You Pull and Pay salvage yard in Denver, CO State.
Project C3 indeed, not sure if they’re asking too much.

That’s how this happens…

My god that thing reminds me of superfastmatt’s off road viper.
Rent_a_Dad@reddit
Certified good enough
GunnerValentine@reddit
Shit and it's close to me... Ya'll might be looking at my next battlecar
Bubbly-Pirate-3311@reddit
Look if you want a c3, I'd offer them $1000. If you don't have time to do a "my summer car" then I would walk away
zagnuy@reddit
This car has summer parts. Summer there. Sum ain’t.
Bubbly-Pirate-3311@reddit
Amen bruther
CB1100Rider@reddit
lol is this a Corvette Summer reference where he will have to move to Las Vegas and hunt for his stolen Corvette for months?
Bubbly-Pirate-3311@reddit
No. My Summer Car. It's a game about assembling a car in Finland
CB1100Rider@reddit
This sounds awesome. Does it play off of the Finnish car culture that is really into old American stuff?
Bubbly-Pirate-3311@reddit
Sorta but not really. It's based in 1995, and you get a shitty old car that's completely disassembled in your driveway that you get to put together yourself. It's called a "Satsuma" but it's based on the Datsun 100a. There aren't very many drivable cars in the game because the main focus is building and driving your car, but the loaner car at the mechanic's shop is an old American muscle car. It's a really cool game but it is INFURIATING.
PhillGuy@reddit
Correction; Find is some of a Corvette C3.
CamaroIsHot-68@reddit (OP)
I did that to get people attention.
DefLeria@reddit
My dad bought and restored one of these (76 model) about 20 years ago. It had suspension but no engine/trans and the front body needed replacement. He calls it his $1500 gas cap, because that's the only part he didn't have to modify.
Haunting_Dragonfly_3@reddit
Plans for it?
Maybe if you had one that a tree, or house, fell on, and you HAD to have a 75...
Least desired years, 75-76-77. No way to ever make it worth what it would cost to finish.
Denver market is different, but in MI, rollers are in that range, and decent drivers $4-5k
C4s are dirt cheap, and ugly IMO, but arguably much better cars.

Imaginary_Rhubarb179@reddit
Clean title?
CamaroIsHot-68@reddit (OP)
All cars that they sale have a clean title.
Imaginary_Rhubarb179@reddit
I'd look at what a clean, complete '75 is going for right now. Then I'd look at what it would cost to aquire what's missing from this one (essentially everything but the shell). I strongly doubt this would be the better option
mondaymoderate@reddit
You can get them all day for under 10k. It’s not the most desirable corvette out there. You can find them for pretty cheap running and complete.
mini4x@reddit
The later the less they are worth, the only C3's that really carry any value are the metal bumper cars.
Fryphax@reddit
Not the option for someone wanting a stock car.
For someone building a purpose built race car, it could make sense.
i_got_a_rune_scimmy@reddit
If you were planning on a full frame resto-mod / drag car / off road corvette anyways that's actually not a horrible option.
C3's can be found dirt cheap around here but even at twice that price, half of the frames are rusted to the point of needing to replace entirely or (imho hack job) welding in reinforcements all over anyways.
mini4x@reddit
Considering you can buy a driving one for about $5k, This is only a deal if it were free.
LifeWithAdd@reddit
CB1100Rider@reddit
The front fell off.
Theseus-Paradox@reddit
That’s not very typical
thedirtydeetch@reddit
The barcode sticker slapped on the body is the cherry on top.
BooobiesANDbho@reddit
Slap this mf on a lifted truck
YorakHunt420@reddit
there's one of those rolling around in Zürich, Switzerland of all places
BooobiesANDbho@reddit
We have one of these and a foxbody local to me.
Rural Utah
POORWIGGUM@reddit
I know this truck, I ain’t no strainer, I know that truck, that’s a ford fuckin corvette
SumScrewz@reddit
S10 frame and forget about it
legal_stylist@reddit
Is 2400 what they pay you to take it away?
Xfifteen@reddit
Ask them if it’s rust free
1937Mopar@reddit
You do know the later models of the C3 had steel in them eh?
Xfifteen@reddit
classless_classic@reddit
I’m assuming no title.
CamaroIsHot-68@reddit (OP)
All there cars that they sale have a clean title and title in hand.
punkassjim@reddit
If it's anything like the Pick-n-Pull yards I've been to: once it goes to the yard for picking apart, it can't be sold. But if it's in the "fixer" lot, it might even have a clean title.
Psych0matt@reddit
I mean, the title is kinda hard to read, but it’s there
ChipRauch@reddit
Seems like a decent start to a pretty cool drag car...
CamaroIsHot-68@reddit (OP)
👍
PracticableSolution@reddit
Does it come with the pallet?
BoliverTShagnasty@reddit
That’d double the value
Plane-Education4750@reddit
I'd ask about the title, but there keeping the frame so you don't need a title
thefordmccord@reddit
Sit that body on a K5 blazer chassis and you would have something.
HSLB66@reddit
One of those where if you need it, great find. If you don’t need it, better off buying a complete one
