He even says that he describes his cars to the best of his knowledge. The inventory looks interesting, and I saw an unrestored 54 sold for 36k.
If you're in the "luxury car" dealer business, isn't your income dependant on your knowledge of cars? If only the ones you're selling?
But, the 70 pictures are very helpful!
Some more time and effort should have been put into the details of his ad.

...in the last 20yrs I've seen this car in person several times. Never got to see that trim tag though. Would like to hear the explanation on that one? I last attended Bloomington Gold in 2006 and it was near that year(maybe a year or two before), I saw that car sell there at their Mecum Auction and I believe it brought $62.5K back then if I remember right.
My old Silver/Silver '75 L-82 coupe was built 73 cars ahead of this one, which was kinda neat.

The dealer probably delegates the ad writing to some "brilliant" recent graduate relative who was staring out the study hall window chomping his/her gum just a few months ago.
These "gum chompers" can be found in your doctor's billing office, your insurance company and countless businesses all over this country.
They are air heads and make our lives hell.
I seem to interact with them on a regular basis.

Thanks! I've been thinking more and more about seeing if I can quickly fix it up and drive it for my summer car. I'd have to sell off my G8 which I would probably lose money on and I'd have to convince my mom to let me have it which would be hard since I already got my dad's '68. Though my sister already said she really doesn't want one of the vettes now and my mom wouldn't want to drive one anymore. But that might be a moot point because the wife told me that I couldn't buy it lol.

Hmmm... this All Original 1975 Corvette comes with an "AM/FM CD Radio". I didn't know the General had CD Players as an option, years before CD's were on the market.
This car is equipped with the following options:

Also....there maybe conversions ...where old unique radios are gutted and new modern insides install to keep the stk look. Hard to say.
