Silver on Blue '68 Corvette #s L79 Convertible, Great Docs

Neat car and sadly, it sounds as though it has really deteriorated since it was sold back in '94. Would be a great one to clean up and drive.

The seller states "Engine does not turn and water is in the gas tank" but who knows, it could free up after soaking the cylinders in ATF.

Great color combo and the docs are nice to have....

Looks like this was a no-sale the last time around - already bid to $11k and change in the relisted auction below:

You are right, it is a good read.

He certainly is presenting the car with all the pro's and con's, basically go into the deal expecting to spend some serious cash just to get it running, while not getting up side down on the deal.

The additional comments at the end are kind of sad. A sign of the times.

It's up to 16.5.

That is crazy for a car with a seized motor and a rusty frame that needs a full restoration to be a 35k car.

Owner doesn't even know it the powertrain is original.

X2. I was going to look at this today but, when I woke up and saw it jumped 5500 over night I said nope.
