Rear end is a 3.07 Dana 44 out of a '80 vette. It was rebuilt 3 yrs. ago. Pinion seal has a small leak. I've redone the seal again, but it still seeps a little.

Tires are 2 yr old. P255/60R15 BFGoodrich Radial T/A's. Wheels are 15x8 chrome rally's by Wheel Vintiques.

2 things don't work. Horn. Power Antenna.

I have $19,000 invested not counting my labor. $15,000 firm isn't unreasonable for a car 99% done I don't think. I can funish pics or more info upon request.

And the reason I'm selling the car is it time for a different C3. The project was fun, it kept me out of the bars after my divorce a few years ago, but it's time to move on. I really want a '73 coupe 454 - 4 spd. for my next C3. I think it's a very unique year.

Sarge,
Good luck with the sale. I can verify it is a great looking ride.
When I saw this thread, I couldn't believe you were selling her, but like you say, it's a project and it's time to move on.
You've got a great touring Vette with Michele's, so a '73 would be a good choice.
$15K is a great value for that Vette.

Darryl,

Good Luck also in selling your vette.   

I can also vouch for Sarge's '81 - she's a beauty...!!!  Hope she finds a good home.

And good luck on finding a good '73 project.  I KNOW it will be a screamer by the time you get done with it...!!!     

Thanks fella's!

Just a little FYI for perspective buyers. I will be out of town and at C3X for a few days. So if you don't hear from me right away I'll get get back to you Monday night.

Thanks, Sarge

One more vote to say the car is well worth it.

Sarge, 73 is my favorite year.
