Default 71 Ontario Orange Number Matching 454 Auto

Sold....
Hello, my name is Jeff. I am buying another home in the near future and I need to sell one of the toys. It is a 71 numbers matching 454 automatic car.
The car has had 1 respray that I know of and the paint looks good from a distance but could use painting to really look good. Interior and carpet are original, both show wear but not torn up. Air condition, power windows, power brakes, power steering, AM/FM stereo, deluxe leather saddle interior, tilt/tele and removable rear window.


Tires are in great condition and brakes perform as they should. The only leak is the power steering. I am not sure if it is a hose or the pump. I have a new set of hoses but I have not had time to put them on.
Car starts right up and runs great. The car does not run hot. It shows 13,xxx miles but I would think it is 113,xxx This car is a great driver or outstanding platform for a restoration
The car is located just North of Charlotte NC in Salisbury NC.
I am asking $24,900 but will listen to reasonable offers. I don't have to sell the car so save the low ball offers.
PM me and I will answer any question I can.
Title is clean and is held by the State Employees Credit Union. Title will be released the day of the sale with a 48hr. notice and your approved funds.

More pictures - Interior lights work as well as some of the fiber optics. Head lights and wipers work as they should.

Took the Vette out for a little cruise on this beautiful Saturday afternoon and it ran great. While I had it uncovered I took some more pictures and will post them this evening.
All glass looks original, interior lights work, some of the fiber optics work, side markers and tail lights are date coded and look original. Runs consistently just under 210 degrees and just over 35 lbs of oil pressure. Air condition blows cold.
Not original to the car, but I have correct t-top covers, owners manual and a couple reproduction sales brochures.
Please PM with questions.

Just took delivery
Car is great, minor issues as any 45 year old car would have.

Jeff, the seller was fantastic throughout the process, honest and a great guy to deal with.

I hope to meet him one day. I owe him a good meal and a few beers.

Jeff, good luck with everything!
