Default Looking for a bumper car ....

I recently sold my weekend toy and now getting serious about getting a new replacement for the garage. Cash buyer, would like to find something in the south east but will travel for the right one. I thought I wanted a C6 but have always loved the bumper cars. I can always get a newer one later but feel the need to get this off my list ........

Looking for:
Coupe
Small block motor
Big block style hood
Automatic or manual trans
Power brakes
AC
Blue, Orange, Gray, Silver, Gold

Would like:
Cragar wheels
Sidepipes
PS

I love the Baldwin Motion look alikes but the paint scheme is not a deal breaker. It needs to be in a very good driver state, with no body/rust/paint issues. I don't mind tinkering with little or minor things but I do not want to get tied up into working on major projects. You can post here, PM me or send me an e-mail, please include a picture, price and location.

Thanks

I have a 72 convert that I am considering selling. Have owned this car for 12 years, one of 13 vettes I've owned. Sold others, but always kept this one. Basic base engine 42k orig mi, auto, 4th owner, pop, tank sticker, window sticker, orig manuals, etc. The car was bead blasted and repainted in 07. New rag top, all suspension redone, trailing arms, brake updgrades. Some engine boltons and exhaust. Only selling to get a 04z06.

I know of a '72 small block convertible at a local used car dealer. Ontario orange, saddle interior, automatic, both tops, they claim numbers matching. Really nice looking restored car. Asking about $24K but they've had it a while. Located in Albuquerque, NM. I can get contact information if you're interested.

I really like this one but not sure about the green interior...... Are you close enough to view it for me if needed?

Default Bumper Car

Dragon are you opposed to shifting gears? I have a 68 but it's a manual shift car and it's unique. It's a 68 427/435 car 5 speed bad to the bone ground pounding coupe. The car is now an L-88 (clone) with correct casting L-88 heads,427 block, mechanical camshaft and runs like "jack the bear". I am located in GA. This car was found as a basket case 4 years ago and has since been redone. Lots of $$ spent to date. If you are interested in seeing some pics PM with your e-mail address and I will send you some pics.

Hi Gerry,
Thanks for the thought, I think the BB might be a bit much but I will send a PM.

I have a steel city gray 1971 Coupe with black interior that I am interested in selling. It has the base 350 cu in (270hp) engine, PS, A/C, 4spd, rear window defogger (rare option). This is a very original car which I have owned for the last 20 years. Just finished installing new brakes, master cylinder, exhaust and rechromed original bumpers this past weekend. The paint is original so its showing some age and I have had some minor paint touch work done. The car is near Ann Arbor Michigan and has always been kept inside.

While your looking for an automatic I must advise a 4 spd is much more fun.

It has a lot of additional new parts which I will detail to you if you are interested. I was planning on selling in the spring so don't have any pictures right now but can take a few pictures and send them to you later tonight if you are interested in a 4 spd.
