Linky: I'm sure an Oppo discount would apply...just saying.

What is that, like 20K USD?

Not sure what these go for anymore, I fear I’d need jorts, white sneakers, and a tucked-in T-shirt (the car is still cool, but the big fan demographic...well...)

Probably around that lol.

That's how my dad feels too. He's not into the Vette image anymore

Ok, tonight is “JJ doesn’t know his terminology” night. What’s a splinter?

Green C2's are the best C2's. Extra points for one of the best engines (SBC>BBC). This is pretty much my perfect C2, though I have to admit I'm more partial to the coupe vs the vert. But the verts are still exceptionally nice. GLWS

My dads first car was a sliver 64’. I sent it to him

18 years ownership? I am sure he is at least breaking even anyway.

Nah, he's only had it for 4 years

Nah, not for a C2 that can pull a broader demographic. Many members might not even care if it can fit their golf clubs!

How much for that cool antique truck in the background?

Have you told him that overlanding (read: dry camping) is a fad, but a corvette is forever?

Wow, what a neat car. Hope it sells quickly!

When I was a kid my dad had a 72 Stingray, so C3 gen, but it was in that same gorgeous green. Love the car and I hope he gets what hes asking for it.

If I could buy, this is the one I would want, with an auto of course.

Still breaking even? Tough time to sell a toy though.

Wow - just how I’d want it (high winding SB without finicky mechanical FI, 4 speed and a gorgeous green!)

Nice price too. I’d call but it says no low ballers and that rules me out...

Probably not for sale, it's at a swanky hotel as part of their decor

448HP? Am I wrong to wonder if that sounds... optimistic?

I know. He's going to have a JL Rubicon and a van he thinks

Are you American? It's like $20 for you

WilliamsSW > CarsofFortLangley - Oppo Forever
04/19/2020 at 22:25

I wish. It’s $50k, which is a very fair price but about $49k more than I can afford.

Good luck to him selling it quick!

So is he selling the Jeep or keeping it so you can go off-roading with him.

I’d rather the Corvette then an overlanding Sprinter...a Sprinter isn’t really a vehicle you could truly ‘ bond’ with to me, and that is a big part of cars in my eyes.

I also fear he won’t use his overlanding rig anywhere near as much as he thinks he will as he already has a J eep...

My friend and his dad went to CO to get a white C2 convertible with original paint about a year ago and drove it back. I don’t know what he paid for it, but he went all the way there so it must have been a decent price.
