If it is as original as stated, every single brake componernt is toast if it sat that long. Rear berings will be rust pitted on the top side too most likely. U joints would be really stiff too. Every piece of rubber, weatherstrip, etc would need to be changed out. Light retractors rebuilt and on and on it goes.

A friend sold his 72 SB 4spd ragtop for 18 this past summer after spending 25 on it 3 yrs earlier.

Its a real tough market for post 60's sbc C3 cars right now.

You are prerty much correct in all your assumptions, but I`m sure that its more than worth saving. Someone said before that these cars are going for aroud 25k nicely redone and I belive this is accurate. The brakes, carb, rubber componants definately need changing. The iterior is suprisingly nice. I`ve done a couple Camaros in the past and this is a much nicer candidate for resto. Plus a war bonnet vert is cool ass hell.

And that someone that knows there away around a garage. Gotta love that war bonnet yellow.

The pictures are somewhat misleading, the exhauste is shot of course. I got under the car with a wire wheel and the frame is actually excellent. The motor is running and idleing now, the video was the first time I tryed to fire it up. $1500 and it could be a driver. Certainly worth doing. This from a guy who`s done this a few times.

What are you looking to trade for? Are you willing to kick some boot? Maybe a multiple or 2
more than the vette?
