I am assuming since seller pointed crack out to current owner when he purchased the car a discount was figured in. And since current owner is displaying the crack to the whole world, assuming a similar discount is figured in. Looks like a nice car.

 

Well all I can say is that I have been looking for 3 years and this car is by far the nicest one that I have come across both inside & out. This car has been extremely well taken care of & it checked all the boxes for me. Upon examination by someone far more qualified than me, it's a nonissue. As far as pointing it out, I would have seen it once the car was lifted. FWIW, given the situation, I would have done the same thing. Also, pictures tend to make things look alot worse than they really are as it is is barely visible in person.

 

Just stabilize it from the backside. It will be fine.

 

From the overall picture of the car, notice how all the body panels match up, the door gaps look fine in the photo. The body panel fit and the old paint job look really good. I'd recommend nothing aggressive about repairing this crack.....as someone earlier suggested trying to stabilize it from the inside of the panel.

If you want to repaint an old Corvette that has good looking paint, you can spiral into an abyss once you take the old paint off. Stripping off the old paint down to the fiberglass, will reveal hundred (?) or so micro cracks around the wheel wells and around the hood opening on the front clip. These microcracks formed under the old paint surface and are not seen. Once you remove the old paint, you need to fill in the micro cracks before painting. Filling in the microcracks with resin, not bondo, can be expensive, Also my 68 came from the factory with ill fitting body panels, making the body panels smoothly fit with resin...more expense. Also,something for the OP to think about. After the paint was removed from my rear valance panel....the panel with tail lights, this panel looked black.....it was saturated with engine blow by oil!.....it could not be repainted......the entire panel had to be replaced with a salvage yard donor panel (I didn't want a repro panel)...more expense. i

 

Isn't it nice that the outer tips of the bumpers are just simply bolted to the fiberglass?

 

That is to stabilize that fiberglass....not to support the chrome bumper.

 

That is actually a fairly common occurrence on the chrome bumper cars; it happens quite easily if the bumper bolts are not tightened very carefully.

I used to think people were very careless if they did this.......until I did it to my own car!!

If that is the only concern on the car, I wouldn't be too concerned about it!
