Why? That's good old fashioned business. Actually sounds like a good deal just for that purpose. What's a frame go for?

:withstupid:

Here's another way of looking at it: How much would it cost to get the car in the condition you'd want it to be? Add that to the initial cost and see how the total compares with a turn-key deal. It seems to me that it would be hard not to come out okay on that comparison.

:cheers:

Just a personal preference, hate to see a c-3 get chopped up when it could be brought back to life.

You are one of the chosen few. You have stumbled upon an awesome deal, this may not ever happen again. The same thing happened to me with an 80. I have sold most of the parts I wouldnt be using and have paid for the initial price of the heap. As mentioned above, add what it will cost to complete and enjoy. :thumbs:

Let's see....go to http://www.sdpc.com and order the Ram Jet 350 PFI Engine for 5k. Then send an e-mail to this guy vetteman904@aol.com and get a pair of 79-82 like new seats delivered for 1k. SO now for less than 9k the car just needs a good paint job and you have an awesome chrome bumper vert :yesnod:

Be NIKE and JUST DO IT

I'm only a couple hours from you, so let me know if you pass on this. I need a parts car, and why not put a vert body on my 71 coupe?

Why not ? 'cause for a little more $$ - you could have one of each !!

You put the top down on the vert - and only drive it when it's super nice out.
Leave the Ttops on the coupe - and take it out when the weather is questionable.


Good deal BAD99 - and glad to hear that it will be falling into the hands of someone that will seek to restore this legendary sports car. Also glad to hear
that another has willingly crossed from the dark C5 side.
:lol: :jester :p:

Good luck - I'm sure we'll be seeing more of you as the project unfolds.

Hmm, you would be a fool to pass it up. Hell, even if it was rusty it would still be a good deal. Go get it. It's been my experience that if you stop to think about it, it will be gone when you get there. RUN FOREST RUN!!!!! :lol:
