1975 corvette stingray with t-tops,strong newer 350 engine,good transmission/rearend,,all gages work, good wheels/tires..interior needs door panels/carpet /seatcovers,exterior needs front/rear bumper covers /a paint job,car needs total restoration.frame rails are bad(ive seen complete frames sell on ebay for $800).i purchased this car with intentions of restoring it, frame work is more than my capability.. . $2500 firm takes it..car located in frankfort, IN ..email me at rgates61@sbcglobal.net (rgates61@sbcglobal.net) for several pictures

Any pics? If you want to sell a car, get the pics up dude.

hmmm, needs quite a bit of work. and ive seen vettes in much better condition than that go for about a grand more.

Better hurry and go buy them before they are gone

Average shape, restorable just all the fiberglass is shot which will cost a few grand but is fixable. What is with the frame worK?

Frame rails are bad....fiberglass isnt that bad..needs front/rear bumper covers...has some paint chipping...i drove this car 120 miles at 70 mph on the interstate to get it home when i bought it for $3000...of course i didnt know about the frame problem at that time or i wouldnt have done that.

haha, reminds me of project stinkray on the power block..

I wouldnt invest 2700 in that, it needs alot more than 2700 worth of repair, not worth it to me...

then again im a 17 yr old working my ass off for 7/hour...

yea, seriously.

7 dollars an hour? whats the minimum wage where your at? in washington its like, 7.50 or something.

and yea, i know 50 cents isnt allot, but it adds up.

One day that Stingray will turn into a streamlined butterfly.

This is a Sports Car Forum, not Auto Trader... lol. j/k, not a bad project for someone that likes Vettes that much

I wouldn't mind doing it, take me a few weeks and just give it to my sister but I don't have the time right now.. For further notice when you buy a sports car always look under the car. How are the suspension pieces.. I have a buddy who likes old vettes. If I were you, I would just buy some aircraft steel and learn how to weld, fix the car and then sell it for 15-25 grand. I have a 1950 Fleetline I may or may not fix I just need the steel, a roof, and glass.

Tom, nice job on the stang....boy these guys play hardball on here...least im not trying to sell it without telling anyone like the gal i bought it from(i think i was to mesmerized by her RACK and i should have been looking under this thing...lol......anyways heres the update on the vette....been swamped with emails on this car seems there is alot of interest in a car that has a bad frame...as of today(sunday) ive had 3 offers...highest is $2300.......and i will sell this car to the first person with $2500 cash

I just happened to have a coppy of vette-n-vestments price guide sitting within arms reach as I read this thread. A 1975 corvette in number 4 condition (in need of full restoration) is base valued at $5,600 for a t top model. Corvette magazine has listings for a couple of different companies that make replacement and custom frames for C3 vettes, and even one company that will build a new Z06 chassis to go under your old body.
This car had a 7% gain in value last year alone, but is one of the lowest valued corvettes on the market. It is a great platform for someone looking for a hobby car
There are better deals out there though. I bought my 81 last summer for $2,500 cash. It needed a new battery, gas, and a new front tire to be driveable.
