Vette(s): Silver 1974 Convertible - L82 4 speed Low miles (was only 8,900 when I bought it in March 2006) - Now 54K miles. Original owner bought it as an investment for son's college expenses. 2008 Jetstream Blue Convertible

I'm surprised. Only $350,000 to open and no bids yet. Only 11 days left.

You may have to paste the link into your browser - been having trouble with getting the insert link button to work.

Not a fan of the graphics painted on the nose (or the dog peeing on the wheel in more than one of the pictures), but it does look well done. $350K? I don't think so.

I wanted a Corvette my whole life, but I never dreamed of all the wonderful people I would meet because of it!

The link werks fine....
Nice car, but I'm a little leery on the pedigree...might be all true, might not. If it IS an original, old skool car, then it has had some major upgrades over the years, including the late('79>) Shark seats, and the Spal fans. The rear of the thing just ain't right, either.. Ermm

Would I like to have it? "You betcha!!" For $350,000?!? No thanx. But I might consider it if he thru in the display dog that appears to either HATE the car, or has a bladder issue...

Vette(s): 1975 Stingray Nomad Wagon, with Daytona front, custom hood scoop, dual side vents; 420HP 350; Doug Nash 5 speed; 1980 rear end W/4:11 gears; Cherry Red metallic paint.

I dont doubt the pedigree, but it has been "changed" such as seats and rear window isnt the original style. May be from Silva, but to fetch that high price, it shouldnt have any changes. I just cant imagine that a car with original 34000 miles would have that many changes. Sure would love to have it, thou!

Vette(s): 2005 Daytona Sunset Orange Metallic Coupe --------------------- Sold 1974 T-top, 4 spd to BillKS

Really nice looking vette. I agree that they're asking way too much moola. As far as it being an original Silva car, maybe the dog is telling us something...
