History, I have owned the car just over 3 Years and am believed to be the forth owner. The last owner had it for about 10 years and said he purchased it from the second owner. Who did the paint conversion to Mille Miglia Red. Also Have Paper work and Original Tank Sicker
When I bought the car 3k miles ago I replaced complete exhaust with the hide a way mufflers (Sounds just right). Complete tune-up, Belts, Hoses, Valve Cover Gaskets, All Fluids, Master Cylinder and checked all Brakes..(Were Like New) Mechanically Needs Nothing.. Also just replaced the original nose with the flex fiberglass nose (Worked hard to make it fit Perfect) also has 330 Fiberglass rear spring
Condition, This is the Good Part! This Vette Looks, Runs and drives and Handles Great!!
Like a 44k mile Vette should... Paint is in Excellent Condition with only a couple small touch ups. Interior is in Excellent Original Condition... There is No rust on this car.. and the underside is very clean with no leaks.. Reduced till Snow! $21,995

How do you like the 3:70 gear in that car? Reason I ask is., I had the stock 3:36 in my 73 before it went (122,000 miles) got a great deal on a complete 3:70 unit so I had it put in.....Have a worked 350 motor with a healthy cam so it's fun in the streets but can't stand it on the highway..
How do you like yours on the highway?

72-74 speedometer vs. 75-77 speedometer.
Looks like the original speedo, or at least the speedo face (and the original mileage?) is gone.

We will probably never now, maybe speedometer broke when car was one or two years old and that's what GM put in.. They often put in later parts when cars came in for service. It does have the correct 5 digits not 6 as yours shows though.

Even though the speedometer appears to have been changed, I believe (based on what I can see of the car) that the odometer is the original one for the car.
Most likely a speedometer failure early in the car's life.
Good luck with the sale.

Very good point on the odometer. 1975-1976 also used 5 digit odometers. 1977 had the 6 digit (with the tenths of a mile added) odometer.

Most likely a speedometer failure early in the car's life.
