My brother in law just told me about an 1987 vette that is being sold by the executor of an estate. The car had one owner and has 42,000 miles on it. The deceased owner had taken good car of it, I understand

I am getting more information but need to know what are the key items that I should find out about. I realized I need to know if its a hard top or convertable but what other key items?

Any idea of what the car is worth? After I get the information I will do a post on the forum before it is advertised to see if there is any interest.

In the center console lid or one of the rear bin lids there is an option list for that vehicle.

A list of all the option codes would be wonderful.

An 87 in great shape is anywhere from $8000 - $12000 (if you can find a buyer.

just my $0.02

Give us an idea of the price they want.
They might be offended at an offer of $6,000 if they want $16,000.
