Not my normal kind of listing, but here goes! I came across a situation where an older gentleman was getting out of Auto Cross competition and was able to purchase everything out of his garage including this uncompleted 1986 Corvette convertible project. Stripped down, cleaned and painted and comes with a clear Florida title and VIN plate! No engine, obviously what you see pictured that is pertinent to this car is what you get.
To set this up for you, let me explain his situation. This was not some backyard hack shop. This fellow lived in a very high end, country club style community in a half a million dollar plus home. Worked out of his garage and this was his hobby for many years. Well, the years caught up with him and his is simply not able to auto cross anymore. A very nice gentleman, it was a little sad to see him have to get out of what he loved so much! Anyway, I purchased it all and hauled everything out of his garage. His wife had a big smile on her face! I put everything together in two separate listings, this 1986 Vette convertible and check out my other listing on a 2002 Corvette Z06! I tried to picture everything included as best I can so you can see what is all there. This is not a project for the faint of heart! It will take a lot to get it going, but you have an excellent foundation to start with. Obviously, you will have to come pick it all up with a flat bed trailer and a pickup truck. No shipping is available at all with this listing. I have limited time for the storage and it needs to be up and gone by the first part of December. Please look over all the pictures to see what is here. I would request you just ask important questions that are relevant to you purchasing or not. I have about a 45 minute drive to where its all stored in Naples and I really don’t have time to answer “looky loo” or dreamers questions. Thank you for your understanding!!! Selling it all for no reserve and PLEASE only bid if you are a serious buyer. No sense wasting all of our time! This will be sold as ‘title only”, obviously no registration or tag will be issued by my dealership! Thank you for your interest and good luck bidding!! One of the great things is all the greasy work is done! When we moved all this stuff out of the owners garage, we barely got our hands dirty! Cleaned and painted, ready for the final build! The fellow did remove the windshield posts, wanted to race an open roadster. Lot’s of valuable parts to help you complete this project or for anything else you would like to put a wrench to! Still has the VIN plate and the matching Florida title! Racing seat along with seat belts! 6-Speed transmission! This alone is worth around $1500.00! Well, that's the project! You can always bid with confidence on any of my offerings as I strive very hard to offer quality along with an honest description. I have literally sold hundreds of cars and trucks here on eBay and built a very strong feedback rating, so you can feel comfortable with whom you are dealing. If you have any questions or concerns about anything at all, I am always just a phone call away. My cell number is 239-940-4170 and I have it on Monday through Saturday from morning until late at night. PLEASE feel free to give me a ring! I thank you for your interest! Bidding/Buying Policies The advertised vehicle will be described as accurately as I can, but remember these are used vehicles, they will show signs as such. As stated before, each offering is checked over and inspected before selling, but you are not bidding on nor am I selling new or high priced certified pre-owned cars, so there may be parts of the vehicle that are not like new. Depending on the age of the vehicle, the various systems involved will be at different levels of wear/service life and there may be the typical small chips/dings, blems and other signs of normal wear, inside and out, that you would expect on used vehicles. Obviously, I cannot possibly show or detail every little thing that would be on any used car. I will do my best to describe all the major things so you are clear on what you are buying, but I encourage you to call with any questions you may have before bidding. I want you to be well informed! You can always get ahold of me on my cell @ 239-940-4170. I will be more than glad to walk around the car while on the phone and describe everything I see to give you a hands on view. PLEASE READ MY FEEDBACK! It speaks volumes of how I do business! Of course, all vehicles are sold "as-is" with no warranty expressed or implied unless there is any remaining factory warranty. Cars are mechanical things and mechanical things can stop working! Especially electrical components. Like a light bulb, they can work perfectly, than all of a sudden, not! I am not responsible for check engine, service or other indicator lights or what ever else may stop working after you purchase. I have made all my history statements based on information readily available to me and cannot warrant or guarantee the information or statements as such. Also, there may or may not be extra keys, manuals, remote fobs or other accessories. If not pictured, it's probably not there. I ask that all successful bidders please contact me within 24 hours of auction end to begin process of completing the sale. Customer is responsible to obtain their own insurance on any vehicle purchased. Insurance is provided by the transport company for all vehicles during shipping, but my insurance ceases to cover anything once it is sold. Sold being described as when funds are received in full, not at the time the vehicle is delivered. According to Federal guidelines, all vehicles 10 or more years old are sold exempt from mileage guarantees unless specifically mentioned. If I have documentation to back up the mileage on these older cars, I will. Payment must be made by cash-in-person, cashiers check, money order or bank to bank wire transfer. A $500.00 non-refundable deposit will be expected within 3-5 days following close of auction and remainder paid within 7-10 days. If you have a special situation, please feel free to call ahead of time to discuss. I am very easy to deal with! Florida residents must include 6% sales tax. According to Florida law, if an out of state purchaser takes delivery of a vehicle in the state of Florida I am obligated as a licensed dealer to collect sales tax at a rate equal to the purchasers state sales tax and not to exceed 6%. The purchaser will then be given a notarized form from the State of Florida proving tax paid to present to their tax collectors office for sales tax credit. You DO NOT pay sales tax twice! Any additional fees or taxes will be the responsibility of the purchaser. This does not apply to vehicles shipped out of state, only ones picked up in Florida. Buyer assumes the cost and responsibility of shipping. I already have contacts to ship the vehicle anywhere in the USA, so I can help arrange this for you and give you cost estimate ahead of time. If you are going to fly in and drive home, I will gladly pick you up from the Ft. Myers International Airport and provide you with a free 30 day temporary plate for your vehicle. You must have insurance before a temporary plate can be issued. Temporary plates are not provided for vehicles shipped, only ones picked up in person. All vehicles do have clear titles and are guaranteed to be clean and free of any liens or brands such as salvage or rebuilt. Occasionally, a title will be in transit from the bank or dealership because of a loan payoff and may not be in my immediate possession, but will be processed to you as soon as physically possible. Any buyer with a negative rating will be ignored unless he contacts me first with a good explanation. There is no sense in running up the prices by people who have problems following through with commitments. Remember you are entering into a legally binding contract. By the bidding and/or purchase of this vehicle, buyer obligates him or her self to agree with all guidelines and statements made on this auction page by the seller including "as-is" no warranty statements, sales tax regulations, and insurance requirements. My promise to you is to be as fair, honest and helpful as possible. I have been in the car business for a long time and have enjoyed much success here locally and selling on E-Bay. That did not come about by mistreating my customers or underhanded dealings. Give me a try and you will be pleasantly surprised. You can e-mail me with any questions or feel free to give me a call on my mobile phone @ 239-940-4170. Thank you again! Edward Zarick 239-940-4170 |
