Default 68 "True Convertible" on Ebay

This is from a performance used car sales organization. Don't think they sell many Corvettes.

I wonder about this Prostreet Performance place. It's like they have never seen a C-3 before. And a 75% rating on 3 votes.

I foresee a 50 percenter soon. Sound familiar Dawg?:lol:

Smells like shill bidding to me (though that's just my opinion). Lack of feedback and the fact that he's got the "user ID kept private" turned on for the bidder's IDs is kinda suspicious, IMHO.

Gee, and a ripped top to boot. How incredibly rare.
Although I would like to see an example of the "hard top convertible" he is talking about.
I bet if you asked this guy he would say the car is all fiberglass.

It sounds like this guys vast knowledge of corvettes was all obtained from one place; Ebay.

I'd be willing to bet that he looked at several ads for C-3 convetibles that either had hard tops included and the seller called it a roadster instead of a convetible. So he just assumed that his was really Rare!!!
What a maroon.

All gauges work except for the clock.
:skep: Not such a rare car after all... Just like every other C-3 on the road. :yesnod:
