Vette(s): 1972 conv., sunfire yellow, blk interior, blk vinyl and convertible top. Off frame restoration with American Speed 383 stroker engine producing 500hp plus a 200hp NOS system. MSD ignition. Hooker super competition headers with chambered exhaust.
Here's another fish that came out of the water. I had the high bid at $10k when it was taken off ebay with 2 days left on the auction. I called the guy and was told that someone offered him $16k so he took it off.

Seems like it was a fresh water swim, which is way less disastrous than a salt water job. It would be interesting to know if any C3VR members have rescued a C3 from a situation like this... and the work involved.

Man that '81's got a nice body on it, but that '69 is waaayyyy too much work for me to ever consider.
