I pass by a '72 Corvette nearly everyday, and it's in a similar condition, maybe a little better. It has no rear wheels. It's in someone's backyard. I wish someone would rescue it. It's been parked in the same spot for at least five years. It doesn't appear to have been wrecked.
In a way, the C4 is like a dead human whose vital organs are transplanted to other humans so they can go on living as in the movie, "Return to Me."

Unfortunately, that is the fate of alot of the 80's C-4's. Parted for their driveline, suspensions and headlamps assemblies. The other parts aren't worth that much, because people are parting them rather than rebuilding.

Man, its just a car. Despite how much we may all love our cars, they are only worth what you can sell them for.
Last year I was at a cruise in and was talking to a guy with a 57 chevy conv. He had the car for 30 years. Said he started to have it crushed when he got it. Quite like our c-4's they were not worth much when they were 20 years old.
Point is, the vette is worth alot to us here on the forum, but we dont even represent 10% of the vettes out there. To alot of people a 20 year old vette is just a car, and in fact, can be a car very expensive to keep running.
Now, let me put my flame suit on!!

No flames coming from me. If it wasn't for the guys you describe I probably wouldn't have owned the last 12 or so vettes. I bought a lot of junk and invested a little time and money and with the profit bought the next one. By the time I got to the 10th one, I had no out of pocket in a really nice car. I now drive an 07.

There's a local guy who has an " interiorless, engineless and transmissionless" 96. I really want it solely for a 91-96 body style conversion. Obviously it is very far from ever running again and he wants 6k for it. Then he says that if it doesn't sell, he's probably gonna "fix" it one day. I highly doubt it...
