What should I expect to pay
Hey all,
When I FINALLY have a job, my house done and some savings what would/should/could I expect to pay for a 68-72 in decent condition
I would like to get one with a good motor, trans, and suspension but in need of body work and interior work. a convertible would be nice but it all depends on the cost.
Thanks for any input etc. When I am ready you will all see me shouting from the rooftops! :D
:cheers:

Re: What should I expect to pay (Madmikeee)
If you are lucky - you can get a running and driving 68 - 72 Vette Convertible for $6000 - $8000. I paid for my 68 Vette Convertible $6000 + $800 shipping (in 2001). The car had a good engine and transmission, but the rest of the car needed some work... So far I have close to $30000 in the car and I am still not finished..... However - my cost is so high because I don't do the bodywork and the majority of the expencive mechanical work myself. I only do electrical, interior and a few minor mechanical tasks myself. I also only added "Top of the Line" aftermarket equipment which didn't help my total cost!!!

I ran across a base model 69 vert a few months ago for 10K. They are out there, just takes alot of looking. The one I saw just needed a paint job and a bit of interior work. I also came with the hardtop. Good luck in your search.
