If its a nice car go for it, the CE is one of my favorite C3's. What kind of wheels are on your car? They look very sharp, do you have a larger pic you could send me?
Thanks,

I say go for it if it is in GOOD shape. Got mine cheap too and I'm "restoring" it when the money permits. They are a very rare car, the first Vette to cost over $20 K

I kind of like them. :D As far as price goes, like any other vette condition, condition, condition is what counts. ;) Personally I would not go 5 grand in debt for a 9 thousand dollar car especially since you already have what looks to be a very nice car.
Good luck with whatever you decide. :)

Cappy, To bad about the speeding ticket. I got one a month ago driving my truck through a small town ( the Andy of Mayberry local cop got me). Went to court and had the ticket reduced from 14 mph over to 9 mph over. Cost me $75 bucks and 3 points. Last ticket was 10 years ago. Buy yourself a holiday gift and have fun. Have a great holiday. Rod :cheers:
