Default 87 corvette PROJECT PICS ($1180 CASH)
this is my 87 vette, i paid $1180 ... car came with no engine,trans, or SUSPENSION

i bolted the front and the rear suspension up DURING last months blizzard..with hand tools... so everybody on the east coast...quit complaing about the cold..
i got lucky and traded MY red hood....for the front and rear suspension..what a deal..

That's a good trade.......each of those suspensions would run you$500-$1000 depending on condition, and to get complete units... pretty sweet.
Half the cost of fixing up a corvette is the interior, and yours looks pretty good.

Interior looks clean. What's the story on the console lid? Did you add it?
