vette bargains at palm beach I totally agree -- the big block c2 cars that were barely getting into the 100k range was a shock to me -- I also agree that there were many vettes -- too many for the sellers to get fair prices -- my other theory is... corvettes were better cared for by the...

as a man who just spent many months shopping for a 65 vert -- i would say that the 66 coupe should be 40k firm -- if he wants to offer you 38 or 35 -- it's up to you to decide -- there is a large psychological hiccup that happens over 40 -- as a buyer something about 39.99k sounds so much better...

Barry once again you amaze me -- i will use your check list -- but yes -- the gauge will go to 240 but it will come down if it gets a little air cooling -- i think the restriction may be the problem -- the fan and the shroud look to be perfectly placed...but i am gonna run through your list --...

if the gauge is maxed at 220 which i think it is ... i have had the needle right at 220 -- that day i was driving it on the ventura freeway that had bad stop and go traffic for over an hour and it was hot outside 90+ but i also had it in the city driving light to light for 40 minutes and it...

Hey guys -- it's neelfryer again -- ypu remember me the guy who bought my brother a 65 vert...well in the brief time I've had it (it's safe and dry in storage until Novemebr 4th when he gets it) but when I drove it it really heated up quickly -- the gear shift gets hot and I can feel the heat...

yes -- 68 GT 500 KR vert 4 speed --

folks I just checked a website for corvette central and they have the white soft top for $2089...!!!! -- is that right ? -- i just need the material not the frame or assembly -- that seems outrageously high dollars --- also what are the correct wheels for this 65 -- i don't want repro ko's --...

it's called a "hertz" top -- which is some kind of mercedes canvas or rolls canvas -- that's what i've heard -- the man i bought the car from had it done by a man in camarillo ca (which is about half way between la and santa barbara -- I don't know much else about it -- but if i do remove the...

yes -- the shelby is in the registry -- in january of 1982 -- the owner at the time a steve mason was lsited -- it's 03223 -- I contacted the 68 registry administrator and he was happy to hear form the car -- they hadn't heard from it in a long time it was way back a NY car but found it's way...

Folks After wearing you all out by badgering you for opinions and expert analysis I have bought and brought home the 1965 365hp vert with the extra stamp on the pad.... Now after all the discussion that went on here on the forum -- I only ask that you love her as if she was your own -- she has...

I spoke with him -- he wants 70k -- nice guy -- he's owned a lot of midyears -- it has PS and some special susupension for BB cars -- he was very confident in the car and how it presents -- he told me that I would see when I came how much money he spent on this car with no plan of ever...

the listing is new but that # is right ...search for a 1967 corvette....santa barbara

Folks neelfryer is back on the hunt -- here is a 67 NOM vert that is marina blue -- originally 427 car that has a 454 -- original blue plate cali tags which is nice and it again is in my back yard -- what is the upside to this car and what is a fair price or good deal? I know you guys have to...

Jim I love your comments -- I've been thinking more and more about the 65 for 42.5 -- I haven't found anything close...he is on a trip and returning on sunday..we're supposed to talk then -- perhaps we can close our gap...if you know of anything better lemme know -- that 55k car is interesting...

guys great comments -- i particularly like the suggestion about a 300hp car -- I'm opening up more and more to different cars...I still want nassau blue vert 4 speed but will now consider 65-67 -- with 65 being top choice -- I would really love factory PS -- but really let me know of any cars...
