Bought a 72 Corvette with (suspect 69,000 miles) on a 69 340 Dart trade. 340 had a disillusioned snap wring on a piston. 1976 was the year. I remember because I broke my ankle sky-diving. I loved that Vette so much I replaced many parts in the interim of my two year ownership. Brakes, clutch, exhaust , and that thing that atomizes fuel. Still can't spell it. Carbonizator. The bank kept sending me letters saying I didn't have insurance on my $4500. dollar loan for the car. I kept saying, "It's only a matter of trust!" I loved that car! I would never wreck it. Never did.

Not a Vette guy, but my Army Vet buddy was, if I were to own one this body was the one to have! I'm a Army Vet too!, and I like these cars! Just never could see the practicality of owning one, this being said, only a 4spd transmission or better would only do! When you own a sports car it needs to be a manual transmission! Doesn't matter if it's a Vette, or a Lamborghini! Just my opinion and we all know what it means! Good driving my friends!

I'm mad I missed this one. The exact model and interior I'm wanting. Plus it all worked. I'll keep an eye out to see what comes in.

That is so sexy. The exterior, interior, exhaust sound and that gloss black on chrome... it exudes alpha-level energy. It's a convertible too. Aw man. I loved the inspection on this car. 1969. We need them good, confident vibes today. (Also, great angles from the outside. The roof and rear quarter panel give you a view that you normally can't see on the move on your own. Brilliant.)

Even as a base 350/300 hp non matching as long as cage and body mounts are good she’s awesome. If trim tag is original red interior they only Made 1500ish vinyl and 180 leather (in all body colors). Super rare if automatic convertible but I would still want a 4sp. Great car for the money. Lovin Mondays with Corvettes Nick! Rock on! 🤘

One opens the headlight doors without turning the lights on, the other opens the windshield wiper door. The knob in the middle is for stopping the wiper arms in mid travel on the windshield to change the blades.
