Default drop dead beautiful car

I really MUST say this!
That car is beautiful, nothing less than beautiful. I do not know you but wish I did. You bring our car awareness to a new level, honest. If I had the money I would ask you to ship it here to me in FL, and worry about the fuel issues later. Super price for a great car, one of our brothers or sisters will purchase one nice ride.

Best with the sale, wish I did not have my '95 'vert, I would be pounding on your door --- no bull.

Default '90 or '91

What model year, where located and can the A/C be reconnected without sacrificing any mechanical isues i.e belt slippage or dependability?

Thanks, RWP

Thanks! All PMs returned.

Car is a 1991. Yes. A/C can be reconnected but I don't have the parts. My mechanic may have it but I have to check with him. I only took off the A/C to maximize efficiency. Should not affect dependibility.

Ok. Someone is checking it out tomorrow.

I don't want it part it out because I want someone to enjoy this car. It would be a shame to have this beautiful car in pieces.

and Check

I am tempted to take a 2nd on the house to come get this thing! Will follow this thread to see who gets it and if I've got cash handy in the future . . .

You are already giving it away (in fact I'm surprised you are so low) - screw the lowballers, unfortunately you can't sell anything these days without the lowball crew showing up.

Thanks ppl. Yeah I just don't have the time to really advertise this car. I understand this is a tough sell on the internet. On paper, it is just like any other 20 year old modified vette out there. This is really a car that must be seen in person to appreciate.

Please remember, this car fires right up and drives fine. It is a 500rwhp car the way it sits right now. I just don't want to be stupid and pound the car because it is running lean up top. I have put enough money into this and blowing this motor would be the last thing I want.

Paul - so are you keeping the Grand Sport?

I would think you would keep the 91 and sell that one?

I soooooo wish I was in a buying position . . . best of luck and hope you reconsider!

Hope nobody starts bumping the price in the name of getting their friend more money...

I sure wish everything i had tried to get this car would have come through, my new job came too late.

GL buddy!

Bigike, Not looking to be greedy, first one to really step up and offer me my asking price will get the car. I have offers really close but I need my asking price.

RUKWR,
Yeah I thought about selling the GS instead but the 91 is a money pit. As long as I have this car, I will dump more money into her. I came into the realization that this is an addiction and I have to get rid of her. I have wasted so much money into this car that it makes me cringe every time I think about it. It really pains me to do this and that's why the car is not at home with me. I don't even want to see it, hear it, or touch it.

Last night I watched the youtube vid and it made me sad just to see it.
