Default "Priced to Sell Fast"

You have got to be kidding.

Nice car, but $40K?

It must be that ultra rare 350cc 350 horse mouse motor. Very few people know about it, but Chevy made (1) all aluminum motorcycle engine disguised as a traditional small block and put it in a '69 roadster. It has now been uncovered and can be purchase for $40K.

"Must Sell"-Good luck pal.

:lol: It's a dirt bike corvette.

Still, damn fine looking car. It's probably worth half of his minimum bid.

Dear Paul79

Not that I'm interested in the car but.....

VIN seems correct. 69 verts were 194679S700001 to 738762. Makes it a late 69 build.

Do the photos suggest that has genuniely only travelled 180 miles?

Regards,
Joe

Well, can the air filter get that dirty with only 180 miles? How 'bout the exhaust manifolds? :p:

I looked at the auction again--now he's changed his feedback to "private" so no one can read it. I smell slimeball--I wouldn't bid on that auction if he was giving it away free. Okay, I would, but I'd still be scared of getting screwed. :D
