Default New Corvette!

It's not mine, it's my brothers. But damn he got a good deal. He just bought it from a guy locally who "just wanted to get rid of it". Apparently no major problems, as it drives pretty well. He paid only $1000. I am in disbelief. Here is a pic. More to come.

Here are some more. I assume he will soon be joining us at corvette forum. My dad's got his LT4, I've got my LT1 and now little bro's got his crossfire.



Still so incredibly jealous.

$1000? Is it hot? Plus it's nice to see a young person wearing a Beatles T-shirt.

Wheels and tires are worth that!

Lot's of good 84' people on here. I guess you other guys are OK too....

Reminds me - I need to dig out all my Beatles albums and see if they are worth enough to buy a new C6.

A Sgt. Pepper album goes for $150 - $200 (I have one). The "Butcher Baby" album is the most rare. I have the original "Meet the Beatles" in mono, framed and hanging on my wall.

Default The old man speaks

The young man who bought the c4 for a grand and the young man who started this post are both my sons.... You think I ain't a proud papa? I guess it's all in the family. By the way, the 1000 dollar vette looks like it's gonna be a pretty darned good car. A few minor things here and there and I think it will be a good'un!!! They must have inherited their luck from their Mom... I've never bought good cars as cheaply as these 2 guys do....Hmmmmmm.....As the Fab 4 said, "let it be"

Nice find. And it seems you and your boys have a great relationship. God bless you. And great to have the Vettes to mess around with...I'd say maybe some of your wife's luck rubbed off on you...
