Euro Posted April 14, 2008 Report 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
Andrew Posted April 14, 2008 Report 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
ManicMechanic Posted April 14, 2008 Report Posted April 14, 2008 It has a used car window sticker though...Perhaps the lot owner knows they are collectible. Quote
theghoul Posted April 14, 2008 Report Posted April 14, 2008 Wow, I bet its super dusty inside. Lets hear the story behind it if you can find out. Quote
Addicted to eaton Posted April 14, 2008 Report Posted April 14, 2008 my trucked look liked that after about a week Quote
Euro Posted April 14, 2008 Author Report 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
slick Posted April 14, 2008 Report Posted April 14, 2008 Hell... even from the picture, the seals actually look good. Quote
93CutlassSupreme Posted April 14, 2008 Report Posted April 14, 2008 Oftentimes dealers will have cool cars packed away somewhere. Quote
Euro Posted April 14, 2008 Author Report 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
ripp Posted April 15, 2008 Report 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
ManicMechanic Posted April 15, 2008 Report 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
kaptnjack Posted April 17, 2008 Report 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
Psych0matt Posted April 17, 2008 Report 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
kaptnjack Posted April 19, 2008 Report 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
ManicMechanic Posted April 19, 2008 Report Posted April 19, 2008 I sold mine to 93LuminaZ34. But there's a black 1994 here in a yard with them... Quote
kaptnjack Posted April 21, 2008 Report 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
Euro Posted April 21, 2008 Author Report Posted April 21, 2008 thanks for HIJACKING MY THREAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! just kidding. I haven't actually been back to the dealer since I took that picture. When I get my car back this week I'll ask about it. Sooo carry on! Quote
kaptnjack Posted April 21, 2008 Report Posted April 21, 2008 sorry man...... I am a new first-time owner and trying to save one. I have a lot of questions and try to grab someones attention briefly when I can. I might be getting this one home this week if all goes well and will try to post a story and pics too. Quote
