Can you post some pictures of the car here on the forum. I am looking for a 74 Corvette Orange Convertible, paint code should be 80L on the car. If yours was originally that color then send me information and pictures please. I think you might be over priced in this market, but pictures would help me to assess level of interest please.

I posted some pictures to the gallery. They are waiting for approval.
The paint code is 80L. As I said in my listing, "The car was originally Orange" but is now Red. You may be correct on the pricing, but you have to start somewhere.

I think David has a point- posting pictures might be a better way to sell.

....yeah, I'd love to have an Orange '74 roadster, especially with that Black interior & a 4 spd.

...that car is nice, but it'd be stunning if it was back to it's original Orange color.

Bump for another price drop. Getting interest, but no firm offers. See my original post.

Default Was It Something I Said???

Wow, that was odd. Was it something that I said? I sent a detailed personal message showing interest in the car and asking some detailed questions and never got a response. Then I see this posting where it says "Off the Market" and wonder what happened? My questions were what I thought to be reasonable and my points were intended to start a dialogue for a possible purchase. Not sure what happened but hopefully you are either keeping it or found another buyer.
Best regards,
David Howard

David,

Nope, nothing you said.

My reason for selling was a chance to buy a streetrod that I've been lusting after for years. My friend has it on the market to pay for his new rod he's picking up early next week. He had a buyer for his, but offered me first chance on buying it if I could come up with the cash by this weekend. I needed to sell mine to come up with enough cash. That was the reason for putting mine up for sale.
It seems that the market is too soft to move mine at this time. I dropped my price $500.00 a day for 3 days, and still didn't get a firm offer. $15K was what I needed to make the deal work for the streetrod.

I decided to just throw in the towel and accept the fact that I'm not going to be able to buy his streetrod.

That was why I was willing to sell in this soft market... oh well.

Thanks for your interest.

Jeff

Got it Jeff, thanks for responding. Was afraid I was the culprit and never wanted to be the one to upset anyone. I'll keep looking myself and best of success with your car whatever you decide in the future.

Here is a pic of my 74 L-82 4 speed air conditioned baby with 63k mile. She needs a little attention but hey, took a little time to find exactly what I wanted.
