Default looking for a green 68-72

Hello, I am wondering if anyone has a nice driver level original green chrome bumper car out there that they might want to sell. My ideal would be a donnybrook green small block. Might be able to swing a big block. My year preference is 70 , 69 , 72, 71, 68. Based solely on the colors in each year. Convertible would be nice, but a coupe is fine. Power steering is a huge plus. 4 speed is a huge plus, as well. Just trying to beat the bushes and see if anyone has one they have been on the fence about selling

Nice looking 69 Green with Green interior on Minneapolis Craigslist, listing states car is being sold by original owner, might be worth a look.

What? Someone actually wants an original Green Corvette!

I'm still on the fence, but you should have no problem finding what you're looking for in this soft market.
Good luck on your search.

Terrific looking 71 roadster, dark green has always been my #1 choice for color, have owned 3, 65 roadster, 71 coupe, and now have a 96 roadster.

I love green too...I am 42 now, I saw a 68 gto, verdoro green while working at walmart pushing carts at 16. Loved green ever since. Just looks 60s/70s to me. Tom65, I emailed about that wisconsin car, he has money down on it. It might fall through though.

Still looking. There is a nice looking 72 in jersey on ebay. Cant seem to reach the owner. Those 3rd party consignment deals are annoying. No frame pics etc. Seems like vette owners love to go through dealers.

There's a sweet '70 near D.C. I emailed the guy if he would mind if I
post it on CF 'cause he had all the original parts, the car was real nice (in the pics).

I'll look for the link. Not 100% sure it's original motor, but I think it is.
He wanted 22k and it was a rolling chassis 15 years ago, so I guess frame-off.
edit: link is gone - I'll e-mail the guy.

here you go:
