Looks like I need to think about what I could get out of mine...gotta love the additional $500 fee that they charge in addition to the winning bid price...

$27,000.00

for that price, it better come with a years supply of prostitutes as well.

It only has 51,000 original miles, and a full body off restoration
with that low mileage... why did it need a full body resto ???

Can you say Stuck in the '70s? and should've stayed there.

In 1979 that would have really been a class act, now it's a comedy.

A little steep maybe? It is kind of 70's but I still like it.

One thing about the etching though. I would charge 300, maybe 400 for a job like that. Dunno, never did it on a car like that, might be more. Glass work ain't cheap.

You guys don't be so hard on Bubba, if he thinks his car is worth $27k he's entitled to his dreams, he probably parks this one in the bedroom with him and makes Mrs. Bubba sleep in the garage.

Drop the price $20k and paint it and you'll have a nice vette.
