dude, thats the kind of situation where you IMEDIATLY remove all major electrical components, crack the housings open and let them dry! thats when you just buy 2 kegs of beer and order a load of pizzas, call everyone you know and say "when this car is totaly dissassembled, we can hit that ber and food give them all baggies and markers and have them label all the bolts they take out jesus christ, i would have had the door open before they even had the car out of the pond, lol ugh, its not THAT hard to save a flooded car, if you get it all apart b4 the water starts to effect the electronics ---

my figures from kbb ('91 ZR1, 38000miles, checked the auctions options, “Fair” condition): trade in: $15,190 private party: $18,860 SRV: $25,450 HRK, that vette is obviously in better condition. :lol: ---

i know its in better condition, but its also got double the miles on it besides the fact hat the zr1 went into the pond, all its got is some missing dash pieces, a chip in the fender and some damage to the airdamn realy considering that its a zr1, it would still easily sell for 25k, unsunken , im betting the sunk one gos for 14k+ ---

> [@TrueBlue](#): > > well, it begs the obvious question of how?! :cjerk: how did he end up in the pond…or how does he expect to get $10K on a flooded heap of metal? He was racing and lost control. I forget if it says that on his auction, or on his site (which is linked from his auction) IMO: this guy probably didn’t deserve a Corvette yet. Good thi8ng he’s selling it. As for the price, it’s probably not really worth that much, but considering the clear title (not salvage, wrecked, or otherwise) it still can pull that kind of dough. I would figure that if anybody bought one of those these days, they would probably swap out the engine anyway. ---
