Vette(s): 76 stingray
Hi All,
I am new to the forum with only a few post so far. (by the way this is a great place for info and look forward to getting to know some of you better) This is my first vette and I have been waiting sence I was 9 or 10! LOL
From what I have seen so far, this must have been ment to be. I have looked all over and havent seen a deal/steal like this.
76 sting ray body almost perfect, really nice interior, good paint and runs perfect. Suppose to be maching #s.  I am in the process of rebuilding the front end as the bushings were shot, a small radiator leak and a crack in the lower suspenion on the frame. ( crack fixed now)
I got this car for $3800.00. I dove it home from Baltimore MD. The care was from TN and has almost no rust.
What do ya think,,, did I get a deal or what?

The final decision is for you to make.  But from my point of view, you did not buy this car, you STOLED it !!  Nice looking and from what you say you "Made a Deal of the Century.!!  Good Luck and keep us posted of your progress !!Thumbs Up

I would say you got a helva deal. Also, there ain't much out there for 3800 that you can just get in and drive that far home.

First, welcome aboard...you will love this site. I think you got a spectacular deal. If it has a good frame and you drove it that far, you did good.

Madrider,
Nice looking Vette!
I'd say you stepped right in to it.
I paid a little more than you did and had to have mine flatbedded to a shop before I did much driving.
Welcome to the site & enjoy your Corvette!
Thumbs Up
Kevin

All I can say is "SCORE!" what a great deal you got. Vettes for that price anywhere around here usually make good lawn decorations. Of course it being a '76 makes it cool!
