So, did it sell? I graduated high school in 1974 and had a summer job delivering and repairing appliances. Right down the street was a corner bar and the owner had a mid year very similar to this one. Green convertible hardtop, with slot mags and black side pipes. Man, I loved that car but coming from a poor family there was no way I could afford a car like that, even with 1974 prices. I've owned many Corvettes since those days and even had a '64 coupe at one time but have never duplicated that car. I have a '73 coupe that I am now building in the same style but it is just not the same as a C2. It will still be cool but I'll always want to do a mid year instead.
