Default Craigslist Seller Really Seeks $11,000 for This C3 Corvette Wagon?



Considering this C3 wagon has been on Craigslist for nearly 30 days, I get the sense the seller is going to have a tough time finding any takers for $11,000.

Read the rest on the Corvette Forum homepage. >>

It wouldn't be an unreasonable price if it weren't for the damage on the passenger side.

What a blast from the past. I remember seeing a few of these in magazines and on the road back in the day.

It's an old school custom and damaged and we do not know how much other damage and rust it has, might be worth far less,

It will have a small group of interested people, it's got the family truckster kit and those are dorky cool but the panel sides look better than the window sides so you loose some buyers there, a lot of buyers, then it's got the tilt front end that my tilt front clip poll showed was the least popular of tilt clips, then it's flared, etc etc,

You know I love customs but I also know which ones people just do not warm up to, I would perhaps if the frame isn't rusted out and or bent offer 4500-5K

The fact no one has jumped on it in a month shows us no one thinks it's worth 11K

I think Slickfx3 probably didn't see the picture of the passenger side.

If you think $11,000 is over priced, you should check out this one for $106,700.

I like how he described the final drive as "for eleven gears". By the way, that's the same car...

Wow, so if a guy bought it for 11 grand, he could say he got it on sale or talked the seller down from 106. Success story to the wifeee (or flip the genders). that was for you Priya......

Had to have somewhere to lay the chicks that you could pick up with a Vette back in the day.

Lesson of the day....Don't damage the rear quarter panel...It knocks almost 100 grand off the value.

The family truckster can be fun if you like the dorky charm of it, but trying to look cool in it, not happening.

I think it was kinda cool.....I saw a few as a kid.
This Craigslist one is too disco......and speaking of Coke.....there is still probably traces of some in the car!
