Just read on the ebay ad under questions:
"Q: What a great story about this beauty! Please inbox me, my technician has a few questions about this diamond in the rough. J.Leno"
Really? Jay Leno is looking at this? Think it's legite?

I was just watching a Mecham auction where a finished Corvette of that vintage sold for 69,000. I honestly do think we're on the cusp of the C3s getting into the C2 price range... however, that $2000 Corvette would cost 120,000 to make into a 70,000 car... of course, that's why people say they invest in cars

I don't understand. Why would anyone pay over $4k when you can buy a working one for 10 or less?
I guess make a sad story and we could sell anything for 10 times it worth.

He re-installed the cracked bell-housing and proceeded to burn up the clutch. New clutch, flywheel and bell-housing. Still working on the vac system and other issues. Going to get the cylinder compression next week I hope.
At some point I will either trade out engines if I can find someone interested in such a deal. If it is all that it is said to be, it certainly isn't very street-able.
