Sold 76 Corvette, L-48 4 spd in WA
Mahogany Metallic with 138,000 mi and factory 4 speed. I am the third adult owner. It was purchased in Seattle. At some point the original owner moved to central Washington (desert) where my insurance agent bought it. I purchased it from him in May of 2004 with 124,000 mi on it. There are receipts going back to when it was almost new. It had an average repaint 23 years ago. It does still shine and looks great but does have rock chips from years of use. Now has a GMPP 350HO with very low miles. I have the original motor, air cleaner housing, plug wire shields and carb which is included. Original motor does need to be rebuilt, head gasket started to leak oil into the cooling system. This is a great driver with about every thing rebuilt during my ownership. Everything works but the clock.

Gorgeous car! Best of both worlds with the original engine included and a beefy motor to enjoy in the mean time. It is exactly what I'm looking for! Too bad it is on the wrong side of the country. GLWS and bump for a beauty.
