I got a 68 coupe in about the same shape. Just got done replacing almost everything that wasn’t working to get her running. Still isn’t 100% but a numbers matching mostly original work in progress with no frame or birdcage rust is good enough for me.
My former boss used to date stouts daughter wow this brings a lot of memories I even had t-shirts from not dealership they used to say wrap your ass in fiberglass buy a stoudt's Corvette
In 2001, I bought a '75 basket case in much worse shape. I rebuilt and put the crappy L-48 in a 32' boat. I'm holding my breath for a 427. I don't care about numbers matching or anything other than making it what it should have been.
Your corvette looks a lot better than mine did after I got mine after it was also sitting for 20 years haha. Very cool to watch quick progress happen as compared to me where progress was slow because I was still learning about carburetors :)
I have a 1977 Corvette that I had sent's new I am the only owner of this car and I am related to Louie Chevrolet and that Corvette is a 1973 and I hope you checked the birdcage on that Corvette they do rust and if you ever see that the car is no good it will coast money to fix the car and most people will never do it
FYI… It’s not fiberglass. 1972 was the last year Corvettes were make of fiberglass. Starting in 1973 they have been make of SMC (Sheet Molded Compound).
Does it take balls or guts to disclose a price? What does it matter what we paid for it over 2 years ago? Markets change my friend. Thanks for watching!
