Default Interesting 68' Vert on Ebay...

The car is currently at $4750 with the RESERVE met..
Even though the car has a incorrect front clip.. it still looks like a pretty good deal.. It even comes with a hardtop...

He's spent more than 4k and sets a reserve somewhere under $4750. I thnk the arrival of his son has clouded his judgement.

Anyway it looks like a very good price even if the frame is completely shot. You just can't drive the car at night.

If the car has been in California for most of it's life.. The chance that it has a good frame area very high...

Yea, its a good deal for YOU guys. From Canada, with the dollar exchange I'd pay a 1/4 million dollars. (and pay [GST] Government Sales tax, [PST]Provincial Sales Tax) if you ask me its BST. :bs

I hope I can find something like that a few years from now. That's exaclty what I'm looking for, even with no motor or tranny. I want to build something similar to yours Oliver, and give my current one to my wife. :yesnod:

"...THIS CORVETTE WAS GOING TO BE MY PROJECT CAR, BUT THE ARRIVAL OF OUT NEW SON FORCES ME TO SELL IT...."

So, the arrival of his new son was a surprise...? Usually, you have about 9 months warning on those kinda things. Sounds kinda fishy to me. :skep:

I'm sure that the car would be much more with the correct front clip... Even with the wrong front clip.. the car is still worth the $4800.. if the frame is good...
