I wouldn't lower your asking price. You have a wonderful car that is worth probably more than you are asking. These low ballers need to do what I did. Buy a barn find for
$10,000.00, put another $15,000.00 in parts, paint, etc. and then spend a minimum of 1500 hours minimum to completely rebuild and restore the car.
I have a car just like yours that I just completed restoring which will be for sale for more than you are asking.
Hagerty Insurance has a chart showing the value of these cars. They are showing $50,000.00 plus in like new condition.
I also believe that the value of these cars will increase as the value of the C2s are increasing and becoming harder to find.

This is a beautiful example of an LT-1 car.
They will increase, as time goes by. Check out this thread:

My LT-1 car is insured for (agreed) 62K.
Someone will appreciate Saggs' car and step up to the pump.
Early C3 cars are currently really weak on the money.

I went through your entire 116 photos and have some questions.
Is this the original paint?
Where are photos of the underside of the car front to back paying particular attention to the frame?
Where are pictures of the birdcage including shots up under the dash?

I see LoneStarV's earlier post to which my post below was in response to has been deleted, I assume by the moderators, thank you. I won't then quote the entire message here but felt a response was in order to clear up a few things for those who may have read it before it was removed.
I mentioned the inspector pegged it as a Second Flight car with Top Flight potential. I have not represented the car as a Top Flight car as was mentioned in a previous post. I had an NCRS judge inspect the car. A person by the way who was the class leader for the early C3's for ALL of NCRS and knows a thing or two. MANY of the items on the list were corrected over the last year. If anyone is serious about looking at the car and has the money in at least the ball park of the asking, PM me. I would like nothing more than to host you at my house to inspect and drive this beautiful car. I'm going to register for the NCRS local event in October if I can still get in and have it judged to get a baseline. From speaking to previous owners, they have no knowledge of it ever being judged. I'm excited to see how it does.
Thank you to those who have posted with integrity and respect...it is greatly appreciated.

Hi there. The paint is not original. The car was repainted at a very high quality (even better in person than the pics) about 9-10 years ago now. The car IS an original Warbonnet yellow car. The frame is solid, no rust. I have limited photos of the underside from when it was inspected prior to me buying it. However the car was in a dark and dusty warehouse on a lift so they are not the best pictures. I have no lift, nor an access to one just to snap new pictures. PM me your email address and I will send you the few I have. Thank you!
