I wouldn't believe a starting bid of $300 for that!!

Rusty frame, burned/smashed front, shot top. Looks like the rear clip might be usable still.

I have never seen that copper colour before. It is absolutely beautiful! The Black Book shows only 116 1994s were produced in Copper Metallic. So I guess only 24 of those were convertibles?

You guys are cruel.
Yeah, it's a piece of crap, but it's a well tied piece.

I love the misspelled wording: Power Breaks !!! :lol: :lol:

But wait a minute ... what's the striping on the back ?
Doesn't that look like a Motion Performance vette ?
It just may be worth $3000, after all.

It's unbelievable that it actually sold for 3000 bux... When the winner comes to the forum asking for help to put his fixer-upper back on the road, you guys try to make a straight face... :D

Top needs to be re-done.
That's too funny... As if there were anything that did not need... :jester

Makes me feel really, really, really good about getting my '69 convertible for $6,000. From the price insensitivity (or insanity, as the case seems to be) on Ebay, I might get $18-20K for it based on this "burnt" '74.

But, we're all too attached to our running Vettes to part with them (well, unless we've already purchased another Vette to put in its place!)
