actually - if it would be a matching numbers 427/400 HP or 427/435 HP it would be interesting! To get this car back on the road you'll put at least 20k++++ into it (if you do most of the work yourself)

Re: Another great ebay deal!! (GrandSportC3)
you guys laugh but i was outbid on that thing by $125! i have been looking for just such a car to make a vintage racer out of, but it seems some people think their project car is worth the restored car price. oh well, anybody ever run across an early shark like that for cheap, keep me in mind.

It looks like the reserve was not met - so it didn't sell! I am wondering what the reserve was.... Maybe he was expecting $5000 or more.... I have bought running and driving 69 Vette convertibles with perfiect frame, decent body and interior for $6000 - $7000...... To get this one running and driving you probably spend big $$$$$

Unforunately people imagine getting a high price just because it's a Vette... To pick up a Camaro in that kind of shape you probably have to spend less than $1000.....
I have seen a Vette in similar condition for sale a couple of years back. The seller was asking $7500.... Just 6 months earlier I bought a running and driving Vette with a perfect frame for $7000.... $500 more for a piece of junk.???? I almost started to :lol: .......
