Hard to tell in a few pics but that's looks really rough. At the very least a major challenge. Everything that needs fixing will be a %$#! pain in the ***.

Beware of Bubba. Notice the true dual exhaust, which was not stock. Also notice the R.H. pipe routing. It was a DIY, not done professionally.

My `76 has true duals too. I always forget about that when talking originality. It also has a NOM (15 year old shortblock), LED taillights and a non-`76 steering wheel but other than that it's 'correct'. It won a trophy in what was essentially a category for the least modified non-original Corvette. I decided to quit while I was on top so that was the only car show it's ever been in.

hello Thank you for your opinions
I also bought that one. The chassis is better but it seems to me that the floors have been restored.

I am confused, did you purchase the first one or you purchased this one and now want opinions on this one? Looks a lot cleaner.
