[QUOTE=ossw1]With 100,000 miles it would cost more to restore it then what it would be worth.[/QUOTE]
I agree. There's one just listed on ebay, #1 condition, 200 miles, buy now @ $14,600.

I was on ebay over the weekend and it looked like there was not much activity on vehicles listed. Bad market conditions are taking their toll.

It's worth just aboot what the current bid is...$1,025.00
It would take prolly $30,000 to get the car back in presentable condition, and then it would be worth $20,000...maybe.
I hate to see a Shark(or ANY Corvette) go to h ell like that, tho, so it would be worth saving, if someone simply had the $$$, and wanted the car to drive, and enjoy.

Vette(s): Silver 1974 Convertible - L82 4 speed
Low miles (was only 8,900 when I bought it in March 2006) - Now 54K miles. Original owner bought it as an investment for son's college expenses.
2008 Jetstream Blue Convertible
I'm wondering/thinking the reason the back glass was replaced is the same reason the rear end looks like it does - rear end collision
I wanted a Corvette my whole life, but I never dreamed of all the wonderful people I would meet because of it!

Its got either an 80 or 81 front end on it or else someone has changed the flags, definitely aint 82 or 82 collector edition flags. I guess it depends on your definition of "unmolested"
