With less than an hour remaining in the auction, I’ve reduced the reserve significantly. We aren’t there yet- but getting closer. Best of luck for those interested in this great Anniversary C3.

Good morning. With a little over 5 hours left in the auction, I’d like to thank everyone for their comments/questions, and bids. Car has had several thousand dollars worth of work done in the last 2 months. Fluids changed, rebuilt carb, painted, new dash, door panels, carpet, wrapped steering wheel, and brakes done up front,(stops on a dime). I’ll let everyone know within a few hours about lowering my reserve. I’ll be checking in periodically to answer all questions. Thanks again for a great auction week.

Good afternoon. Thank you for the bid. I drove My Vette to the body shop today- (Unlimited Auto Body in Phoenix). They will adjust the hood on Friday. Assuming car hits reserve, hood fitment will be much better for new owner but they said front sides of hood will sit a little below fenders. Definitely an improvement. Car ran beautifully today. I hope it goes to a new home that will enjoy it as I have.
BID: $8,000
Good evening. @BRADBRU- thank you for the comment. Agreed. I actually spoke with the shop today that did the work. This was not an inexpensive job. The car shows beautifully but the hood needs realignment. I will take it in tomorrow to address the issue and report back.
I would have to agree with William, something is off with the front end. The alignment with the hood, center and left front corner and the left headlight. You mentioned that you had the car repainted, if the shop took some things apart they might not have got the alignment right when putting things back. I would hope that is the issue, just some alignment tweeks. It also looks like the left passenger side interior had some work done? The screw for the bottom corner trim is laying in the back by the carpet pads. You should check with the shop that did the paint job, if they took it apart,l they may owe you some alignment work.
BID: $7,500
@William6100, I have not attempted to adjust the hood. All of the gaps on the car are excellent- with no sign of an accident. I’m sure a good body shop could make the adjustment. The car runs straight- shifts great through every gear and brakes as it should.
have you tried to adjust the hod where its way off front edge or is it a bad repair from a wreck??
