Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
This car definitely spent some time under the sun, as the original paint is quite faded, significantly more so on the top than on the sides. Chips at the front of the headlight doors and cracks around the hood. Chips around the side vents and the backs of the doors. Dull, lightly scratched original chrome. Big gouge taken out of the back of the driver's door. Pitted door handles. Dull switchgear. Large rip in the driver's seat and a piece of electrical tape is covering up a rip in the passenger's side door panel. Road wear but no major issues underneath. All original and showing 56,876 miles, but it doesn't have any desirable equipment other than the side pipes and Corvettes are so common that you'd be excused for disregarding this car's preservation and embarking on a straightforward restoration.
Market commentary
A strong result for a mediocre car. Whether it was preservation or the sheer mass of bidders at Mohegan Sun that contributed to this car's premium is unclear, but it brought several grand more than you'd expect from a '68 327/300 automatic in this condition.
