1985 vette. motor needs work/rebuilt
Red/black interior(originally red leather interior). fresh automatic trans, recent paint job, 1993 chrome stock17" wheels. true dual exhaust.
this car has the interior restored. the new paint has suffered some scratches from my dog jumping on it. but most will rub out.
Recently replaced items: completly updated headlight assemblies, they are the 1988 and up type. this upgrade cost me over 1100.00. power booster, master cylinder, brakes, steering column, altenator, battery, maf, accel ignition system, shocks, energy suspension poly bushings, all u-joints, all wheel bearings, upgraded to the beefer stock 1986 and newer steering wheel, new seats, carpet, center console, power window switches, digital cluster, and fuel pump. This car has the 1991-96 front facia. but i have the original parts.
i am the second owner. i have had it about 9 years. the car has 122,000 miles. The motor needs to be repaired/rebuilt. The rear tires are worn. $3900.00 located near detroit.
Go here for pictures of the car. http://temp.corvetteforum.net/c3/dixon

Any chance you would take a 1966 Fairlane convertible as a trade? It has a 6 cylider in it that has been rebuilt and I will throw in a 77 ford truck with a 302 and 4 speed for a transplant. the body is in good condition, but defintely not perfect.

If this car hasn't sold yet I am amazed. It's tough for me to resist looking into it but my wife would absolutely freak if I bought another Vette. Maybe if I can swing getting her into that new Suburban she's been wanting with all this low % financing going around, hmmm.... honey, can we go look at Suburbans tomorrow? :D

silver bullet, I get about 4 emails a day from you containing a virus. Not sure if you are aware that this is going on. I did not know until today who you were.
As far as the car goes. I will take 3500.00 for it. Somebody come and get it!

I think the motor is toasted?? Possibly a broken timing chain. It grinds as it turns over. I have sold some of the new interior pieces. But i did replace them with the old ones. My phone number is 586-536-5166
