Possible project

[C4fan]

What do you guys think? I have my wheels and tires and engine from the 93 that are still good. Maybe turn it for a profit? I probably won't but it sure has me thinking about offering $2500-2700 for it.

Hell yeah. Offer him 25 C notes in cash, and I bet you drag it home. Go for it.....looks like a fun project.

It sure looks tempting. The wifey isn't too keen on another vehicle and the 93 would have to go outside since I only have room for 1 car at a time.

We don't. The rest of the space is to slaughter the beef on the spot. Freshness is critical. :yesnod:

I thought it was to leave room for the Bull's shit. :lol:

I thought true Texans just knocked off their horns,wiped its ass and threw it on a plate:)

I would do a detailed inspection before you make an offer. Im not a fan of vehicles with no wheels and tires for sale. They either were stolen or The Vette was not in high priority and the wheels were sold or used for other vehicle.

I would go and look at before making any kind of offer. And would call them and ask a few questions before even doing that.:seasix:

I'm guessin' there might be some interior parts involed...$$$$$ Looks like a theft recovery...:shots:

[C4fan]

From the teeny weeny pics it looks like both gill panels are missing. Even if I decide not to do it I may call him tomorrow just to find out more about it. He describes the interior as "fair".

sounds like a distraction, but if you peruse craigslist a lot, you will realize it is a buyer's market still. Not sure about this vette- could have a bad transmission too- they didn't start selling parts off of it for nothing.

I'm shocked that you married a racist Bill:rofl:

It's a C6 thing, you understand.:D

I thought of that too, I wasn't going to consider it if it was auto. Too easy to be bad. The guy didn't put the mileage on his ad so it makes me wonder. I really don't need another car or project, the only reason I was considering this is because it appeared to lack the exact parts I have. If it's missing anything else and it wouldn't be worth it.

I called the guy today. The car is an auto but has a new/rebuilt/? tranny and the original that came out that he will throw in. He also has the gill panels, didn't ask why he took them off. It has 140K on the clock. Didn't ask why the tires/wheels are missing. Still may try to go look at it tomorrow. The wifey is sure giving me the look though.:leaving:

Don't be scared, Bill. Show her who the man of the house is. :D

Better fax him an RV to sleep in just in case this goes south.....:rofl:

[Sweet 90]

Or at least have 911 on speed dial.:)

That would be a hell of a FAX.

I did that once but she said "That's fine honey but I've have the check book":banghead:

Around here we call that a 'pout house' and I've been through many a battle so I have one of those necklaces so I can just push the button.:lol:


Seriously, if I told her it was something I really wanted to do she wouldn't have a problem with it. The thing is we have been trying to sell our house in the country and buy closer to the city and that money would come from our savings for a new place.

Skip the project Vette, get the house. There will always be more project Vettes....especially C4's.....in the future.
