thorne Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 My wife is talking about getting a second job so she can buy one later this year. She was curious what's the price to expect ? We found one for 5000$ that looked nice. OR Would it make sense to buy a roller and take it to ips for a ls1? Sorry the wife is really buggin about not having a fast car any more. She misses her monte carlo. She nixed my Fox body idea ;( . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thorne Posted March 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 If we did not owe so much on the SUV I would go today and get a G8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stimmel1647545512 Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 Take it to IPS as a roller and get a lsx that would be sick.... My uncle has a mint 75 350 4 speed car with aftermarket exhaust carb intake and its slow as a dog but looks mint... LSx stingray FTW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPLN SUX Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 You can find decent rollers for under $2500. In all honesty, i wouldnt even fool with an LSX... buy a Jegs crate for like 1800, find a used turbo 400 or 700R4 (dirt cheap) and just drop it in. With the old stingrays, theres no need to swap all kinds of junk into them unless you are really trying to make something that will really scoot along down the freeway.

RS69 Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 (edited) You are not going to get much a stringray vette for under 5K. Expect a full restoration will be needed. What I mean is the frame might be rusted out. What year are you looking for? The most affordable ones are 75 to 80 and these running will be around 10K. Believe me 10K is too much for these but they are not dropping in value. If you are looking for the chrome bumper ones, expect to be in between 15K to the sky is the limit. I do vette restoration as a hobby(no LS1 type of stuff ,old school), if you are serious pm and I can assist.

nurkvinny Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 Saying "tell me about Stingrays" is kind of like "tell me about RS Camaros." Too vague to give much of an answer. What year, options, etc are you looking for? I am helping with a 67 restoration now. It will probably be a $30k restoration, and we got the initial car for dirt cheap and it came with every single original part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hal Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 Got a '71 sitting in the garage, completely original. It'll still take me 5-10k to get it where it needs to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
