Default What do you think about this Vette?

I've been looking around trying to figure out what Vette to buy next and
came across this one. It appears to be pretty well taken care of and the
price appears to be reasonable. I know the color is questionable but it could always be painted. What do you think?

Looking at maybe getting into a chrome bumper.
Ever notice how most people selling Vettes never post pics of the frame,
what's up with dat!!
TIA :seeya

:thumbs: Looks good to me. I imagine people don't have pics of frames because everyone doesn't have a lift.

Looks really nice (assuming the frame looks as nice as the body) but 13K seems a tad high for a car that needs paint, we know how expensive that can be on a vette. Otherwise very nice looking chrome bumper vette! :thumbs:

:iagree:

I saw this color in person on a '70 LT1 a couple of weeks ago at Corvette Mike's and it is looks good in person. :thumbs: The price seems pretty reasonable to me for a numbers matching '70 with under 100K miles.
