When I was repairing my '03 coupe, which I bought wrecked, I dealt with a place in Maryland that had everything and they treated me fair. Call Chuck at 301-873-6103. Hope this helps, good luck!!!!!

Perfect! This is what I was looking for the whole time. Where in MD is it?

Also, two things...
1. All of you have it wrong, my gf is the one that wants to keep the car because she loves the car so much. So, instead of dumping her I need to upgrade her i guess.

2. The big news.......... I have decided to keep it and fix it up. Thank you for all of your input and making me realize that I am already over that point of selling it. I was reluctant to do it in the first place and now I am glad I didnt sell it. The first time I got in it after I had decided to keep it was like the first day I got the car. I am very excited to still have the vette and hopefully one day I can pass it down to my son (if/when I have one)

This!!

I don't understand why anyone would be worried about the resale value of their vette after 75k? MOD IT OUT, play with it, and personalize it. You already know what is wrong, what has been fixed. 100k is nothing anymore.

What is the value of the car to you? If you enjoy the car and it brings you joy, what is the worth?

That girl better be hot.. I mean really f@#$ hot to think about selling a vette (still not worth in IMO). You'll regret it.. trust us.

Consider the above statement.

Unless you're selling it to start a family, I'd say just hang onto it. It may be a looooooooooooong time before you can get a vette back in your stable.

I think you would regret it later on down the road, so I am glad you changed your mind about selling it!!
