Someone was trying to do some real hillbilly stuff with the fender flares. The owner claims it was in a climate controlled building since ‘81. Who cares. That 15 years before were a real hard ride. At least it looks like most of it is there.

Good evening.

Neil Armstrong is still alive at 82. I wonder if he is a FReeper...

End thread hijack attempt.

5.56mm

Used toilet paper from the 60s belonging to Neil Armstrong would probably bring serious money. The sky is the limit for this car.

The seller is going to have to add a few more things for sell if he wants Frank to bundle it.

Frank: “What would you have to have for something like this?”

Seller: “You mean this or something LIKE this.”

A quarter mil for a rusty ol' vette that Neil Armstrong leased for a year? LOL!

On a related note, did anyone ever buy the Chrysler 500 that Obama drove before he found it politically expedient to own a hybrid?

[smokingfrog]

My brother had a little bit later model kind of like that. I don’t remember that ram-air thingy on the hood though.

[Lazlo in PA]

The 300 never sold. The owner wanted 1 million. After Nov, it will be worth less than Blue Book.

Fiberglass rusts? We didn't cover that in culinary school.

The hood scoop was a first time option in '67. It didn't matter what engine you had, you could get it because it was an appearance option.

How can you tell from that photo? It just looks dusty to me.

The little known secret about Vettes is that they can be rust buckets and the buyer thinking it is a plastic car never bothers to look. There are all sorts of metal screws holding panels together and other structural pieces underneath that can be expensive to fix.

[JRandomFreeper]

I've have a brother that collects them and restores them. I'm aware. They don't rust like my 69' 240Z.

That front left corner took a good hit and it has the overall appearance of a beater. If it were a ‘67 Chevy II 4 door that was originally owned by Neil Friedricks, it would be a $200 parts car. That is going to be a very expensive restoration.

What’s a VW thing once owned by Pia Zadora worth?

[smokingfrog]

I’d rather have Chuck Yeager’s mustang.

LOL

Last week I saw J. Geils 59 Gibson Les Paul on Ebay for $250,000 buy it now price.

A bargain for a 59.
