I should have pics posted later tonight, I checked it out today and the crank snapped and dampner fell off. It will need a motor for sure. The underneath looks good, the guy I got it from spent a TON of cash( way to much) on this car. He spent 10K on paint, 8K rear and suspension, 8k on the motor , he put digital dash in it, all body bushings, Supertrap exhaust,American racing wheels, he just dumped a ton into it. It has fiberglass front and rear bumpers. This is a good car for a entry level, that will be fine with a bottom end and you can just drive it and redo the interior. I have had alot of replys BUT $4500 is firm

He wants $4500. And 73 had the chrome rear bumper, rubber fronts.

A little reading and fact checking can save a lot of embarrassment.

At any rate, a ttt for the seller.

Good luck

Yes it can.

The ad says the owner paid $8K for the 383 in the car. The poster above said "i paid 4000 for my 383".

Doesn't sound like a bad deal for the car.

Just to clear it up some, I wouldnt spend this kind of cash on a motor but he had SOMEONE do it, added headers, aluminum water pump and heads, fluid dampner, 750 holley, 4 core rad plus manifold, and when you have a Corvette shop do this work we all know it adds up. I am sure they charged at least 75 bucks an hour. He had all the work done from a shop in Jersey called CORVETTEWORKS. I dont want to break it up for parts but I may. I might just throw a motor in it and sell it at Carlisle in Spring if no interest. I cant get to my AOL emails until tonight, I will reply to all intersted then. Thanks again

I will try and get some interior pics, but it needs to be redone. It has power steering and brakes and tilt and tele.AC is gone. Seats have covers on them and carpets are shot. Tires are about 75% best I can do for now.

I haven't ever seen "Supertraps" coming out of the back of a vette!

Nice looking blue! Congrats on the sale!
