Default My old 87 c-4

it was amazing to get a pm from an old friend on her the other day that he seen my old 87 c-4. I took the time today to go look at it at palm motors in tallahassee.

Wow after everything we went thru( all the blood sweat and tears not to mention money we didnt have ) to see it just sitting there wasteing away. Even after everything we went thru with harwood we have never seen it looking so rough. just to see whats going on with it. i will call palm motors tomarrow and see what they are asking for it. it was in 100% running and driveing when we traded in. ( we regret doing it ) but i will let everyone know as soon as i find out. as i can not afford to buy it back. The wife and i were in tears to see it again but in such rough shape after everything we put into it. but i guess thats life. it nice to be back with you all.

the only thing it needed when we traded it was to have the ac charged. new engine, new tranny, all new lines and completely new cooling system. wow so disapointed.

Well, with the economy being like it has been for the last couple of years, a two seater Corvette likely is just a frivolous expense that a lot of people have put off lately. Plus a LOT of people mistakenly think the later model Corvettes are just gasoline hogs, so that would be a put off for a sale as well.

Well, maybe they will think it has been on their lot for too long and make you a sweet deal just to move it.

that's why i hate selling vehicles i "fix up" as i have done that with the last 3 vehicles i have sold or traded in and only 1 has remained as nice or is nicer now and the new owner talks with me regularly as he knew it was my baby. the other 2 i was glad to see go but regret it but it was the best for the family at the time.
