am i nuts?
 

i recently traded my 2005 c6 corvette convertible(all options..12.000 miles) for a 68 camaro rs/ss...sight unseen still havent seen the car....waiting for my title to be delivered
the ebay auction item number is: 220480545762
cant get the link to upload

am i crazy?

thanks.....bohuntr

You realize its a clone right? Not cazy but if you did not have someone check it out I would say not very bright. Restoration can photo real well but look like crap up close. Whats with muffler clamp all over the place, Who builds a car like that and has 6 muffler clamps on each side. All that work and not to paint the heads of the bolts?

I wish you luck and hope you are happy with it but IMO its a huge roll of the dice.

its gonna be a work in progress anyway...i can turn a wrench on a 68.....not so easy to work on the vette... wasnt looking for a true reproduction....always wanted a 68(born in that year)....

im new to the forum and appreciate any and all advice

thanks,bohuntr

I wouldn't say crazy. i would love a 1st gen.
especially a 69. (Still looking for one)

wow...hey if your happy with your trade then no you are not crazy. Looks like a very nice 1st gen.

thanks guys...i'll be updating the progress with the car....the one thing i do wanna sell off of it are the wheels and tires....i don't know what they are worth...and i'm gonna eventually sell the engine also(LS3 or LS7 swap)

thanks

The wheels are repops, They can be purchased new so figuring what they are worth should be easy. You should be able to get 70% of what a new one costs. The worth of the motor will be related to the numbers on it.

which numbers do i look for.(locations on engine)..is there anything to dissasemble to see them?

thanks,bohuntr

I think the car looks like a great example of good work. If you won't miss your vette, I know I wouldn't, then the deal is a good one.

I think you got yourself a nice ride there dude. I bet you will miss your Vett though.
