Could be 38K miles looking at pedal wear. It could be either the gut was a pig, leaking t-tops, and leaving it unlocked for kids to play in. An interior is only like $1300 or so right? I think 5 grand would be a fair price in the state it is in if there is no rust. Of course, I have Kalifornia prices to compare to which are :crazy:

Guy obviously doesn't know crap about Corvettes. The VIN is messed up so you can't tell what it is.

hey, this thing isn't nearly as bad as that 427/435 that was on a couple of months ago that sold for 7 GRAND! that was a hunk of crap. just goes to show that auction bidding is as crazy as gambling. if you want to get waaaayyyy more for something than it is worth, put it on ebay.

My car has documented 40k miles and the interior looks like this...


"This started out as a project for someone that you can finish for a fraction of cost"

...doubtful


"The only bad news is that you don't own it yet! "

...prolly a good thing!

Never mind the engine gaskets- when was the last time you saw a car with 38,000 miles and the steering column needed rebuilding?
