Peter Gariepy Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Silverghost, your checked the wrong vin: E54S002631Should be: E54S002365Not sure it makes a difference. Where did you get the first vin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Gariepy Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Also curious, is the vin stamped on the frame as well? I't s a little disconcerting to see the vin place in a ziplock bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Gariepy Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 PinkChrome,No one has an answer to what to ask for it. Its very rare, the car is missing a BOATLOAD of very very expensive parts, the engine is totally wrong. There are VIN issues it appears. On top of that you dont state if you have a title. Etc.With that said here are some links that might help:NADA says the car's value range is between $44k and $113k.1954 Chevrolet Corvette 2 Door Convertible price report at NADAguides.comHowever, the car doesnt even come close to matching the neccessary description:"Low Retail Value This vehicle would be in mechanically functional condition, needing only minor reconditioning. The exterior paint, trim, and interior would show normal wear, needing only minor reconditioning. May also be a deteriorated restoration or a very poor amateur restoration. Most usable "as-is".Some of the vehicles in this publication could be considered "Daily Drivers" and are not valued as a classic vehicle. When determining a value for a daily driver, it is recommended that the subscriber use the low retail value.Note: This value does not represent a "parts car"."If you Google "Corvette Classifieds" you'll find this: corvette classifieds - Google SearchYou can see what the competition says there.

Peter Gariepy Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Here is another picture of the VIN Tag. Hard to tell what it is so I'll assume the vin in the ziplock is correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Silverghost Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 As all can see they started with # 1001 not #0001So to get the number in production 1954 sequence use a a 1 for the first digit !OR 1635 th car built in 1954 Hope this is clear to everyone ?
