I've sure seen them a lot worse. It's got lots of potential, for the negotiated price.

Thanks for sharing the pics and keep us posted. Good luck.

I think the birdcage has some rust but hard to see the extent of how bad it may be. The frame behind the weather striping looks solid but I can see some rust behind the drives door hinge. Any thoughts?

I have not purchased it yet. My lack of knowledge on Vettes had slowed my purchase. Just trying to find out what exactly is there. Thanks for all the input!

There's definitely more money in parts than the asking price, should you change your mind after purchase. I don't think you would get hurt financially with this car. Inspect this car very closely to assess how much is going to be needed to put back in complete operating condition before you start spending money on it.
