Hi All.
I was planning on returning soon (more on that later) but here's a good excuse to pop up already.
I have a buddy of mine that wants to buy a corvette. Most preferably with chrome bumper; so pre-73? This is what he's looking at. I agreed to go with him to advise and visit.

My concern is it is sold for 15,000 (less than posted) but without a registration. Apparently it's in great condition and runs well. BUT the gear box is broken.
It also has a roots and the guy claims it produces 400 ponies.
I ralize we will have to inspect for rust but I'm a little concerned about the fact that he sealed off the lights and moved them below... that he raced this and he also said the electrical needs looking at.
Is it possible to twist the frame on a corvette? I'm not too sure I like the idea of buying something you can't test drive.
Run? 15k reasonable? Or offer 10k?
Thanksssss
