Re: [Chevelle-list] One for you Corvette guys
Darn, I could have bought one for $3,500 20+ years ago that was in mint condition. The owner was pissed about the wheels being stolen twice in 1 year. He had no place to store it and left it in the apt. complex parking lot where he lived. It didn't last long as that price was good even back then. I didn't have any place to park it either.

Re: [Chevelle-list] One for you Corvette guys
I have one. Two weeks ago on the Saturday Lou Manfradey Show (call in show for home repair problems - Chicago area) Lou got a call from a gentleman with a car in his basement and was inquiring about ways to remove it. The caller is explaining that he is not a car guy, knew the car was part of the rec-room decor of a custom home, didn't know it's value but after buying the house was not sure how to remove the car without taking it apart. Removal was suggested to excavate to the foundation as the yard sloped away from the house, cut out foundation, remove car and re-pour foundation. Lou was more interested in the car. The house was built in 1963 with the original owner having the car lowered into the basement during construction. Still at this point the caller wasn't offering to much information about the car as he did not want any publicity or phone calls. Lou final got the guy to say what car it was, but the caller was more concerned about the estimated 15K for the construction work. Lou is telling the guy 15K is nothing compared to the value of the car which turned out to be a 1963 Corvette Stingray in perfect condition with 3 miles on the odometer.

Re: [Chevelle-list] One for you Corvette guys
I just looked at the guy's other auctions.
