Default How about this one from ebay?

Next up is this 76:

One thing that stands out to me is he says with a little under hood dress up it would be a great little car to take to shows but he does not show a picture of the engine compartment. That makes me wonder just how bad it looks under there.

Sure would like to see the engine compartment, and underside of the engine itself, exhaust system, rear end and do the brake calipers leak and do the headlights go up and down and does the A/C work and on and on and on.... all the typical C3 things...

Gah! I saw that very car on the side of the road with a "For Sale" sign on it just last week. I guess I missed my window. I wonder what his reserve is.

I should've read the whole thing, huh?

Not too bad if everything is as good as the paint and interior appear to be. If someone wants me to take a closer look at it, just say the word and I'll track it down.

Not a bad price for a "rare" '76 L48 'Vette with Flame Orange paint.

Seriously, though, the inteerior and exterior look pretty good. I'd like to see the engine, but that would be the first thing tossed onto the scrap heap if I bought another one.

From what I have seen when I was looking for mine, this looks to be in better shape and condition for that price than any I have looked at.

I am not crazy about the factory correct FLAME ORANGE paint job, but it would be a tradeoff for the color if the car is really that nice.

On the list from ebay, the color is listed as Black. Maybe that was the original color.

If you view the source code for his pics, you'll find a whole bunch that aren't posted in the auction, including this one:
