Pretty low miles for a custom painted, slightly wrecked, no longer stolen corvette ex show car! I'm bidding on it, the idea of the "puff of smoke on startup" puts a smile on my face as I trash the ozone layer everytime I turn the key!

Yep It's ugly alright!! But it really isn't all that bad. A little TLC and and some new paint and you are almost back to original,,good enough for a fun knock around driver!! If you got it under 2K,,could be a fun play toy/project for a DIY'er!! If I had the time and some extra cash I'd do it!!I got a pretty good 402 BB sitting in the corner of my shop.build the tranny,,stuff it in,,think it would be fun!! Stuff a 454 crank with some custom pistons =427,,,giddy up!!

The louvers on the back window are not included in this auction.
That's a deal breaker for me. The louvers make the car. Without them they can just forget forget it.
