Well you know I'm a believer all thing happen for a reason.....Here is a story for you....
Last year our local club goes to a cruise out into a country small town at an old time soda fountain. I park next to another C3 vette I had never seen before. Pull out my chair and we start talking about their car. 71 or 72 big block t-top emerald green tan interior. Nice repaint base coat /clear coat. They told me how they had looked at maybe 10 vettes and found things like what happened to you. They are retired folks, I think it's a stick car not sure....I fell in love with the car just knowing the raw power in that car
Thanks guys. Yeah it pays to be careful - and I have been, had a inspection done (if anyone wants a guy who knows what he is doing go to www.autoappraise.com) but still these dealers are trying to fool me. Hopefully ill have it sorted soon.
ebo - talk about the gods lookin down on me! thats very good to hear..if you come across their details I'd love to check out this vette. I will say though that it needs to be a 4 speed - if it is, im definately interested and would like to investigate it further! Let me know - i can email you my email address to pic's .
Now this down under talk, boys. I am getting a strong feeling that you both need a holiday?! lol. Winter here at the moment, but from Septmeber onwards the weather is magic. Im sure you'd be able to fit in the space behind the seats in the C3? 6 week boat trip will do you the world of good!
