If I was looking at buying the car and saw the headlights were always "up" I'd think something is broken

Well I am going to show EVERYTHING on the car. I mean the interior needs to be finished. It has custom guages, and is lacking two. They are autometer guages, lol I just never got around to it. Ummm it needs a radio, and speakers AND has NO a/c or heater. It would be perfect to build as a drag car. I dont know. I didnt mind but you are right I like the car, I am probably the only one LOL at least that is what they made me feel the first time I came on this board. We will see

It is not my daily driver by any means. i have had this car for 3 years and driven MAYBE a thousand miles. LOL I have WAY too many cars and just need to cut down on them. But then again, I am 99 percent sure she will be replaced with another toy

If you are new to Ebay you may have trouble selling a big ticket item with no feedback. If you are serious, I would buy and/or sell a few small things first and get at least 5 positive feedbacks so people will know you are a legit seller. Somebody on here "love my 72" or something like that bought a 68 from a no feedback seller and got a raw deal, at least he didn't pay to go get it. When you do list it, take lots of good pictures and give a good, honest, fair description of the car. Show photos of known rust trouble spots (frame kickup, trailing arms, maybe windshield frame is possible). Show good detail photos of seat wear, tires, engine compartment, etc. Tell them what works. Fix what doesn't if possible. I hate an ad that says "needs widget installed, included, easy job"-if it's that easy just do it. I particularly hate to see on a nice car "a/c low, just put some refrigerant in and it will cool fine", if that were true then they would do it. Show people what you would want to see if you were buying the car. Then it should bring an honest price to a willing buyer.

BTW I bought a car off of ebay, from Houston, about a 5 1/2 hour drive. Well When I got there, they had taken the ground effects off, took the power window switches out, took the sunvisor out, and the car was horrible. 94 z28 wrecked

HA-HA I KNEW IT!!! But the truth is that probably is not a tough fix and little things like that can kill resale value..but I know where your coming from when ya say you just don't wanna mess with them. I would put her on Ebay and set the reserve at a price your willing to take..be honest with the description and see what ya get. If she doesn't sell then you have to decide what ya wanna do.

And dont worry we all love your headlights too . Sorry, couldn't resist.

And yes I got screwed on Ebay as well...Buyer Sold car as a 40,000 mile caddy convert with no rust... car looked great until you got under it...cost me $2500 in metal repair to get it to pass inspection. I raised hell with the guy and he split the repair bill with me but I'm still stuck with a rotten car. I'm of the belief once you have rust, you can't stop it...just slow it down.

See now your just teasing us. Remember...we need washing car pic to properly assist you in valuing your vette. I figure bikini pic's on ebay are worth at least a grand in resale value.

I know I'm about to get one of these

Ok I'm
