Default 1968 L89 coupe with Nom

I really don't wanna sell this car but im considering selling it despite what my wife thinks I should do. The car is originally a L89 car but the original motor was long gone before I got the car. I have the tank sticker and the tach & rear sway all are correct for a L89 car. The motor is a LS7 454 crate motor installed by the previous owner. I have run it on 100LL since I've had it because the previous owner said it wouldn't run well on 93.

Since I've bought the car I've put a gear reduction starter, billet flywheel, new gas tank, new holley 850 carb, dragon fire tach drive hei distributor, 3 inch exhaust and hedman headers, torq thrust wheels and new tires, and all new calipers and pads.

It runs, drives and passed inspection. Paint is below average driver quality and the interior is decent. the original color is corvette bronze with tobacco interior but the car is now black on black. The previous owner said he liked black better so he had it redone in the 80s. It also has the original spare with what I'm pretty sure is the original tire.

Extra parts that go with the car are clear glass ttops, the original radio, all the parts for a toms 12 bolt kit and all the spare parts I have laying around for it.

The frame has some surface rust but nothing bad. I actually thought it was in above average shape for its age. That picture may be a little misleading.

Car came out of Sacramento ca. The previous owner said they don't salt the roads up there and it stayed in the garage.

These pictures were before the exhaust of the frame.

Some engine compartment pics.







I am gonna try and pull all the toms 12 bolt parts out of storage and take pictures of what all I have.

I would be willing to sell the car without the 12 bolt.

I believe the car has the original trans and rear end from what I've been told. My understanding was in 68 they didnt stamp any vin numbers on the 68 parts if there's any casting numbers I should look for I'll find em and take pixtures.

I took some pictures of the toms 12 bolt parts I have.

The VIN # would be stamped on the side of the aluminum transmission case but not the rear end.

Any chance you would be willing to sell the Tom's rear end stuff seperately?
