Default Blk vette

Nice looking vette for the price. Do you approximate horsepower? GLWTS.

If I had to guess I would say between 250 and 300hps. Thanks for looking

Lesson Learned car dealerships are not interested in a C3, no matter how good of shape it’s in.

Very little rust on frame or anywhere else. The T-Tops leak under high pressure but not during normal rain fall. Thanks for looking

Great. Birdcage is good too? It’s my first time buying so I’m just trying to make sure I have all my bases covered and that I’m not gonna get stuck with something I don’t have the means to fix. Where are you located?

To the best of my knowledge the birdcage is in good shape. The door post mounts are clean with very little rust. The car is not perfect it need little things like the carpet on the seat backs is coming loose, the interior was painted black by the PO and has some chips and scratches that show the original color. It’s not bad and overall looks ok. I live in North Canton, Ohio.
