Amervo, you are right about this car. I've known the owner since 1978 when I started working with him. He's a process engineer, so he's very meticulous. Even in 1978 he almost never took this car out. He bought this because the kids were coming and he had a Corvette. As was the norm back then A/C was shunned for the most part because of the added weight on the front end and loss of 20 horsepower or so. The Mrs had other ideas about what a family car should be so this would up being a Sunday car. He's in his mid seventies now and figures it's time. Bloomington Corvettes says a car should be 80% original to get survivor "gold" and this car is probably better than that. I've been involved in the old car hobby for 40 years myself and can say that in the last 10 years I can honestly say that I can count on one hand the number of survivors of this vintage that that came close to the high degree of originality that this car has. Anyone buying this car will be an instant hit on the show field. The hardest part will exercising restraint on not restoring this car. Heck up until last year the engine paint was all original, but because of leaking valve covers he would up fixing that and repainting them. If it does not get sold here within the next two to three weeks I will put it on bring a trailer, but I'm hoping someone here who has a great appreciation for original cars will step up. Offers around 20K ish will steal this. I have too many myself including the tata, so get the word out.
