Is that the red one with a $15000 start price?  I'll bet the reserve is way too high!

I'd never buy a car I couldn't look at or test drive.

I don't know how to post the picture.
Sent the owner a email and he wants $25000 before he sells. I went to the ebay site and did a search on corvette and up it came, only 3 days to go.

Onya!

25g's is an average price for a vette but like Chris mentions, you'd really want to be able to atleast make an inspection and see it before buying.

Ebay is not the only place around if you're vette hunting. Check out http://www.carpoint.com.au  (plenty there) and http://www.uniquecars.com.au for more comparison. Alternatively, check our own classifieds here at http://www.nswcorvettes.com or on this forum from time to time to see what club members have for sale.

Corvette's, especialy C3's can be a little mis leading in photo's and I'd recommend eyeballing one as a caution prior to purchase.

Good luck!

I would not buy a car without first giving it the once over. Be it in Qld, Vic or act. I would of loved to have Waynes 78, but no money at the time. As I know stuff all about corvettes I ask for people opions and I say thanks to all. I will buy one but it's a time frame. Thanks again;27;27:);)
