What's with all of those *****? Two pull downs, one for wiper door and one for the headlight. The switch for the wipers between the pull downs. One other for the odometer reset. What is the other one for?

If I were a prospective buyer I'd make them remove those ugly *** decals first. Those are horrible looking.

Looks like they struck oil in the worms-eye view shots.
For 49K you should be able to eat off of the bottom of it.
I'm sure there is some moron with too much money out there.

What was somebody thinking when they painted like that? I would like to have it though--just add another 10K for a 1st rate paint job...

What's funnier is the bike that my step-dad just bought for $6500 new (2005 Kawasaki ZZR600) has a working digital clock.

You guys have obviously never looked for NOS 68 Vette parts. Besides the awful artwork on the paint (which can probably be rubbed out) this car is a "Time Machine". I sold a 1970 LT-1 Vette for $30K about 3 years ago with 54K miles on it but, in similar condition (better paint.) I didn't keep the LT-1 because it made me sick in the gut to drive it and I thought some "new citizen" would run a stop sign and cream the car at every intersection. 400HP 3X2 Vettes RUN! and seem to stay in tune better than their 435HP cousins. Great Vette and for around $35K it is a STEAL! (I would bet reserve will be met around there.) We will have to wait and see how the auction ends.

Hey 68 experts. Did 68s have a dash mounted ignition? Just curious. I thought they were column mounted like my 72.
