This #'s matching convertible 'Vette came from the factory with the
L-79 350 horsepower 327 Turbofire engine, 4 speed manual
transmission, and a posi rear end with 3.70 gears! This is all
documented with original tank sticker, window sticker, and
protect-o-plate!
EXTERIOR: This is a really good looking body that has been
repainted its original Marlboro Maroon some time ago and still
shows wonderfully! It is smooth, slick, and shiny. We installed
brand new redline radial tires that are mounted on 15 inch rally
rims with chrome rings. The front and rear bumpers appear to have
been rechromed and are very shiny. The headlights work properly.
and taillights are in great shape. The black convertible top looks
had been replaced some time ago but is in fantastic condition.
INTERIOR: What a well preserved, unabused interior that is in
remarkable condition! It is completely stock. The door panels are
in real nice shape, the chrome trim and knobs look great. The dash
pads are in real nice shape, the instrument panel is excellent. All
the gauges work, we just replaced the fuel gauge. The steering
wheel does not have any cracks. It still has the original AM-FM
radio, the console's not beat up at all and it has the correct
4-speed shifter. This is the first year the e-brake was moved to
the center console. It has its original seat belts. The seats have
been reupholstered; the carpets are real nice front to back.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: This has the optional L-79 350 hp 327 motor! #s
matching, we verified the stamp, dates and casting codes. Correct
chrome air cleaner and Corvette script finned aluminum valve
covers. The underside of the hood, fender wells, and firewall are
all painted their correct satin black color. The radiator,
expansion tank, shroud, clutch fan, and tower clamps are all
proper. The alternator appears to have been replaced as well as the
brake master cylinder. The distributor cap has been replaced as
well as the wires that have been routed like the factory did. It
has electric wipers and the squirters are hooked up. Very sharp and
pretty original looking!
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Behind the seats is super clean with original
looking carpet. Not much space back here but just enough room for a
few personal belongings with the top down or a carry-on suitcase or
two if you have the top up. Lift the hatch to the secret
compartment and you can fit a few more things underneath there.
Right now, it houses the original jack assembly. This is a properly
finished "trunk compartment" by all means!
UNDERSIDE: The underside of this car looks nice, clean, and proper.
Maintained as needed, there are several parts that look fresh. It
has independent suspension front and back! The steering components
all appear to be in good condition and are currently working well.
All 4 shocks look recent, rear leaf spring bushings look new. It
has disc brakes at all four corners and looks to have fresh
calipers, lines, hoses, and e-brake assembly. is hooked up. The
full dual exhaust system has been redone and upgraded with
stainless pipes to the mufflers and polished tips exiting through
the valance. Looking up at the #'s matching 327 engine it appears
to have fresh Chevy orange paint, correct starter, and fuel pump.
It looks nice and clean with no visible leaks. The #'s matching
transmission has a fresh look to it with no visible leaks as well.
That transfer's power to the #'s matching rear end with 3.70 posi
gearing from the factory. The fiberglass floors have been neatly
painted black and look to be in great shape. Complete spare tire
carrier.

You just can't go wrong here. A 327-350 hp engine, 4-speed and 3.70
posi in a roadster sounds like fun! It's fun you can justify. Being

investment. You're absolutely going to love the originality and
condition of this classic Corvette!
I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for
virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant
amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my
professional impression of the vehicle. Our salesmen are happy to
assist with descriptions and making sure your questions are
answered. One great suggestion is letting us do a walk around video
that explains the car's condition in detail. **These cars are
displayed in a museum. If interested in a particular car, make an
appointment with a salesman to see that car. Without an appointment
there is an admission fee to enter the showroom. If you buy a car,
your admission will be refunded, and you will be given a 1 year
