Vette(s): 1976 Stingray Coupe

Girls and boys

 

I just have to share this one with you, i can accross this advert on Ebay and i am now convinced more Corvette is worth way more than i originally thought, it seems some people are really glassy eyed, and if my car was restored like this i would want my money back.

Nice looking car but I doubt it will ever raise that kind of $$$$$. There is a big world of Sharks out the with prices all over the place. This one is made to order for somebody who had one exactly like this at one time before, and has the $$$ now to do it again.

I'm curious about who did the appraisal...

Will be interesting to see what happens, but me thinks nobody's gonna bite that shark...

Vette(s): 1980 all org. with 18000 act. miles dk claret with matching interior..Eagle alloys ..loaded..excellent cond.

 If this car only has 500 miles on it, why did it have to be restored? Think they should read-adjust the head light covers.

Vette(s): 1980 Corvette L-48 automatic all original with 129,000 Kilometres(77000. Miles) Dark claret exterior, Dark claret interior
Did I read that right was that 500 miles or did they leave out  a whole bunch of 000000000s    I'am no expert but that car is all wrong maybe they think full restoration means that they washed it.................................................. 80vettecanada38439.4650925926

I think the emphasis on the word full may leave allot to the imagination. Unless this is one of those "barn" cars I have to agree with 80vettecanada. The analogy left made me agree and laugh! Ps I like the claret color! This color looks really good with gold pinstriping on it! ( I have a friend that has this combination on his car.

Vette(s): Frederick County Corvette Club (Maryland) Tan 64 365 Hp Conv 4 sp Red 72 4 sp Conv ..running a '68 327 Blue 76 Coupe L 48 4 sp White 79 Coupe L 82 auto Silver 98 Conv, 6 sp 35th Anniv '88 vette

I do NOT belong to the NCRS.... just have to wonder how many points the owner would loose on this fully restored 1976 Corvette...IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT ALONE....

I do own a 76 ...and yes mine has chrome valve covers on it...I had to replace the originals..they plain wore out shortly after the car turned over 100000 miles.....(a long time ago) ...BTW

IF the car truely has only 500 miles I wonder IF I could buy all the original parts the owner removed .

I'm sorry guys your cars are obviously of very low quality, i'm sure that one on Ebay is much better??????, and if any of you think the one on Ebay is good I have a absolutley immaculate 76 Vette (comparativley) which i would love to sell you for $75,000, Barret & Jackson eat your heart out .
