Any reports on the auction in the Tulsa area this past Saturday?
I was there and wished I'd taken my camera so I could post photos of the '00011 '65 vert. that sold for $28K---without a title! Just my opinion, but I estimated that restoration would be $30K if one did all the work himself, to $60K if done by a restoration shop.
Saw a ton of C2/3 parts.
Poor buys (in my opinion),
1)C2 hard top missing parts and needing total restoration----$1,000.00
2)'65 FI unit w/distributor, welded up Plenum legs (ugly), unknown component condition, no air cleaner------$4,900.00
Possible good buys?
1)C2 FI distributors----$750.00 each (2)
2)One 391 head (k of 6)and one 208 head (E of 5)unknown condition----$1,800.00 (for the "set")
3)One 858 and three 840 heads--- $1,500.00 (all 4 heads)
4)'65 Vert. birdcage (rust free and appeared fairly straight)with ratty rear clip and partial front end -----$1,600.00
Good buys.
1) real '70 LS6 alternator-----$110.00 (not Corvette)
2) nos '69 small block side pipes---$170.00
3) '67 spare tire tub (nice condition)-----$60.00
4) '69 side pipe covers (pitted but restorable) with excellent insulators---$225.00
5) '69 t/t steering column w/wheel-----$450.00
6) 870 short block (A of '64---RE code) -----$50.00
7) Original mid year FI "S" tube----$60.00!!!!
Original midyear left side a/c duct (under dash, complete)----$60.00
9) '70 5 port wiper motor and pump----$20.00
10) rear ends, transmissions, trailing arms and assemblies, clutchs/flywheels, headers, air cleaners, exhaust manifolds, small block heads, emblems, wheel covers, trim rings, center caps, hoods, suspension components, gauges, bumpers, trim pieces, braces/brackets, wheels, a/c hard lines, starters, bell housings, etc., etc. were good buys if you had a use for them.
Love to hear from others who attended.
