Bubba was drunk one night at the locak drinking hole when he got a fuel line leak so he ask the bar tender for some keg line to get him home. :jester

The carb would probably bring more by itself than the whole car on eBay :lolg:

Id buy it just for the parts, the daytona hood, rims, carb, new seats, and body. Sounds like a GREAT deal for a parts car.

Every time i see a junked vette i cry inside. :cry :( :cheers:

By the time you got rid of all the rust that's all that would be left. It looks like the car has been out in the ocean.... Someone put a new carb and a quick fix for the fuel line to try and get it running. Probably would not start because the engine is flooded - with water that is..... That's why they say "it hasn't been started..."

Would not be worth the cost of transporting it even if you got it for free! RUN DON'T WALK AWAY FROM THIS CLASSIC!

Sure there are some questionable "repairs" on this car but the seller doesn't appear to be gilding the lilly on anything. There's more honesty in that auction than you see in most.

And even with all the faults, it's not all that bad. It could be brought back to roadworth status for someone who really wants a 'Vette and is willing to do it by sweat equity...as long as the frame holds up.

Yup. Bubba is the owner. He used his signature series duct tape on door panels. :D

I like the use of a zip tie for a hose clamp. Did you see that it has the T-top option?? That's pretty rare, right? Is that an aluminum e-brake console?
