    55 on e-bay

    I don't mean to be a poop but it's listed on e-bay as money back guarantee , under their sight it sells for $169,000.00 as number #514 but has many early parts in the engine area for a mid-late 55. Like the first design Carburetor when it should have the later one. Plus many repro parts and some wrong parts. This is why you cant trust it being a top flight Bloomington gold Corvette. You need to take a person that has owned a 55 for years.
    I even e-mailed them asking questions and but they dont respond -wonder why

    What about that generator adjusting brace Roy? Is that a real one or one from a pass car? I can't tell for sure from the picture.

        Who, me ?

        Yea, that belt looks a little funky. Generator is pulled all the way to the outer end of the adjustment slot.

            Yup, we can sure be a handful at times. Must be frustration from trying to drive with all those old geezers on the road. Makes me cranky and irritable.

                I've sure gotten old. I've had by-pass surgeries, hip replacements, even new knees. I'm half-blind and can't hear anything quieter than a jet engine. I take 40 different medications that make me dizzy, winded, and subject to blackouts. I can't remember if I'm 85 or 92, and have poor circulation; I hardly feel my hands and feet anymore. But thank God, I still have my Florida driver's license!

                        Roy, I saw on the C1Registry that your car was for sale. Do you have any flexibility on that price?
