If the seller wants to give me more info on the VIN prefix, engine, and other little details, I am happy to try to figure out standard vs. deluxe ragtop production based on my spreadsheet. I may even have numbers on PW cars!


What was wrong with the VIN?

Found this 427/435 hp 68 Roadster along with a couple of extra parts recently about 20 miles from the shop. Been sitting in this exact location for 17 years and has not been moved or started in that time. The husband passed away just after the restoration was completed 17 years ago and here it sits. Unfortunately, they are just not worth that much money. I need to make sure there is no antifreeze in the engine and that it still turns over. Shame.

A red/red 427/435, wow. Thanks for the pictures.

chevyman0429 06-07-2017 06:39 PM

I sold one of those 10 - 15 years ago. Not a tri-power, but excellent condition and original paint with the removable hard top. It made me sick what it brought... I think that one with the trips will do a touch better though lol. My father still has a 69 tripower Vette. She's a beaut. Thanks for posting that one.

If that red/red 435 Corvette roadster was a 1967 version it would be worth 250K.

If that Red/Red 435 Roadster was a '67 I would be posting these photos showing off my new acquisition! ;)

DW31S 06-08-2017 02:31 PM

I personally like '68s. They aren't like having the plague, but not everyone feels as I do. I like the look of "no mud flaps". Rick, just curious, is that '68 for sale and if so, how much?

SS427 06-08-2017 02:37 PM

I offered $30k as it sits not knowing if there is any engine damage from sitting. Car would need to be completely gone over again and some of the bodywork was not the best. They are considering my offer.

Something I have noticed. Depending on your OS will determine the orientation of the photos. Ones I corrected for someone yesterday were sideways on my phone but on pc they were correct as how I posted them. Not only do you rarely see 68's but even less verts.

volquartsen 06-08-2017 06:03 PM

Yeah, big block 4 speed also!!

luzl78 06-10-2017 12:38 AM

Could be a 3 speed

I saw this sitting at the local transmission shop today. Cragars were pitted and look like it had a lot of Bondo in it

ZLP955 06-12-2017 12:03 AM

How much was the asking price on the windshield Bill? Can't quite make it out.....

Billohio 06-12-2017 03:09 AM

I think it was a phone number. I saw the holes and putty and didn't look real close. I go by there some and will look. Probably way more than its worth around here. I am still kicking myself for this story, The Local body man had bought a 56 Chevy with no engine or transmission from a self storage place. They assumed the guy died so they sold his stuff. The car had no title. It had Florida tags in the trunk, a pretty poor rough paint job but that car was virtually rust-free. The no tags and who knew what happened to the owner really bother me.

ZLP955 06-12-2017 04:05 AM

No worries, thanks Bill. I've always wanted a '57 to take to the track, but the prices are so high (especially down here) that I'd have to start with a 'roughie' and then invest the $ as time - and the Camaro- permits......
Those storage auctions are sadly all too common - miss a couple of payments and you're lucky if they even try contacting you before they sell it off.

So I try to do a monthly YouTube series on my adventures. Been doing it for around 3 years. Thought you guys might like it. Some rare stuff I've posted and tons of rare stuff ahead.

Just did a new video yesterday on a 68 Hemi GTX Barn Find that was rescued, and a yard full of other Mopars.

McCune 12-10-2017 02:53 PM

That 70 Chevelle is a 350 HP 396 4 speed with the CTX engine still present. It has been sitting a long time. PM me with what you may have heard.

70 Boss 302 sitting in this same spot since 1987 and parked here as a running/driving car. Current owner is #3 having bought it from his cousin in 1978. I remember well when this car was roadworthy and pristine in the 80-84 time frame. Original Grabber Blue/shaker/spoiler/rear slat car and has original paperwork when sold new. Note the FoMoCo tag on the original Holley...

Here's a few...70 Formula has 46,000 miles on it, the Jags are very cool and the Cadillac is a vert.

I've been trying to buy the property & contents for years but the owner is a recluse and very hard to pin down on anything even if you can get him to talk to you.

It is crazy how people with just let things sit and rot a way. Doesn't make sense to me.

Someday I'm gonna' ... that is the thought process many have and "someday" never comes ... TAZ

The guy never worked a day in his life, inherited everything and spends most of his time chemically balancing himself. Not sure he even knows what he has or cares but will not let it go.
