This car is a Consistent Show Winner beating fresh body off restorations. I have driven this car 8-25 miles per year for the last 23 years.
Driven to 0-2 very local show/s a year. Otherwise the car was started every few months and driven in the spring and fall enough to use 5 gallons of gas per year. I have cruise night friends that do not even know of this car. I have other cars I drive regularly during the season. The car was trailered to shows that were not close back when I was into doing shows.
This is very tight excellent driving and riding Corvette.
The AC is currently not charged (car has basically been sitting since I have owned it the freon has leaked out ) but sale includes a mostly full 30# can of R12 freon.
The body of this car has never been off the frame and it doesn’t need it as you can see by the photos.
The right side pipe has a few small holes in the bottom from running colder due to the heat riser causing moisture not burning off and the car sitting for long periods of time. I have an NOS pair of 1970 vintage GM pipes that are going with the car.
The power antennae that is in the car is a GM replacement with the correct tip. I have a New In The Box OEM Glass Rebuilt/Restored Antennae ($800 worth) that goes with the car.
I did not want the hassles and noise of the K19 emmissions system so I removed the vanes from the pump, plugged the lines (inside the the hoses) at the carburetor and placed small steel plugs I made of steel drill rod between the internal and external injection tubes inside the exhaust manifold ports. The belt is in place, the pulley turns and all looks fine. The system is just not pumping air, making noise and causing the engine to run lousy. The engine runs very smoothly as one would want.
The car had around 65K miles on it when I purchased it. The odometer soon after stopped working . I took it out and replaced the cross gear with a used one and it did not last but a couple outings with the car. This car has currently less than 66K miles on it but the odometer shows 45K and is currently not working. Again, I have put 500-600 miles on this car in the last 23 years.
This car is priced at $109K
I encourage you to personally inspect and ask any questions. I am not a typist and prefer a phone call at 630-887-3960. There is a voice mail and I will return USA calls.
Gorgeous car, good luck with the sale! Wish I had the $$$ to buy it myself. She'd look real nice next to my 67....

beautiful car and worth the money, period. But when I look at pictures I just can not believe this car has not had a total restoration.The car has a perfect engine compartment,perfect interior, great underside, and perfect appearing paint with perfect gaps that do not appear to be factory gaps.
The body of this car was only repainted, never reworked. Like I stated in my description if you look for them you can see every factory seam on the body of this car. I detailed the engine about 16-17 years ago. The paint 30-32 years old and still excellent. These are not old photos.
As far as being a good buy, I agree. People spend much more than this for a 425 or 435 car with that being the only or with very few options. I have been a Corvette parts guy for many years and this car is worth 2-3x in parts than what it is priced at. You can't say that about the 425 & 435 cars. If you watch what things sell for on ebay including the original bolts, parts of options, std parts, never hit body and rust free frames you will agree.
Jim
I guess people agree with my previous comment about the value of this car being worth more than a 425 or 435 car. There has been no controversy on the subject. If you do your homework you will find there were fewer of these made than 67 L-88's.
Some one need to buy this car so I can retire this spring & ttt
Waiting to hear from you.
Jim
...one of the coolest bigblock C2s I've ever seen. Just an absolute awesome bigblock midyear coupe. One of my favorite C2 colors of all time. Simply amazing.

Thank you,Paul.
This car always drew lots of attention when I showed it at local Corvette shows. I has been a garage queen for a long time. may be this summer I will drive it more if I still have it.
Jim
Absolutely beautiful car!!! My favorite color too. I just bought a 2005 black vette, but would love to have another C2. Good Luck. I'm sure you will have no problem selling.
Beautiful Car, just picked up a 66 Mossport with the 300hp 327 a little over a year ago that is believed to be an AIR car. The color is unique and grabs a lot of attention. I would have been interested if I did not already purchase what I have.
