Carl thanks for the link saw that one. Curious car, it looks like very original but not well maintained car. Lots of engine work for a car with 59K miles on it.
No trim tag pic although the letter says that the paint is correct.
Sadly it will need paint. The "kiss of death" for these cars. There is a pic of the front bumper that shows something really odd with the paint I guess I will follow it and see were it goes.
I have got close to purchasing a few cars but just seem to either have an issue or price is too high.
Thanks again Ike

Carl thanks for the lead. I messaged the sender. These Facebook ads are hard to deal with. I have yet to get a message back from multiple attempts by me to contact them. I guess we will see. Thanks again I just PMed you by the way!! Ike
Edit, sadly it looks like the 1968 White Vette dos not have an original motor. I wonder why the poster doe not clearly state that nor his asking price??

Carl thanks. It appears that the car may be in Oklahoma.??? I emailed them none the less. I would assume out of my price range but never hurts to ask. I never understand why they don' list an asking price, isn't that more work for them?
Thanks again Ike

It’s just Canada. Maybe the seller will bring it across the border? But from what I’ve heard, bringing an old car to the States is pretty easy. There are also agents that can handle the whole process for you if you don’t want the hassle. Worth looking into anyway, looks like a very nice car. That color package is sweet.

Definitely is a nice combo of color. I would imagine all the extras to get it down form Canada would add a decent amount to the cars
overall expense. The car would need to sell at a great price to make the numbers work!
What do you think is going on with that mount in the pic that someone eluded to? A crack? Is it pulling away from the body?
Thanks Ike

The car was originally manufactured in the US, so the fee to bring it to the states should be next to nothing.
I'm going to Corvettes at Carlisle in August. You going? If so, let's try to meet up!
Perhaps our brothers on the forum from the Great White North can chime in though!
