No idea. But I can replace a wiring harness pretty easily.  I cannot easily fix body rot

Consider you’re going to pay at least $250 for new springs, plus 8-hours to replace all four corners, and that’s another $310. Then you’ve still got a wiring harness replacement, a door panel to replace / repair, and you’re looking at well over $500, and that’s if you can live with the ugly wheels and wrong fender.

A German wearing an SS badge?  Well, there’s no way that could be construed negatively.  

This is simply nonsense. You could very easily buy a comparable home to your parents generation and nearly any vehicle of your choice with a 100k+ salary. What you mean to say is you want something MUCH nicer than what your parents had that you’ve deluded yourself into thinking is comparable. The median home size in…

Yes, low six figures family here, certainly first world problems, have a nice home, reliable cars, and while a new car could be bought, it just seems like crazy money to me. We live pretty well because I do most everything myself, bathroom remodel, clutch replacement, yard, you name it. I don’t know how young couples…

I thought I was a failure for going to a cheap state college (really uncool, seemed poor, low status, etc...). Then I graduated debt free, bought my first house at age 23, and a brand new car a few years later. I have co-workers with equivalent educations, career, and salary that will be working second jobs to pay off…

I’d be happy to leave the workforce if I could be assured we’d have health care in our dotage.

Jesus, don’t tell them to major in graphic design.

financial responsibilities like mortgage, 401K, Roth IRA, 529, day care, insurances, house upkeep, then the bucket gets empty very quickly

“You have colleges still spinning the yarn that if you don’t get at least a Bachelor’s, you’re a loser, ...

who the hell keeps telling these kids that spending $50k per year to some tiny private school for some bullshit degree is a good investment?

“Your generation refused to leave the workforce,”

I’m sure that’s what it comes down to for him. He likes driving the car and doesn’t have that itch for the latest tech, so plopping a new engine in it makes sense. 

Not even that; these were some of the highest-production cars ever made. I bet you could find a good, low-mileage engine at a junkyard for $500. Do the labor yourself and it’s much, much cheaper than buying another car.

The engine for those Accords is more like 500 bucks. With shop work and stuff I really don’t expect it to exceed $2K.

Base price for one of these in good condition is right where he is. Add the options it does have including the knock offs the price jumps $12k. I get people don’t like it but if you offered someone $25k for something like this they’d laugh at you.

Yup. Outside of pineapples and lava rock, everything’s much more expensive in Hawaii, so if this price is within market on the mainland, it’s defiant NP there.

A quick trip to Hemmings and ClassicCars.com seems to indicate that this is a reasonable asking price for the least desirable set of options. Factor in that this is the only C2 Vette I saw offered in Hawaii (albeit a brief search), he’ll probably get close to his asking price.

This is NP in this condition and with this drive train, You aren’t really going to find anything nicer and unmolested for less unless it needs lots more work and much less presentable than this one. But then again, on Jalopnik the typical consensus is all Vette’s are CP, so it’s like talking to a wall.

Always wanted one of these because there’s something just RIGHT about those curves and rear window. And my ex- had the convertible version before she was my Mrs or my ex-. I suspect the mileage is accurate and this is a rarely-driven weekend car. Well-preserved and clean enough.
