Re: This is a shame......... (77BlueL82)
Hmmm... I didn't think it looked that bad... I mean, so the paint scheme is a little weak. It definately needs a new interior. It's got those "Turbine wheels". Curious though that there is not picture of the engine of this "TPI swap". $2000 is a little on the high side, but when I was looking for a vette one year ago, anything that still resembled a vette = $1000. If it ran, no matter how badly = $2000.
BTW what is TMU????

Re: This is a shame......... (77BlueL82)
I say we all hunt this person down. Take the vette away from him and "repair" it. Then if he is lucky, we might sell it back to him only if he signs a contract stating that he will never commit a vette abuse again! :mad

The only really bad thing on it is the paint. The hood is fun, just the paint makes it look bad. Would look kinda mean if it was painted and those fender vents glassed in. The headlights probably don't work. I'd buy it for $2000.

I agree with the $1000 & $2000 - but have to disagree with it not looking too bad. Poor vette!

Re: This is a shame......... (77BlueL82)
That car has been neglected. If the interior is that rough, Gotta figure the drivetrain and body aren't much better.
