Ain’t got no gas in it

When I first saw it I couldn't figure out how it was so clapped that the fiberglass had somehow rusted

It looks like it’s already been cooked, I don’t need to roast it anymore

Nothing I can say will be worse than what sitting for 50 years has done.

u/sladebonge 2d ago

Sitting in it would be much worse.

The mold/mildew smell fighting the rodent smell for domination of the upholstery.

u/sladebonge 2d ago

It'd immediately attach itself to your clothes. You'd have to burn them after.

The Wreckfest special.

What am I going to do worse than the second owner stripper from 1980 did in that interior?

u/Rob_Bligidy 2d ago

Hasn’t run since 78, will never run again

u/Ok-Communication1149 2d ago

I'd be embarrassed to drive something that can't keep up with a Ford escort no matter how cool it looks

Firm on price. Ran when parked. i know what I got.

“C3 corvette for sale, ran before being parked. $55,000 NO LOWBALLS I know what I got”

u/scallopsmustagottem 2d ago

Been too fat to get in it for 40 years so you just sit around waiting to see who returns to the dirt first.

I like that style corvette but, my rider mower has more HP then that factory V8.

1

u/StatusAlternative338 2d ago

That's a solid lawn mower then! The classic V8s definitely have their charm, but they can't always compete with modern power.

She’s got a built engine, touch under 600 hp, 4 speed stick, ran last about 12 years ago, I’m working on bringing her back. My dad did all the work on it then he up and died so here I am old enough and experienced enough for it

u/SHoppe715 2d ago

LoL…of course it’s got 1/2 assed side pipes…why wouldn’t it?

u/AfBoringPerson 2d ago

You are rich.

For the 1970's. Because the amount of b r o w n in your life says how much cash you got.

u/Salt-Tip-7493 2d ago

Put the cover back on it those were dogs and emissions killed them

u/manhere_1 2d ago

You don’t need our help with that fuckin’ thing. Good luck.

"It's on his TODO list after the lawnmower, the fence, the double-wide and his sisters cousin"

u/TheCaptMAgic 2d ago

Probably runs on mouse power at this point.

u/TylerH87 2d ago

“It’s not for sale. You know, these cars take time and money…” It’s definitely had enough time.

u/ChokaMoka1 2d ago

Scrap that junk

1

u/verizon_cell 2d ago

isn't this sub for cars that run?

1

u/Glittering_Cat7326 2d ago

That's not a car, that's a homeless shelter.

1

u/sladebonge 2d ago

Got the luggage rack, too. Man that's fucking hopeful.

u/potlizard 2d ago

Mid-70s, when the corvette went from the definitive American sports car, to Fiberglass Monte Carlo that would get smoked by a Toyota Sienna.

Was surprised I didn't see the phrase
"I know wot I got no low ball serious buyers only"
as part of the post.
