Grape Ape Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Someone contacted me on the Corvette Forum and asked if I could look at this car for them. Just wondering if it belongs to anyone here before I send an email to them to set up an appointment. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Let me know... https://phoenix.craigslist.org/evl/cto/d/mesa-1998-chevy-corvette/7266087101.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P51tj Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Sorry don't know the car. Were those wheels offered in 98 since it is claimed to be original? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chameleon Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 I don't recognize the car. It says title is box C. That means the odometer mileage is not accurate. The car could have substantially more miles than stated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something about that price makes me question if there are seals needed or if that thing needs a clutch soon (probably). Both take MAJOR work, not minor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grape Ape Posted January 27, 2021 Author Share Posted January 27, 2021 Thanks for the comments. I would be looking elsewhere myself but I'll see what it's like and let them make their own decision. The '98's did have wagon wheels for sure. The odometer would make me shy away but this person asking says it's not a deal breaker for them, could be the reason it's so cheap. If the person that owns it responds to me then I'll see how it turns out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grape Ape Posted January 29, 2021 Author Share Posted January 29, 2021 Well, the car was speaking to me....someone test drove it today and now the owner says it won't go into gear. I informed the person that wanted me to look at it so most likely they'll pass on it. At least that was my opinion to them. See what they say.
