Actual he thinks it's might be blown up but what is his definition of 'some' as in 'needs SOME interior parts and pieces', looks to me it needs ALL the interior parts and pieces.

I think in this case that the car was up for auction before and the high bidder and possibly the bidder below that both committed (at different times of course) to buying the car, then backed out at the last minute.

I actually posted a link to this auction a couple of weeks back! I would take it for $1000 and part it out!

That is a really ragged vette, 10K worth of work minimum. Worth about 1000 in my opinion. Buyer beware is all I can say. :eek:

Re: 1970 Vette -needs TLC (LT1driver)

The body looks pretty decent. Needs paint of course. And the interior just needs a 'couple' parts :lol:. If the frame is good & solid it basically makes this thing a pretty nice rolling chassis in my book. I'll go $2000.

Re: 1970 Vette -needs TLC (verskel)

I personally like the cold air passage cut in the hood. Must be good for at least 20hp.
Aside from that, the passenger door is sagging big time. Can you say "Rust Bomb"

Yep, looks like the engine blowed a purfect squire right out the top of the hood. :rolleyes: Where are the engine pics? I hope SALT LAKE hadn't gotten to it too bad. $2000.00 tops for sure.
