sweet deal
http://newyork.craigslist.org/lgi/cto/1663684767.html I thought this might interest somebody. I have no connection to seller. Worth a look if your mechanically inclined.

He's being honest about the storage part.
Why he's showing all the dust on it.
Mine was in storage 8=10 years when i got it out of storage 2 years ago.
This green one looks beautiful when compared
Alot of elbow work and cussing and it could look like this if the paint is still good.
Where i live its quite humid so the inch of dust had almost turned into a paste Even in a garage with a cover on it. Good thing it was started every year so nothing went wrong there.
But cleaning took quite along time.
Also im looking for another that doesn't have such a rare color combo to make as a daily driver i may give them a call.

That's what I thought. when I was a teen I bought a 71 firebird for five hundred loved fixing it even had to swap out engine and tranny it was a good learning experience. This car sought of reminded me of that. the price is compareable to 25 years ago.

For 5500 you can bring it up to 350 HP. A few more bucks here and there and for about 7 or 8K, plus the cost of the car a person could have a pretty nice car I would think.
I am just not ready to do it quite yet.

Man that first photo looks like it was buried in the back yard instead of the garage. That's the kind of car I'd like to find for my son, He's good with a wrench but can't afford a nice vette.

I never understand when they sell them dirty. I pulled up to a few that were by the road for sale and dirty inside and out. I usually get back in my car and drive away. It only takes a hour or two to do a basic clean without getting crazy. Then again mine are probably overcleaned when I sell my cars.
