$400k spent ???

I don't think so!

Asking $169k

I hope this is not a forum members car! He say's its a convertible with removable top! It's a coupe! He's trying to ask big bucks with a handful of mobile phone pics!

"NOUTHING TO SPEND NOT EVEN A DOLLAR "

Seems it comes with free petrol, too.

"COMPLETLY RESTORED BY THE CORVETTE SPECIALIST FROM BOTTOM AND UP"

Okay, which of you Corvette Specialists is responsible?

"NEVER TO BE SEEN ON EBAY AUCTION SITE OR ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE WORLD AGAIN"

He really thinks it will sell!

;58


I'm tempted to go and check it out -- just to meet the seller.

Sold for $169k ... bollocks.

Have a look at the purchasing history of the alleged "buyer": DVDs and china dolls.

Probably his mother.

Seller has no prior eBay history and joined yesterday.

Yet more inconsistency. Tells you he will sell it for $200,000 yet he sticks a 'buy it now' price of $169,000, and I still say bollocks to his alleged eBay sale at $169,000.

someone email this link to him.... ;laugh

If he sells it for 200,000 im gunna chase up the buyer and try to sell him mine, Ill even cut my losses and try for 180k (LOL). Then I'll buy 4 good vette's when I go to the U.S. for a month at easter.

;41

Oh yeah I'll go to a newsagent, buy a receipt book and write up 500k worth of receipts, Flawless

He's obviously escaped from Roselle Hospital, I should alert the authorities so they can straight jacket him and put him back in the padded room!

I might be wrong, but i have a suspicion and remember seeing this car at the Castle Hill Towers all mustang day car show.. it was parked with some other vettes near the entry area.  

Wow.. a whole 600 plus horsepower and more from all that work!..  i think thats pretty poor for a blown 350 stroked engine.....i might be wrong, but i think at the show, if this is the car, it was advertised with over 1000Hp.. ...hmmm... someone correct me?

I remeber quite clearly as i was wondering how a stock C3 chasis could cope with such power, having read up on the work required to beef up the frame and suspension.

Well, i reckon if he can get $169k for this, then Andy, you should be able to get $300K without any trouble for yours...lol ;42... what do you reckon?

Like yours , its also one of a kind, thats made magazines all over the world.. or was that yours, hmmmm i cant remember.....maybe this chap should call the states and get his beast recognized!

Cheers fellas....;52

 69VETTE 600+hp rear wheel (700+engine) is quite good for 400cube supercharged! But I reakon he's guessing, I,m sure someone would have seen it around or heard about this Vett??? I think I saw the Vett you are talking about...it to said something like 600rwhp,it was red but said it had a 370ci supercharged, but looked a bit different to the pix????? but it could be the one??? I saw it again at Tug in the Park but it didnt have a for sale sign on it?
Yolo thats sounds like a good price!

Ended 12-Feb-09 19:36:44 AEDST"
