I saw this on craigslist and if I didn't already have a TR 99 FRC I'd be taking a hard look at this one. This is a Chevy dealer in Clarksville, Tennessee.

I updated the link, not sure it's still there though.

Looks like a good one!

That does look pretty clean, and appears that nobody has molested it.

Must have sold it really fast - when I clicked on the link, it said this vehicle is no longer available.

I get a Blazer with 159K+ miles on it...

It may be gone but here it is again, I haven't called about it though.

Since I started this I decided to call to see if they still had the car. Talked to a young lady, a salesperson I believe, and she needed my phone number because it was going to take 10 minutes or so to find out if they still have it. Now they sell a lot of cars but their dealership isn't that large!

It does look pretty nice and a good price from a dealer too.

It looks pretty stock except for the polished thinspokes.

In one of the pictures it looks like the shifter **** is twisted, so it may be missing the demon key or a different shifter?

I always look at other FRC's. I really like mine.

Don't want to start WW3 but I just can't wrap my head around why anyone would want a FRC. I sort of understand the z06 it was only sold that way. If I ever bought a z06 (Never say never) I would get a targa conversion in a heart beat. I just need to feel the wind go over my mostly bald head.

f6john

They called back and they have a buyer, though not a done deal.

No WW3 first strike here but if your avatar is your ride is all I can say is that people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

My mostly bald head gets all the wind I need when I ride this

Certainly will not start WWIII, everyone deserves an opinion, and everyone thinks a little differently.

I have to agree with you, having a car where the top comes off is a plus, but how much of a plus is a different matter.

When i started looking last summer, if I found the right car, it was over then, but aside from that, my priorities were #1 Z06, #2 frc, #3 conv, #4 coupe.

No offense to any types of Corvette, i like them all, would the Z06 be even better with a targa top? Probably, but i would want it to be factory.

Actually there was a FRC for sale when i was looking that was just about perfect for what i wanted, perfect color, Z06 rims etc.

It was so overpriced, i never even called the guy, did not think it was worth it, his car was not going for near that on ebay, but at the time i doubt he cared (took him a LONG time to sell, and some severe price cutting).

I ended up getting a newer Z, with less than half the miles for considerable less than his original asking price.

So to answer your question very long winded-like, i like frc's, just like Z06's a bit better.

First read the post below yours for a few tips on replying to a question. I'm not throwing rocks at anyone just asking why buy a FRC.


Then second what does my Pace Car have anything to do with the subject? Now if you had asked why I bought a Pace Car vs a plain jane 98 I would 've told you, but you didn't and that is another post. This post is about FRC vettes.

that appears to be a great deal if you can get it bought.

Some of us just think the FRC looks much better (I do!) and don't care about open top cruising. I've owned a targa before (Supra Turbo) and it really isn't for me. If I were buying a open top car, it would be a convertible....and I am not.

mxz800

I have 2 mustangs both converts, 74 vette convert, 98 Pace Car, a Chrysler convert, the only vehicles I own that aren't is a minivan, and 3/4 ton truck. If I didn't hate the PT Cruiser convert, I would've that instead of the minivan.

When its nice out it sort of bugs me to see a convertible with its top up.

Hey but its all good I just didn't get it. I guess if we all liked the same color, and body style it would get old fast.

Let me help you understand why I don't need any tips replying to a post. I, as the OP, was just showing an opportunity to anyone who might be looking for an FRC. They are quite popular to a select group of people of which you are apparently not included. It's a good thing too, there aren't enough FRC's to go around as it is now! Now you have a Pace Car, I like Pace Cars, wouldn't be my first choice, and probably would not ever own one but I have no problem understanding why someone else would.

I doubt if your Pace Car would have been mentioned by me if you had anything positive to add the post. I also have a pretty good idea why you may have bought a Pace Car verus a "plain jane 98" so I didn't feel the need to ask for confirmation.

If no one else asks, you might consider a new post, Why I bought a Pace Car. I'm sure it would be interesting and informative.

When I ask a question again please do me a favor don't reply not that I'll see it. (ignore list) Really is sad that I can't ask a simple question without someone else getting nasty.

f6john

I'm going to apologize for being so pissie, not in my nature usually.

renegad44

If shifting (MMN6) wouldn't put a strain on my bad back, I definitely would have gone for a Z06, or FRC, much better body style to me, but my Coupe, with top on works fine....

Recently I found out if I wanted to spend the money, I could have had a Z06 changed over to an A4...Oh well...

f6john

I really love my 6spd but if I could have a FRC with a 6spd auto, a high stall convertor and paddle shifters I think I could live without the clutch .
