2004 - Show car - my loss your gain !!
2004 Custom Chevrolet Corvette. One of a kind, Vette Magazine cover car. No expense spared on this high-end custom show car. Flamed, blown, chromed and flawless. Mint condition with not a single blemish or chip on the entire car including the outside, inside, engine bay and detailed undercarriage.
The entire car was fully disassembled including pulling the engine and drive train, suspension, and every nut and bolt on the underside to detail for shows. Total cost of this alone was $80,000. An additional $125,000 (not counting the car) was spent on labor, parts and materials to make this one of the “best of the best show” cars. This Corvette not only runs and looks perfect it, comes with its own custom show stand including mirrors and lights. Ready for the next “best of show” award. Top 20 at Super Chevy, Mid-America winner, Carlisle events, and many more awards. Selling for a fraction of the $230,000 plus invested. $69,500 or best offer. All documentation included.

I did the same thing to my first 1972 Corvette. The car cost $6,000 new in 1972 and I poured nearly $50k into it over the nest 2 years (8 times the cost of the car when I ordered it from GM). Only had 2,000 miles on it. I could not sell it 11 years later and a Dealer finally shopped it out to a 3rd party that gave me $9,000 trade-in toward a 1984 Corvette. Biggest loss I ever took - the "time" is what hurt the most, but I created a monster.
Hope you have better luck - at least with the Internet, you now have exposure! You just need "one" buyer.

Just as a slight reality check: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c5-c...iles-sold.html
This car sold for low 30's. You might have a stack of receipts but no one is going to pay for all that labor you paid someone to polish screws and bolts. Good luck however with the sale.
