69 Corvette--feeler thread
After much deliberation and soul searching, I've realized that it might be wise for me to let someone else enjoy this Corvette. It was built with the intention of being a very fast track to that was also comfortable on the street...Well, as comfortable as a 50+ year old Corvette can be. Fast forward to today.. I'll probably never track it again. It's fun, fast and reliable. Turns very well. Pulls 6500 easily. Gets lots of attention everywhere. Before it wastes away or gets me in trouble on the street, I should probably sell/trade it. I have no idea what's its really worth. I know what I have in it. I know what first gen camaros sell for but there isn't much on C3 Corvettes like this. It does appear that there are lots being built.
Some details below:
Good original rust free frame and birdcage.
Van Steel Offset rear and tubular front arms.
SA Van STeel (QA1) shocks
13 in Wilwood front and rear
18x10 Rocket attacks with 285/35 nankangs
383 stroked in original block
Kevko RR oil pan
Performer RPM heads..and intake
ARH Stainless headers
custom 3 inch stainless exhaust with matched X-pipe to engine--not off the shelf
Borla XR-1s
MSD dist and 6AL
Holley Sniper for fuel and spark control
Tanks Inc
Tremec TKO-500 (Keisler)
Centerforce clutch
NEW Hydroboost
BeCool radiator and fans
Vintage Air
Recaros
Sony Bluetooth head unit with Morel and blaupunkt components
Autometer GPS speedo and tach
new dash pad and door panels
electric wiper conversion
vacuum headlights operate perfectly
Excellent paint Not 100% perfect as a show car but very nice.
Clean driver undercarriage.
What does the group think is a fair starting point for this? I'd also consider trading for something like a 66 Chevelle or 65/66 Impala. Something that's cool, reliable, but a little less edgy.
