[QUOTE="80Baby, post: 16255, member: 757"] One thing to consider is if there's a Corvette shop nearby, you could buy the car and flip it over to them. They'll pay more than $500.00 just to part it out. But then again, you need that shop nearby. Being that the car is 35 years old and sitting outside for the past 10, I must agree with other comments here... there's probably not much left of the frame. I'm currently restoring my second 1980 Vette. The car spent it's entire life on Vancouver Island before I bought it in 2009. The frame was wafer thin. Cost me $7200.00 to buy a used frame, have some minor weld repairs done to it and then powder coated. Sounds like this '75 won't be much of a driver; the ol' girl is ripe for a restoration. [/QUOTE]
