Default 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.

Apparently Volo just got the car in very recently and they just posted the ad in the last day or two. There should be a price and full description later this week.

Thanks for the post.

No problem. I'll see if I can make it up there but it wouldn't be till next weekend. Volo is a museum as they have very nice cars there. It's not a normal dealership, it's a very well known and respected car museum.

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?

Thanks for the response. I heard from another member thst the A.I.R system is missing and that the valve covers are incorrect. Not sure what else is wrong.

A member is going for a look sonetime this week.

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.

Thanks for the offer.

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.

I've never purchased a car at Volo, but I've been there a number of times. To be honest, I've never been that impressed with the quality of their cars.

Doesn't really matter now; car has been sold.
