Probably to the right guy, but it needs tires. 7 yo tires are too old IMHO.

From what I understand these tires have a hard compound F1 GS D3 goodyear and the car is always in garage, with less than 500 miles on them I think they have some life left.

I also have a spare set of aluminum non chromed ZR-1 9.5 front and 11 rear with 275 and 315s pro comp TAs that came on the car but tires are worn out, they will go with the car as well

Selling, Trying to get an idea of what I can get as a fair price. Paid $ 8000 for car about 3 years ago and put $ 10,000 in it. It seems market on these is so bad right now you have to almost give it away to sell. But open for offers. Selling because I don't have room anymore for car and I do not have time to drive it. No point in letting it waste away outside in weather so I either should sell it or store it.

Thanks, economy is in the basement and no one has any money these days. Seems like cars don't bring what blue book value is anymore. Just wondering if anyone was interested. I have a few more pics of interior that I can e-mail to anyone who may have an interest. It has the Mid America black seat with the red sport stripe down the middle or the moderator may be able to put them up, I think I downloaded them into album.

it's allot of car for $7500 for the right buyer. The new owner must like the color, the gauges in the interior, cam, exhaust note etc..

put it on more sites, the auction site, craigslist, park it on a busy street corner with a for sale sign, take it to car shows with for sale sign etc...

hang in there it will sell, remember there an *** for every seat!

I would have bought it if I knew about it. Looks good. I ended up buying a bone stock one owner 87 (66k miles) from a guy that bought it new as a retirement gift to himself. I like it, paid 6k, but really would have preferred yours. 7500 is a good price in saint louis ( I'm born and raised in STL area- still am here after 43 years.)

The car is definitely worth it and most likely more to the right person. Don't get discouraged. The prices for solid C4 Corvettes are finally starting to move up.

Keep listing it and expand your marketing efforts to many more sites and venues.

Thanks, I really am liking the way it runs now especially with the tranny rebuild. I probably will regret selling it so cheap but I can't help myself when it comes to cars. Next thing I know I will be putting coilovers , brake upgrade and a 427 sb in a car and on and on to the point of no return. That is why I have decided to get out now before I have $40,000 in this car.

Have you thought about taking your car to Corvettes at Carlisle? I think you could get what you wanted easily at this event for your car. If is a fun event and there you will find a crowd who might be looking to buy your Corvette. Buy the way it is a very nice looking car. GLWS
