Default Want to find one of my old cars.......

Back in the day I had a '76 bright blue coupe with black leather interior. It was an L-48 auto, but was probably one of the best running cars I've ever owned. I hardly drive the Z06, so this would be my seasonal driver. I'm willing to pay up for a mint low mile example hopefully with some paperwork and documentation. Other colors would do, but mine was also a no-rear luggage rack car and I just loved the lines of that car !!!!

Yell me what Ya' got !!
Thanks, Mark

All correct numbers 350 HP? Add should be a little more specific......Motor defiantly needed to be worked for those numbers.....Stock matching numbers,190 HP the most...

Default 76

No affiliation with either. The first one was a no sale on eBay a few weeks ago. Perhaps the seller still has it? There is a phone number in the ad. Worth a shot.

I remember you and your cars for sure...way before kids I did a lot of NCRS stuff. And my brandshatchgreen '71 vert belonged to Bobby O'neil and then Peter Latsey from Belmont....I had it for years and now it's in Conn. At last count I'm in the 40's for how many vettes I've had. I enjoy the "hunt" as they say, and then I get bored with them Keep your eyes open for something you know I'd like !!!

Thanks,
Mark
