Default Remember this car??

Remember this car on Ebay a couple months ago? I do! Recognized the paint blemishes. Back then it was not running. Someone obviously bought it - I need to check their feedback and see if there was feedback on that auction and how much they paid for it (I believe it was around $8k)...and is reselling it. Still might be a good deal for someone? Who knows.

The car would make a nice fixer uppper at that price. If I was closer, I would buy it and fix her up for resale. I wonder what the real story is.This car has had an interesting past.


:cheers:

Haven't seen it before... I never think to check out Corvette stuff on E-Bay.

Jennifer...I like the FREE limited power train warranty, 1 month or 1,000 miles. What is that about 3 1/2 days with a newly owned Corvette? :yesnod:

I remember it! :yesnod: If I recall, the engine had started to be taken apart, and the pictures showed wires kinda hanging. The story the guy has on the Ebay auction does sound credible. There was a thread on this car here, I think. Also, a forum member had bought a '96 Bravada from that same wholesaler, and that particular wholesaler was, um, shall we say, shady... :eek:

Whoa! I found the thread!!

http://forums.corvetteforum.com/zerothread?id=302395

and the original auction - Car sold for $12,100.

Ok - yeah now I remember it started at $7k and did go into the 12's. You are right. Still a deal, but I would be nervous about its past treatment...all that paint/hood damage and plus was not running and they couldn't figure out why during the last auction....hmmmmm....:nonod:
