[lwkitt427]

HEY GUYS I KNOW IT WILL BE HARD TO GIVE ME YOUR THOUGHTS WITH OUT SEEING PIC,S OF THE CAR, BUT HERE GOES I AM CHASEING WHAT MAY BE A REAL 1969 CORVETTE L89 CAR WE ALL KNOW THAT MEANS 427-435 HP WITH ALUM HEADS, CAR WILL NEED A COMEPELTTE RESTO, COLORS ARE FATHOM GREEN / BLACK INT 4 SP CAR. CORVETTE BLACK BOOK SAYS ONLY 390 MADE. IF THE TANK STICKER IS THERE AND IT IS REAL NUMBERS MATCHING. CAN YOU GUYS GIVE ANY IDEA WHAT THE VALUE MAY BE
THANKS

Restoration will push $100,000, so work backwards from that. Only approach it if you love it, I love Fathom Green, but it's not the strongest color from a $$$ standpoint. I'd be hesitant to go over $50,000 even if it's the original motor with paperwork if it's really rough.

I HAVE NOT HAD SEEN THE CAR IN 15 YRS, BUT I AM IN TOUCH WITH A CLOSE FREIND OF HIS. AND HE IS NOW HAVEING SOME MONEY PROBLEMS. THE STORY GOES THAT IS DAD BOUGHT THE CAR IN 1970 AND GAVE IT TO THE SON IN 1974 OR 1976. I KNOW THE THAT THE INT WAS CUSTOMIZED IN THE 70,S DIAMOND TUCK ETC. BUT I HOPE TO KNOW BY THE END OF THE WEEK IF WANTS TO SELL. AND YES I WILL CHECK ALL THE NUMBERS AND YES THE TANK STICKER MUST BE THERE OR I AM NOT IN THE MARKET. I HAVE HAD A 1969 LEMANS BLUE 427-400 HP WITH MANY OPTIONS P/S P/B A/C 4 SP FACTORY SIDE PIPES. I DO NOT CARE FOR THE WAY THE SEATS FEEL COMPARED TO A MIDYEAR. SO IF I AM ABLE TO MAKE THE PURCHASE AND THE CAR IS REAL? I WILL BE LOOKING TO SELL IT OR TRADE IT FOR SOMETHING ELSE. BUT IF IT IS A REAL L89 CAR THEN I FEEL SOMEONE SHOULD RESTORE HER BEING THAT THERE IS ONLY 390 MADE. I WILL KEEP EVERY ONE UPDATED
THANKS FOR THE INPUT
