The seller does say it is "modified". The header says $7,000.00 but in the body of the ad the asking is $6,500.00. I bet you could talk him into letting it go for $7,500.00.

This pour Corvette is sunk into the ground to the point it is laying on the chassis. I can only imagine what we can't see.

What a shame. How does a car go from obviously treasured with someone putting that much work into it to rotting away in some yard.

I`ve heard those exact words a few times when out looking for a project to build.... and that could be any car, not just a Vette!
