typhoone Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 okay, I have 2 300zx's one with the motor out & one with a motor needing a rebuild. my dad has found a decent condition 85 Corvette for $2,000 and I have $1,000 in the bank. does anyone think it would be a good idea to sell my Z's to get the Vette? I am sure I could get at least $1,000-$1,500 for both plus my extra parts. does anyone else agree? please let me know what you think, better yet let me know if you want to buy them.

mikeatrpi Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 Well, I wouldn't do it. Closing down the bank account is never a good idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoov100 Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 $2k for a 85 vette seems like your walking into a money pit.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikelly Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 That's a risky proposition. The 84-87C4 was the worst production years of a platform that wasn't a great car to begin with. I'd do a LOT of research on the generation of Vette, and then get on Corvetteforum.com and ask a lot of questions in their C4 category. You might also pick Grumpy's brain here, as he's owned a number of them. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete84 Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 Is that a TPI or Cross Fire engine? I have heard nothing but horror stories on both. Just put a TBI manifold on it hah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwik240z Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 Excellent advice here! Walk away. I have to agree. I have never seen a Corvette in decent condition go for so cheap. I wouldn't waste my time. Stick with the Z cars or sell them and save up your money for a decent car. Don't wipe out the bank account. Whatever you buy will require some money beyond the purchase price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
