Looks like somebody butt cheeks clenched the leather during the crash.

Too bad there's no way to warn the high bidders of the history of this GS...

...what happens if someone asks the seller "Why is there a whole thread about this car's history on the Corvette Forum under C4s For Sale???" Can the seller delete the question once asked by someone???

He probably would avoid the question completely, like they did with my question about paint work and frame damage...

But to answer your question:

The eBay seller can choose whether or not they make the questions/answers appear in the auction page or not. And of course they can completey ignore the question and not answer it as well.

I'm sure the seller would never answer a question like yours and also choose to display it in the auction.

Funny


I still want the car for 14500

Its still beautiful..

I will say that if he picked the car up for 10k-11500, he is being a tad bit greedy, $hit be happy with 4k in profit...Im the buyer..

I'm not an ebay shopper, but I guess 99% approval rating since 2001 means squat.
I think first tip off that something is wrong is the rusty rotors? I know it's from sitting around, but I've never seen a GS neglected like that

Did anyone else notice that small jagged edge on the very bottom left of the stripe on the bumper?

Well, looks like our GS is back on eBay, but looks like a private seller is selling it-This time for $18K, no reserve!
I wonder if all the gremlins are haunting this owner!!!

I emailed the guy about the car and this is how he responded:

I can not confirm that it was in a wreck..Carfax report was clean. The paint job is very good..and the car runs great, strong,shifts smooth..As I stated in the auction when I bought the car It was stated all original and that is why I bought it. But when the car got delivered and the white strip is painted on you just know..Please dont get me wrong the car for the price is a deal it is just not what I was looking for for my collection.

Good to know it is not what it seems.
