    Seller claims it to be very solid car w/clean interior as well as new GM 700 R4

    Doe's anyone know more about this CA car. I could use help making a buy decision from the right coast.

    Thanks, guys.

    Your best bet would be to contact a HET club member in the area or an inspection company to give it the once over. Either way, getting an objective opinion from either should be of help. Good luck.

    We considered this car a month or so ago but my buyer wanted something more stock. I wasn't particular on the "upgrades" as I like stock or very similar to stock. We also didn't like the new shifter coming up from the floor. Looks very solid. Buyer was looking for $26K or so. Car is about two hours from me. Niels

    A Very Nice Orig Coupe I Sold To Fred. He Insisted On Air Cond Living In Palm Sp And Went With The Chev Trans. It Is A Rust Free Great Car If You Can Live With The Shifter Sticking Out Of The Floorboards. Bill Albright

    Hi Bill, and thanks to both you and Neil.

    Bill "very nice original coupe" means what?

    Could you be more specific as to:

    Interior, headliner- dash, performance of engine & trans, Paint- SS chrome (pitted?) Running gear.

    Bill, Do you currently have a stepdown coupe for sale?

    Phil,



    My buyer was seriously looking at Club member's very nice 52 Club Coupe located in Central Cal. If interested, you can call me at (310) 502-5335 and I'll give you his name and phone number. It may still be forsale. Money was low 30's but we hadn't started to negotiate. Niels
