$11k seems way cheap to me, but it also depends on several factors:

Originality is key. You said it's not the original engine, but is it the original color? Is it a desirable color? Monza Red-yes. Caramel Bronze-less so.

The word "restoration" means different things to different people. To some it's a thorough detail, and to others it's a full body-off rebuilding of the vehicle with tremendous attention to detail.

There were different options for the car and some while "rare" aren't really desirable and others are very sought after.

There's a publication called The Corvette Black Book. I highly recommend it as it has lots of information on available options and production numbers, etc.

My impression is it's a great time to buy a muscle car. Good Luck!

Wasatch;

Awesome info. I am a car guy from way back, but muscle cars can be hotrodded and still have value. However, vettes are like gto's documentation, options and originality are key to determining value.

The restoration was frame off - car has new body mounts, but wasnt done with meticulous care, it was a repair - make pretty, restoration to build a driver, not a showcar.

His asking price is 13.5k, my price where I dont think I'll get hurt is 11k.

Quick question. On Delta Net we used to have a sparkfly option for deals at Hilton and other hotel chains. also had rental cars, cruises, etc. can not find it. Only a employees "perks" section with not much in it.

Anyone have any gouge on where it is /went / or how to access it??

Thanks.

I flew with a former CVG 73N A, & he told me the -700(I think, or maybe a later model) has a problem with the 1st class lav lid staying up. He said whenever he went to hit the head he'd crank in some left rudder trim to keep the lid up. :D

Disregard. Working now. Slow hotel wireless. However, looking for a quick beach break. Any suggestions on interline options much appreciated.

Ha! Actually, the -700 and the new -800s lids stay up great. Its the older model -800s that you either have to put some trim in or do the kubuki dance with your knee to keep up. Its a hoot when you're in moderate chop.:D

FAA work FT/DT rules are set to change.

DALPA sends out message about how the rumors of rules changing for the worse are unfounded; that the PWA protects us from rules that would be disadvantageous to the pilot group.

Survey asks if you're open to changing PWA in regard to new FAA FT/DT rules.

Read between the lines: What are you willing to give up to keep PWA FT/DT as currently written now that FAA rules allow some to be relaxed?

Saw that too.

ALPA -

"We will make FT/DT better/safer"

"well, we didn't do that, but your contract still protects you"

Next coming when the contract heads south:

"You can always call in fatigued"

It's more fun to just spray all over the place and tell the FA that the last pax did it:)
