Folks Of Interest Does this sad Corvette belong to a member here?

Fiberglas has no scrap value, they’d have to pay you to take it

 

I know the Dude you're talkin' about and you're right! I think I'd be puttin' a few more in there!!! LMAO!!!

 

I'm saying if it was my car, I would already have the nose off and sourcing parts. And don't involve the insurance company, lick your wounds and make it great again!

 

Insurance wouldn’t get it.
We’d work out a deal.
I’d be looking for some quad headlights
And chrome steelies
Maybe some old school hydraulics

 

Deal yes, but no "Salvaged Title". Makes them hard to sell. I bet half the vettes at BJ have had a nose job over the decades. Two of mine did. I wrecked em, I fixed em.

 

I love those salvage titles.
As long as it’s not parts only
Put a lot of miles on junk title rides.
But in bama, all I need is a bill of sale
All my beaters are bill of sale rides

 

Well, a good police friend to sign off on a vin verification.
the big ole smile helps at our dmv.
Took about 15 minutes to get a tag on one I drug out of a field that set nearly 50 years.
Big ole cheesy smile time

 

This would be perfect , I would leave it as is and fix the body just enough to make it drivable , while repairing all the mechanicals . Maybe a big block and a blower sticking out of the hood or something “ vette purist cringe worthy ) Thumb my nose at the vette purists with my burned out post apocalyptic mad max vette !!

 

OK

 

Bet I could build some skirts to fit it.

 

Are we talking clutch on the blower pulley? Don't tease me!

 

I wouldn't want it, the burnt car smell is terrible

 

Good thing my sniffer doesn’t work
Dan

 

So you are saying it would take $375,000.00 in labor alone to fix that? Typical high end shop rate that I have seen is $125.00 -150.00. Who the world is charging $250.00 an hour? Last I checked a complete pre assembled concours C-1 Corvette nose was about $10,000

 

..........

 

I hate every one of these cars.

 

decoration for ya BILLY

 

Perfect gasser material.

I don't ever want to see that quad headlight crap again....

 

I would be far more concerned with the fire extinguisher coming lose bouncing around inside the car or becoming projectiles in the event accident.

When I have done Tech-Inspecting for my vintage stock car club, I have made people remove fire extinguishers, in fact many oval tracks have outlawed fire extinguishers inside cars.
If anyone runs a fire suppression system the bottle must be permanently mounted to the chassis with hard lines.

 

Gasser?

I believe you mean Modified Sportscar

 

The “Carolina squat” with skinny front tires

 

Take a deep breath Robert... It's OK. It was a JOKE!!! Jeez!
Lighten up Francis...

 

well... it will be a worthwhile project for somebody.

with a needing a new engine and all... I think I would go with a stock look but modified engine.

 

I bet I could fit a bench seat in it.

 

Yes .

Yes .
Maybe not as a restored 100 point car car but a lot of potental still there . A front clip and it would look a whole lot better .

how the fire wall and cowl is would a bigger concern looks like it might have burn through the fire wall . The heater is right there were it burnt as well .

Battery is about were that fire started mounted on the frame so is the starter .

I almost had mine burn down about 35 years ago from a electrical fire I was able to get he battery cable off in time burnt my hand doing it .

I'd love to have whats left of it for parts for mine . Burnt its more original than my POS please excuse the non HAMB wheels I have a set of real magnesium Americans going on i View attachment 5994328 t soon I promise

 

And a hemi!

 

I’ll have one gasser one bourbon I mean one custom……. I think that was a song
Dan

 

As long as the car sits about 4 inches off the ground I don’t care what makes it go
Slant 6 would work for me
