Rare factory air conditioned coupe. Only 227 were made with the 365hp motor! The numbers and codes match up. Restored to stock condition. We have $15,000 in recent service work done recently. This investment is ready to enjoy!

EXTERIOR: The hardtops are actually much more valuable on a C2 Corvette because of their great design. The curved window and the boattail design is sharp. This one has an excellent body, there's no signs of damage. It is straight everywhere, the gaps are right on the money, doors close like new. The headlights open and close like new. Repainted Marlboro Maroon and the metal flake is all laid out evenly and it's polished to a very smooth, glossy finish. The jambs are painted slick and the weatherstrips were replaced. The emblems, bowtie mirrors, trim look good. The bumpers have bright chrome. It has correct antenna, original gas cap door.

INTERIOR: Overall very clean, unabused condition. The door panels look great. The dash pads are excellent, gauges look original and all work. It has the correct 6500 redline tachometer for a 365 HP engine. Original Am-Fm radio, glove box door was replaced. The console looks good and has the correct reverse lockout shifter. The seats were recushioned and upholstered like new. The headliner is excellent and carpet is good. Interior lights all work. It has the scissors jack in the rear compartment. A genuine teakwood wheel is a nice option.

ENGINE COMPARTMENT: It has the very potent 327 making 365hp. In addition to the internal features in a 365hp motor visually it has an aluminum intake and finned valve covers. Everything looks correct including the carb, choke tube, fuel filter, exhaust manifolds, ignition shielding etc. The numbers on the pad match, casting codes and date are correct (pictures are on our site). All the components look correct: brackets, pulleys, cooling system etc. A big feature is the factory air conditioning this car has which is working. This is a rare and desirable feature!

UNDERSIDE: It is very clean and proper underneath. It has front and rear independent suspension and several of the parts look fresh. It is the first year for disc brakes too, it has them at all 4 wheels. The exhaust is stock and clean with the tips going out the valance. The floors are still clean raw fiberglass. Complete with spare tire carrier. Looking up at the motor it has correct starter and canister type oil filter. It has a correct Muncie 4-speed manual transmission.

SERVICE: We take pride in our cars and reputation. Therefore, we built a 2 million dollar, 10,000 square ft service center, and hired a team of technicians to work it. This is so we can sell you the best cars within reason.

Air conditioning in a coupe is very rare and desirable. Mated to a 365 hp motor with a 4-speed really makes it special not to mention: fun!
