Still available?
Looks like a fun "driver" for someone not at all interested in being NCRS correct.
Any engine pics available?

Did this car come from Del/MD just a short time ago?
I went back and checked his post, he must have moved from MD. He did a ton of work to this car and for a driver its not a bad price. I would have to see it in person.

Not trying to be critical, but are you a car salesman?
All of your pictures look like many of the car lots, showing the shine and reflection and special angles but have no pictures of what is crucial to a good buying decision.
You have two pictures of something mechanical - both are the rear end.
You don't even show the engine compartment after talking about the engine so much.
None of the flaws you mention are pictured. If I were selling and said there is a minor tear in the driver's seat, I'd show a picture so that everyone can see how minor it is.
If you want to sell to the general public non-car people, you show pictures that stress emotion with looks, style, and flash.
If you want to sell to car crazy Corvette enthusiast, you have to show pictures that answer the dozens of technical questions they have. these typically on an old Corvette are engine, engine stamp pad when claimed original, any "flaws" you mention so they can judge for themselves, frame especially under the doors, and the birdcage if you can get a camera in there.
Good luck in your sale, it is a beautiful car. A coworker had one like it in '76 and I was in love with it, but never did manage to get one like it.

When I had a C2 specialist assess what would be needed to make the car show worthy one of the first things he said I should look into is a new main wiring harness. All the wires are there, but over time they corrode or someone has to track a problem down and cut into it. Everything works electrically on the car, it is just not show quality.

No. I am a private seller.
All of your pictures look like many of the car lots, showing the shine and reflection and special angles but have no pictures of what is crucial to a good buying decision.
Thank you, I pride myself in my photography.
You have two pictures of something mechanical - both are the rear end.
You don't even show the engine compartment after talking about the engine so much.
The new add has a link to pictures of the engine.
None of the flaws you mention are pictured. If I were selling and said there is a minor tear in the driver's seat, I'd show a picture so that everyone can see how minor it is.
If someone is local and interested enough in the car they would come out and have a look without needing a picture of a tear in the seat.
If you want to sell to the general public non-car people, you show pictures that stress emotion with looks, style, and flash.
Again, thank you for the compliment.
If you want to sell to car crazy Corvette enthusiast, you have to show pictures that answer the dozens of technical questions they have. these typically on an old Corvette are engine, engine stamp pad when claimed original, any "flaws" you mention so they can judge for themselves, frame especially under the doors, and the birdcage if you can get a camera in there.
As you can see from the description of my add, it says NOM. Therefore no pictures of a stamp pad need be present. Nor have I attempted to falsely advertise this car as original or manufacture said stamp.

Yes this car did come from MD. And before that it came from N.C. Check out the newly listed add that includes engine pictures. For 27,500 it is a good price for a car that needs nothing to get out and drive.

Just glancing at the photos, there are some large cracks in the glass at both the left and right headlight surround. Not sure what the cause is but I would certainly want to check the underside of the nose for problems. Maybe an accident at some time? The cracks look like more than minor stress cracks. The price seems to be good if the birdcage, suspension, and frame are good. BUT, pictures can be deceiving. I'm shocked someone has not bought the car for that price unless there are issues?
