Default 66 Vette Roadster - 70's style

I have done a few things, cleaned out the tank, new sending unit, rebuilt the carb...
-50k miles
-original interior minus the carpet
-Pretty sure it is an original L79 however the engine currently in it is a HM code 1968 model 327.
-2 tops
-am/fm power antenna
-(original)Nassau Blue with Blk std.

Frame is very clean, body appears very nice, the bonding strips are great and the wheel lips are nice as well.
until last week same owner since 1972, and was "restored" in the mid 70's?

6,000 RPM redline is either a 327/350 horse or a 427/390 horse. It doesn't look like it was a big block, so it was most likely a 350 horse.

Love it. Nicer version but reminds me of the one in "King of The Hill" with Dennis Hopper and Harry Hamlin

A customer was looking for a 66 vette conv and I turned him onto this car, from the pics I received it appeared to be a nice original body and good frame plus it came with tons of extra/NOS parts. I would have preferred to have seen the car before he bought it but he wouldn't wait...after it arrived last week it was nicer than anticipated.
Intentions are to return the car to Nassau blue at some point however he would like to drive and enjoy the car some first.
I am looking for an original set of steel wheels and hubcaps, and will be ditching the Chrome Hooker sidepipes too [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/thumbsdown.gif[/img]

'65 &amp; '66 original steel wheels without the &quot;nubs&quot; are getting hard to find.

How much for the sidepipes? I have a few Corvettes here that would love to wear them.
