its a 2 owner car. it has been in the same area for its whole life. Our friend knows the original owner. I do not have pictures the car is up in new york. Our friend has looked it over and is a corvette guy as he has a show quality 1967 coupe and also a detail freak. He told us that this is a very nice car.

Depends on the overall condition, Does the underside look new or does it show age, same for the interior. This is what makes or breaks the value after we know if everything original & numbers matching. anywhere between 18-30k depending on if the mentioned is clean or mint.

If its so easy then I would expect the seller to fix it. There is a For Sale section which may be more appropriate.

i will see the car before anything happens. I havent talked to our friend about it recently. all i recall was from what he told me 2 years ago when the owner was trying to sell the car. Thats why i am waiting for more information. I'm pretty sure that it is an original car, but i am waiting to hear from him to verify this fact.

I'm going to say $17 because of the paint color. Not a very popular color right now. 69 in black, $22K

BTW - I'm a fan of the color.

$17k for a two owner car, with 50k miles, original paint, numbers matching, in very good condition. You would be giving it away.

I also dig that color, especially on a Vert with a Black top.
