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!

:cheers:

LOL!! Quote: "This is a 1970 Corvette that I bought about 2 years ago as a project but no time !!! This has a 454 big block in it but I think it is blown up !! I am not sure if this an original big block car or not !!! It is automatic !!! It does need some interior parts and pieces !!! I will answer any emails about this car !!! This could be a neat ride for someone !!!Good luck !!! I have been shafted Twice on this last time !!! So don't bid if your not able to take care of your bid !!"

He's using part of the money to buy a new keyboard that the period and comma work on!!!(yes, those !!!'s were sarcasm :yesnod: ) Did you see NO ONE has bid?

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:

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.

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.
