I don't know if I want to go near it since the article states the vette hasn't been touched in 30 years. I'm wondering how much oxidation is present in the motor/tranny/diffs. Original oil and all???? The body and hardware must be cherry, but the mechanical components, well, I'll be weary about it.

Jeez! He couldn't start it ever so often??? That's nuts. Unless you store cars in a vacuum, you can't expect the rest of it to be in mint condition.

Too bad it's one of the weenie era Vettes sporting only 200hp with an optional 220hp engine available.

Exactly. Seems like neglect more than preservation.

Still even in the condition its in, ie: everything mechanical. Not a bad investment if he thinks he can still get 50k out of it... All he has to do is find someone that want's it bad enough.

What I want to know is what in the hell was the guy's reasoning for putting it away with 13 miles on it? I can't believe that, I think he rolled the odometer over.
