    I think we may have found a replacement but it still doesn't have a back seat.[ATTACH]01616_PVCNNPL5Tv_1200x900.jpg[/ATTACH][ATTACH]487_1496666214050.jpeg[/ATTACH][ATTACH]491_1496666219997.jpeg

    Money hasn't exchanged hands yet but we shook on it and they gave me the envelope full of receipts. What I know so far by the owners son (owner passed away) is that it's a superior glass works 34X31 (34 chevy standard on a 31 chevy frame) registered as a 1933 chevy (trying to get the 33CHEVY plates), corvette LT1 700R4 9" posi full leather interior, classic gauges, tilt A/C heat manual brakes and steering 4 wheel disk brakes. Ugly ass tail lights and a small fuel cell in the trunk that I'm not fond of but it sounds real nice. Again here we go with smooth doors and door shots (those pins that transfer power only when the door is closed) power windows too. It has hood sides too. No wiper and no radio. Wheels 17" front 18" rears. Drives real smooth and straight but does have a little vibration (Pretty sure its in the driveshaft probably universals). Some stone chips but overall not too bad. Damn things got some scoot to it I'll tell ya!!

    Thanks Ryan it may just be a flip though. Just curious what you think a car like this is worth...? Just want to see if I'm on the same page with other guys.

    Worth? Now there's an arguable concept that carries so many variables! The key is not what are guys asking for a car like this, but what are guys actually getting for any given car when the time comes that they simply can't, or don't want to hold on to it any longer. Anybody that tells you what it's worth, turn back to him and ask if he'll give that for it and see how quick the back pedaling starts. Just like this one, the guy that had it passed on, and now his wife & son are trying to turn the car into cash. I'd say Uncle Bob said it really well in his comment on your Timesaver Coupe thread....

    I'll chip in here and say that what it took to build the car and what it's worth are two entirely different things. The car is worth what someone is willing to pay for it. I hate to beat a dead horse and in many cases Barrett-Jackson is not a good barometer, but I have watched many cars go across the block and bring nowhere close to the build cost.
    I would say DA34GUY is the one to ask.

    Jim,
    I'd be asking myself, "If this car is worth more than I'm paying, why hasn't the seller found those buyer's? What do I know about the market that the seller doesn't seem to know?"
    Flipping cars for profit is a lot of fun, but there's a lot of potential for losing money, or having your money tied up longer than you want, especially if you're honest.

    Sign up to Mecum auctions, and take a look at past recent auctions in your area and it should give you a good idea (much better than Barrett Jackson) then if that sounds good to you, you can always put it in one of their auctions. My guess is whatever you have in a pile of parts is about what you can get for it, nix the labor. good luck

    The guys selling it have no clue. It was their fathers car, They are NOT car guys AT ALL! With things coming out of their mouths like " the number on the title is also on a little metal plate on, what is that called? A firewall?" I know in parts alone you couldn't build it for under $35K. They had it advertised with just one blurry picture of the engine compartment. So I had him send me some pictures and I was like...Wow I better jump on this. If I flip it, I know I wont get hurt.
