Hoping to score one in the 10-12K range. Is this a reason expectation?
Thank you for your time.

Yes you should be able to find a nice one in that price range. You might look on Corvette forum. Be sure and check for frame rust on those years if they were daily drivers in the rust belt. Good luck on your hunt.

Gaston,
What's the Model T? I am headed to the Iola car show this weekend to sell a couple of cars, and like certain T's. I also just sold a 1987 Corvette conv, very nice, low miles for $13000, if that helps you. Stay away from 84's, and try to get as low mileage as possible. They are expensive to maintain.

His explanation is not clear. He could have a F**D Model "T" or he could have a Chevrolet Model "T" truck.

Sorry. I have a 1917 Ford Model T that I trying to unload. Long story on how I got "talked/con'd into" owning one when I have been a Chevy loyal for some 20 years.
Looking for a late 70s to 80s Corvette to replace the Ford for summer driving about 500 miles a year.
Low miles say in the 70-80K range oe less considering the age of the vette?
But I do own 2 Chevy daily drivers

I have a potential buyer for the T. Interesting fellow that owns a car for each decade of the past century and needs one from the teens and in the ballpark of my asking price.
Close to that time... Corvette shopping :)

It has taken awhile but I sold the car and now have the garage space for the Vette. I must thank my brother for the $6,000+ profit on the sale though. It will definitely help with locating a nice one.
