Equipment
427/450hp L72, 4-speed, hardtop, side exhaust, M21 4-speed, power steering, power antenna, Positraction, gold line tires, centerlock alloy wheels.
Condition
The paint is very good other than light surface scratches and cracking on the hood. The engine compartment is clean and tidy but still appears original. The alignment of the driver's side door is a little uneven. The brightwork is excellent, the polish and alignment is superb. The weather-stripping on the hardtop is loose. The interior is also very good with no real signs of wear and tear minus light wrinkles on the driver's seat. Desirably equipped and featuring the earlier 450-horse rated L72 engine, a quality Corvette.
Market commentary
The lack of documentation or history is a bit concerning with this otherwise good and desirable C2, and that might explain the $66,780 price it brought at Mecum Indy in 2011. The bidders here didn't seem to mind, however, bidding it to a price that any other genuine L72 in this condition would expect to bring. Its early 427/450hp configuration is a big bonus, even though it's only a marketing hype feature.
