Equipment
327/375hp Fuel Injected engine, 4-speed, Positraction, center lock alloy wheels, AM/FM radio, power windows, woodgrain steering wheel, known history from new.
Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Represented as the original numbers-matching engine, which it appears to be. Kept up over its history, with paintwork as needed. The paint is good with some minor cracking of the paint in the top of the passenger side there is some hazing and paint bubbles on the hood. The bumpers have some micro scratches but no pitting. The engine compartment is mildly aged and has light grime from use. The interior is gracefully worn but no serious flaws exist. A Corvette purist's Corvette.
Market commentary
What's disappointing here is the fact this Corvette has never been to NCRS or Bloomington Gold, in other words it's never been subjected to expert scrutiny. Had it been inspected by those "in the know" it could, and even should, have brought well into the pre-sale estimate range but the result here shows that even informed bidders who reasonably could have liked this Corvette, its equipment and well-preserved condition were keeping their options open with a moderate bid.
