Hey Mark,

The short answer is: nothing was sold

I started at $11,500 under constant pressure from almost everyone to lower the price. No calls no nothing. On Saturday I cut it to $10,500 and stopped at the car at arranged times - still nothing. Sunday was a repeat of Saturday.

I looked at comparables and I don't think I am that high - maybe a thousand? But none of them had any documentation I could see.

I saw several other cars that seemed cheap but were not selling. there was a nice blue 91 for $6000, a white 80 for $7500 with a real healthy engine and set up for street racing duty, a gold 84 complete and running for $2995. I am not sure this is the right venue to be selling for top buck.

I did buy trim rings, some of the ignition shielding, interior silver parts: some nice leather seats, visors, RH dash front, a couple trim pieces, and stock valve covers.

I'm glad to see the '63 made the trip. Go Dave!

------------------------

Nothing wrong with starting at high price. If anyones REALLY interested, they'll make an offer. Now, as we go into fall, the demand is gona diminish - IMO. Sit on her this winter, and she'll sell in the spring.

Top down!

Memories of Carlisle, please add your's:

"Do the deal!"

F*cking Baster Automobile Company.

Saturday night dinner in the dark (aka eating pizza at the hotel).

102 degrees in the shade.

More Corvette's than thought possible in one location.

Racing an old Nova in the V.

-BP

First long roadtrip in the Corvette, with 7+ hours of the top down cruising

My first time being there on Friday morning

Grilling up lunch for everyone, and having them all live to tell about it

"What's that knocking noise?"

Un-corking a supercharged Regal in a parking lot full of Vettes

Having our hotel located on a virtual dragstrip in Carlisle

*yawn*, another Z06.


-Dave

Driving the Vette 5 hours tops off - following the 63 a good bit of the way. Had to put the heat on the last leg since the air was cool.

"Let's do the deal!" - made funnier since we actually got to see the videos on youtube

Power outage at the All-Star Cafe (formerly Rod's). I still think we should have borrowed the gas grill from the neighbors and cooked our own.

The whole f-ing b-tard thing was hilarious

Trying to pack a third silver seat in the back of the Vette with all of mine and Bill's stuff.

So many Corvettes and parts.

I'm sure I missed something

Edit - installing my new seats at Carlisle

Driving in the rain following a '63 Corvette Roadster with the top down & wipers on high,

following the companion '75 vette with the T-Tops out in the same rain storm with the wipers on full.

Butter pecan Ice Cream cones and sugar cookies

Farmwood's finest vintage wines (only 4 bottles, the other 8 are in Chardon.)

Free STS-V car wash on the way to W-Mart (what happened to the 1/2 tank of gas?)

My favorite purchase was the new 50 feet of 1/4 inch air hose that was marked $25 and I paid $15, it reaches everwhere in the garage.

Piloting a top down '63 Vette. Row, row, row. (I love it).

Piloting (literally) an STS-V rocketship. (Hang onto you hats boys. I've got the hammer down!).

Drinkin' wine, wine, wine with Fred.

Blackout at Rod's.

Corvettes as far as the eye can see.

Lunch cooked by "Chef Studly" and eatin' and restin' in the shade.

102 degrees in the shade (in Pennsylvania?)

New JEEP hat. (which I'm gonna pitch in the trash unless I get rid of this vibration).

I've started on the DVD slideshow for Corvettes Carlisle 2007. I'm enjoying going through the pictures.

Do you still have your Jeep hat?

-BP

I haven't exhausted all the possibilities in solving the problem. In other words, I'm still working on it as time permits. And time doesn't permit much work on it. I said all this to say yes. I still have the hat and the vibration.

The much awaited slideshow DVD is moving toward completion. This is one activity that I could do when down for a week of illness.
I've had some technical hurdles to overcome along with other delays for who-knows-what, but I'm looking forward to your enjoyment of the finished product.

If this DVD is anything like the last one, I can't wait.
Corvettes at Carlisle was quite an exciting happening.
We made a serious amount of fun during that weekend.
I look forward to the DVD to reliving some of those amazing memories!

This is just a teaser. Premiere night will be in July at 32V's house in July.

I'm already excited about it. Both seeing you, and watching the video. Not to mention the Formula will be back in town.
