage has no walls!
And they kept the factory plastic on the seats but basically let it sit outside for 29 years... nice job!
They really need to throw some manure on it and store it in a barn. Then it will qualify as a true "barn find"

He forgot to explain in his description that part of the price includes the cylinder brick to hold the car up plus it is one of the rare under 30 mile cars that wink. Maybe the mobile home not pictured comes with it.

Garage kept? Looks outside to me. Maybe just under a roof but still exposed to the weather. This has to be a joke. I think maybe an extra 0 was added. Even at 11,000 it is a lot for a non running flat tired, winky eyed Corvette. Notice no engine pictures or under carraige pictures. I wonder what moisture damage there is.

I noticed the incorrect spelling as well. It appears the seller has gone through a broker. The broker most likely has no idea where Panama City is.
As for the Vette, if it has been under that bubba carport all of these years the mice, rats, and squirrels have destroyed everything under the hood. I'm sure a number of palmetto bugs have taken up residence and have devoured most if not all of the wiring. There's probably enough mold and mildew inside to supply the biology labs of every high school in the state.

So I wonder how many miles were on it when they installed the turbine wheels? Seems odd that such a low mile car would have something other than factory wheels?
Wonder what the story is on that 195? sitting next to it, or the Chevelle out behind it too?

Chevelle looks like it has factory 1970's Trans Am snowflake wheels too!

I didn't look real close but I thought it had the CE wheels on it.

Those are factory wheels. The Collector Edition came with those wheels standard to mimic the 67 wheels. The old Chevy next to it is a 57 and the Chevelle is a 68 or 69. I can't tell from the pic.

Ok, I just bid $4k. 
And it is being considered. Hmmm .... For $4k, I will drive down and haul it back. Nice vacation to get a car. And, if you look really close .... you can see a squirrel winking at you through the dust. 
Just a thought ....

The "buy it now" price is now $70K and there is a best offer button added. He's still at least $60K too high.
