Where did you see this? Sounds like what may be an upper end of the spectrum I'd expect to see for a standard small block Vette coupe with NOM. Was it restored, other than the NOM? New paint?
If this was on eBay, we won't know if the sale was completed.
Funny thing when doing some research on typical values of NOM cars vs number matching is almost ALL Corvettes I see advertised are "numbers matching". Few will state it's NOM. If this were true, then numbers matching cars should be plentiful, not rare at all? Have to wonder how often the term is abused.

I was sitting talking with the owner for over an hour at his EZ up tent, space R62. The owner received 3 offers, 2 at $14K and 1 at $15K earlier that day. Around 2pm he called the potential buyer that offered $15K on his cell phone and wife came over and she and the owner sat in car counting out $15K cash. The new owners drove the car home. The car was refurbished by the owner and driven for 2 years. Selling to buy daughter an MX3 Mazda, her choice for a car.
Wonder what it may have sold for with the original engine?
Do Vettes sold at Carlisle sell for a bit more than other markets?
The seller would have a lot of competition nearby...
Daughter would rather have an MX3 Mazda than a nice 72 Corvette?
