That is nice. Can you provide more details on overall condition, history, whether engine/trans are correct, and whether there have been any body or frame repairs that you know of? Are there any specific needs it has right now?
Neglected to add....will you relinquish the vanity plate for an Illinois buyer such as myself?
Thanks, Nick

Condition is nice driver quality. Some paint chip repairs, I think the paint is about 10 years old but can't confirm. Replacement motor and trans, but I do have a correct dated #739 block that can go with the car. Tons of new parts including Diamond Back radials (awesome for driving) and expensive repro Wonderbar with modern parts. You can email me at sgvette@aol.com for direct questions.
And yes, I am asked that question on my cars all the time! I always pick the plate someone wants. The plate could go with the car!
Vettebuyer, This is meant as friendly advice but that ad is lousy. The pics are nice quality, but it has absolutely no information about the car that you cant get from the pics. I am in the market (for a C2). I am a first time Vette buyer, so no experience. But, I do have experience looking at hundreds of ads now and I can say I pass by ads like yours that provide no information. Initially I called people who had ads like that, played tele tag, found out the price wasnt in my range, or just found out it was an automatic, not manual...etc. It gets frustrating for a buyer ( seller too I imagine). Tell it like it is...put all the info out there. Less frustrating for both parties.
Good luck with the sale, it does look really nice.

OK this is my fault. Believe it or not ER1, in the couple of decades I've been selling Corvettes, I figured out how to write an ad. If I wrote an ad for the car, you wouldn't "pass it by," trust me. No need for you to tell me about putting "info out there." There's a reason I rarely list my cars here for sale.
The purpose of the thread was the fact I was kind of impressed with the pictures the guy took, and believe it or not, he's fielding calls. These consignors are usually pretty bad at this, and he took a slew of great pictures. I should have listed this thread in the General Section as a discussion thread- not a For Sale thread...I should have known the ad experts here would need to dissect it.
So- again: my fault- no more first-time buyers need comment.
Mods, Please lock this thread.
I did NOT mean for this thread to be an ad for the car sale.
Sorry you have apparently took offense, none was intended. I was just trying to be helpful from a buyer's perspective. With all of your experience, perhaps you should write your own ad as it would be much better I'm sure. I apologize that this inexperienced first time buyer had the audacity to make a friendly suggestion to someone in your position. Sorry, I must have lost my head.

I think starting out by saying that " that ad is lousy " was the kicker.
Just some friendly advice.
