For a true "Puritan" it isn't quite right, but it seems like a very nice A/C optioned vert. Sellers say all kinds of dumb stuff, and most don't really know the cars all that well(especially 68's! with their one off parts). I wouldn't necessarily blow off a car because of a dumb seller. An in person look is the only way to buy anyway.

Maybe I missed it, but the only reference I see for "Factory" is the A/C.

YES :
You missed it..............

He said the interior is "ORIGINAL"..........the console is not a 68 console
He listed options & included "SIDE PIPES" which were NOT a 68 option

Then reread his reply to me..............

Factory & original........... to me are one & the same !!!

I would love to see the "TANK" sticker..........listing the a/c as well..........and the trim tag........

He's just clueless & it's just a joke to me listening to all the so called experts & the stories they tell, thats all this post was about !!!

Sounds like he was realistic on the reserve, and someone should end up with a nice vert at a decent price. It's probably not an intentional misrepresentation, more a case of the last owner told him this and that, and he just doesn't know any better.They may well be "original" corvette side pipes and console(not repops) though not 68 specific.Unless your a genuine "Corvette" guy, and especially a 68 specific Corvette guy it's hard to know it all. As far as his reply to the E-Bay question, he is most likely repeating what he was told. It just seems like bashing for bashings sake.
