I never ran ac all summer and it was 90 to a 100 everyday for 2 months and 92% humidity in these bottoms we call home next to this over sized toilet bowl we call the Ohio river.
I work outside so Im used to it, just a passing Shadow from a vehicle was releif!

When I got my car in July the AC did not work. It was a sweltering summer and by the middle of August I converted the system to R134 and got the AC working. Heaven on Earth is driving with the tops off, AC on in the summer.

Is it just me or does this look like it was photo-shopped? That blue corvette in the ad links around it are in the EXACT same positions relative to the building and landscape. That is hard to do.
I suppose if you have markers and take great care to take the images in the same angel/position.
Not trying to say it is fake. It just seems odd.

its a 35% markup that a dealer usually does.. its a 50-60K car if the condition and numbers are correct. then add the dealer markup.. This is a collector car, not a daily driver.. probably a trailer queen..
people pay dearly for A/C.. especially for the option, whether it works or not.. most 40 year old A/C does not work, and if it does, I bet it won't make it thru the summer..
I have said it before.. I have never seen a C3 Convertible driving down the street in a hot summer day with the top up and A/C on...

Last year, over 40 days over 100', with 22 days in a row. And it's not like up there, where it gets hot during the day, and when the sun goes down it cools off. Here a high of 107 during the day, may cool off to 100 during the night.
During the summer, I regularly put the soft top up and run the A/C. Last summer I actually put the hard top on, and left it on for about a month.
Even if the top is down, I run the A/C during the summer months. It works well at keeping the feetwells nice and cool. And with the C4 blower upgrade, I can even feel the cool air on my face.
My wife and I just bought a 65 Dart convertible (she wanted a car with a back seat). It doesn't have air, so one of my first projects will be to put A/C in it.

I am the worlds biggest bargain hunter,
And I have learned that with the net making selling a car hit a world wide market people say and post all kinds of stuff,
When I mess with kit cars, it's not what the fellows asks for the car it's what case actually hits his hand,
One example is a fellow in texas trying to get 25K for a car not worth 1200.....and people savvy on this make and model kit car know it,
I called him his reply was basically someone might be dumb enough to pay him that or 12K thinking they stole it,
People sometimes get in a buyer frenzy and pay too much,
It IS a buyers market right now...what a persons asks for something isn't always what they get for it....in this case some vettes are all rare and have that silly ( to me ) collectors value....
