L88 Vette on Ebay

From the looks of that palatial estate the only thing you'll probably find in the garage is the missing Genovese family mobster Vinny "The Fish" Cafaro

Maybe Jimmy Hoffa?

exactly...been many good cars unearthed like this, as we all know the people who leave decent cars like this outside for years love them but dont have a clue on how to care for the stuff...I know if I lived within driving distance I would have allready been there.

Looking at this auction brings me back about 7 years ago.
Also - to Long Island. I had a client at the time who ownd several
"special" Ford high performance cars including a 289 Cobra,
a 427 Cobra and two original GT40's. These of course were
all parked in his garage. However, outside in the tall
grass ( rusting away ) was a 1970 428 Super Cobra Jet Cougar.
The owner drove past it every day and was un-moved
about its condition. Finally, a house painter working on
the estate next door spotted the Cougar and rescued it.
According to my client, the painter never did make full
payment on the car - but took delivery anyway.

So - perhaps the L-88 in question is the bottom of the barrel for
its current owner. Wish I had a spare $30,000.00
so I could get this baby ( if real - that is ).

What do ya'll think market is on a project like this (assuming it is real, complete, and matching numbers)? 75k 100k 150k?
What does a Neighbor's brothers resto cost now days?
100k?

IF that is an L88 sitting outside......What is in that garage? If I was closer to NY I be looking to find out.

Probably a bunch of junk worth less than one percent of what the car is worth!

But seriously, I'd love to hear a report from someone local that could check it out!

Besides having the hp wrong - he is showing it as an automatic - what were there 3 L-88 auto's produced?
I have sent the seller an E-bay question for his address to go and see it. Let's see if he ever responds!

I would say market for this car with docs would be 175-200K to assume discription is correct. Highly doubtful though.
Nabors would probably be around 100 although I do not know from experience.
