Im going to go look at it. I looked at pictures on the net of the rot and Im going to look for it. Im not going to keep it just resell it for a profit I hope. I have $3250.00 in my truck as it sets so Im bound to make money on it

Heh... sounds kinda like our trucks too (let alone that could be any car) so I don't see where that point has any weight. I love the stingray body style, and thats about it as far as vettes go. My father has a beautiful 74 vette that is a custom orange with metallic, and you can bet that everywhere you drive that car, you turn everyones head. Haha, I actually got pissed the one day when we were at a car show together and I was showing my 66 stang. The mustang would attract all the older ladies while the vette attracted all the younger women. I told my father ... woah woah woah... whats wrong with this picture. It should be the other way around here, ill trade you for the corvette. lol, obviously didn't trade me, but I did trade the mustang for the truck and thats how I came about on this website. Judging that you only have 3250 into the truck, I really can't see you going wrong with trading it assuming everything checks out good when you look at it. If your on the fence, then ask yourself... how many miles do you have on your truck, how much longer do you think your trans will hold up if it hasn't been replaced, has the plenum issue been taken care of etc. Keep us posted

 

Thanks for all that info. He says its a 4 speed and it has roll down windows, I have looked on craigs list and cant find hardly any under 6 to 17 k for the price. that looks decent. Gonna call him in morning a gain and find out more about it.its a 2 hour drive for me but I think I owe myself to look at it.

I have to ask, how did this whole ordeal arise?

 

Living in LA where seeing a Testarossa or a Lamborghini is a commonplace, almost daily occurrence, Corvettes just don't raise too much interest around here.

I guess if all you want to do is flip it and pocket the cas, then it might be a good idea, but you have to wonder why anyone would trade a valuable car for a run-of-the-mill pickup truck. Call me a suspicious cynic, but something smells rotten in Denmark.

 

I agree with Miami, if its to good to be true it usually is...fiberglass can hide alot of damage.

 

i've been drooling over the 73 corvettes for years, but i love my truck. that would be a hard decision to make. but you can always get another ram for under 6k just about anywhere and a vette that old in good shape isn't very common.

and i see where laramie is coming from about the snow deal. my camaro doesn't like to keep the rear end lined up with the front in rain, much less snow/ice and i believe a vette has a lighter rear end with much more power so it would be a fishtailing beast on anything other than clean dry pavement.
