I sold my 75 with rock solid, ZERO rust frame and rebuilt 350, turbo 400 transmission, converted removable back window, side exhaust, steel blue with silver deluxe interior for $2400.00 a few years ago and I am kicking myself in the *** for letting it go that cheap. Ads like this are a reminder of my stupidity.

Hi,
I can imagine what a nightmare this car actually is.

I think the car should be FREE, come WITH a good used frame, and $4500 in cash to get the project started.

Then, when the new owner finds out how much the birdcage is rusted too, he'll have the $4500 to buy a new project.

Regards,
Alan

Yeah, sellers should pay us and give free parts and have it delivered and ....


So its a rusted out wanna be project car ( flawed title ) that has a few good parts left the only thing the seller is askew on is the price, but most of you guys think your cars are worth more than they are too....

What I LOVE the most about the listing is the 'title status'.

I think you guys might be a bit harsh. It’s only got 90,000 miles which for the year is very good.

Kinda tempted to buy it. It is a highly desirable chrome bumper C3. I could also have what must be the absolute worst corvette on this forum.

What, it’s a goner just because it needs a frame, top, bottom, front, back, inside and outside?



I see at least three perfectly....black .... tires there…. and it does shade part of the driveway nicely

The sad thing is this car wont sell. It will most likely get scrapped and what is of use which looks like a bunch of great parts will most likely go to waste. People like this are why you can't buy a good parts car nowadays.

A great investment for the price. 40 yrs from now it'll be worth $700!!!!!
