Euro Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 Today my dad and I stopped at the dealer where my car's at awaiting a rebuilt motor, we wanted to see if we could see it in the shop. We came up empty, couldn't see a damn thing. However, peeking through one of the garage door windows I see this.... Looks like it's been sitting there for a looooong time with all the dust and RR tire was pretty low, and obviously it was at one time on their lot for sale(this is a small Chevy/Pontiac/Cadillac dealer out at school). Tomorrow I'm going to pick up my rental car, and if I get a chance I'll find out why she's sitting here covered in dust!!! Or, at least I'll get you guys some details and a vin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 i spy red painted calipers. im betting it belongs to someone there who works on it when he can. looks very straight though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManicMechanic Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 It has a used car window sticker though...Perhaps the lot owner knows they are collectible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Euro Posted April 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 well I've been to this dealer a few times aside from my car situation and I've never seen it on their lot. But we'll see tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

93CutlassSupreme Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 Oftentimes dealers will have cool cars packed away somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euro Posted April 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 Oftentimes dealers will have cool cars packed away somewhere. True. At the dealership behind my parents house they supposedly have an untitled 67 Corvette, and an untitled 78 Pace car vette Not sure if I'm going to be able to see this today, it might have to be tomorrow. Unless I get a call in the next half hour from the dealer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripp Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 I think that car was on ebay not to long ago. There was one with black belt mouldings just like that one has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManicMechanic Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 I don't remember that one...I've seen 3 though with the black mouldings...One is a red/graphite 1993 that was in NJ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaptnjack Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 excuse me...I dont mean to hijack this thread but....on the topic of the molding being discussed. What are these three pieces of molding called? Mine is broken into two pieces on the driver side and I need to look for a replacement....I just dont know what to ask for. Also...on the red car and possibly others with a black top....the balckout trim doesnt look too bad to me...... My car is white with a white top...if anybody knows a location on the trim or has some laying around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psych0matt Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 Good luck. My passenger side trim was broken and it took me about 2 years until a member in florida found a junker with that piece. However, I know Ken is about ready to part with one, so if that happens and he's not keeping that piece I'll tell him to part with it for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaptnjack Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 thanks Matt...that might help. I have been to six yards and havent seen a vert yet and only a few 2 doors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManicMechanic Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 I sold mine to 93LuminaZ34. But there's a black 1994 here in a yard with them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManicMechanic Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 Central Texas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaptnjack Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 Well....if I ever get this car home to look at closely...I may be able to remove the trim piece and gorrilla glue it back together using a supplement brace underneath then fill the crack, sand and repaint. Finding a cheap one wuld be easier laborwise ...but hard to find locally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
