Chicago Area Members - Check Out a Car
Volo Auto Museum has a 69 red over black convertible for sale.
I live in Ottawa and I don't know this dealer; that said, I would very much appreciate a Chicago area member checking the car out.
You can PM me or email me at:
wayne.emms@rogers.com
Thanks

I live like 30 min away but we have a member that lives in lakemoor which is 2 minutes away. Maybe he'll see this.
Either way Volo is a pretty solid place so I can't imagine they're selling a piece of junk.

Just a an FYI about the Volo Auto Museum.....
A large number of the cars there are on consignment. They are frequently on the higher end price wise for what you are looking at. I am not saying there are no "good" deals, but they are not known for being inexpensive nor do they have a sterling rep for only selling great cars.

Do they waive the admission fee if you are just going in to check out a specific car?

I live about 10 minutes from the museum and I previously did some part time work for the Lakemoor PD so I drove past the place all the time. I would have volunteered to look at the car for you except I am no C3 expert and wouldn't be able to tell you about the cars "accuracy". I can tell if you if it looks good and general condition but the "correctness" goes beyond my knowledge base.

I know that I have one member going to see the car this week; there might also be another. Two sets of eyes are better than one.
Thanks to the members for their great advice and knowledge.
I'll let you know what they find.
