This is a rare opportunity to own an all original L-71 427 engine 435 hp tri-power car, lots of history and records, very low 23,320 miles with documentation. Appears never any accidents, excellent frame and undercarriage, never any rust, still has original F-41 rear spring with stencil! The original engine runs  fantastic! The car runs and drives nice and tight and very strong. VERY solid, no rattles, just what one would expect from a low miles car.

I purchased this car from a customer who has owned it for over 13 yrs, he wanted fast $$ to purchase a new toy, so I supplied it, he purchased the car back in 1998 then from Corvette Center in Newington, Ct who had purchased the car from who we feel was the original owner right here in Conn. The car sat unused for a long time but was stored properly. The car had just  approx. 17,000 miles at that time. So I suspect that makes it a two owner car! When he purchased it Corvette Center promised to supply the tank sticker, which he remembers they did as its stated on the sales contract (which we still have of course) but he has since lost it, he really was not aware of its importance. Thats a shame, but the car quite clearly speaks for itself.

Obviously he did not drive it much either.

Corvette center rechromed the bumpers and repainted the car so the paint is not old, looks fantastic! It has a few scratches, etc from use but no stress cracks at all. It really looks beautiful! The lines and panel fit on this car are just fantastic, one of the best C-3\'s I have seen.

Its a 4-speed car, original M-21 trans, has a 4:11 rear, power steering and power brakes. I have used the car and put about 200 miles on it, its a blast to drive! It draws a LOT of attention, its a ground thumper!

Yes, its got all its original tags and its originally Safari yellow with the black vinyl interior. EVERYTHING works, even the clock! And yes, it is the original engine and coded T0711IR, very late built, vin#26063, block casting date is F168. All other components , heads, etc are correct. The center carb, #4055 is service dated 3061 and the front#3659 carb is also service dated as 2691, they were both replaced about 6 yrs ago do to to much build up from previous lack of use, the originals  could have easily been restored but the owner chose to not tie up the car so I traded these new ones for the originals then, the originals I sold and are are long gone. The rear carb is still original and is #3659, dtd 833. They all work flawlessly! Is it a numbers matching car? Read the description please and be certain what you are bidding on BEFORE bidding please. It runs fine using 93 octane fuel.

The original radiator was recored a few years back, there are lots of service records indicating mileage stats since he purchased it until now. All the keys match and are correct, there are original keys. Both door locks operate smoothly and the key matches both doors and the ignition, the oval key operates the glove box and the spare tire lock. There is two sets of brand new NOS GM keys cut for it. Never used!

The car runs nice and cool, even the cockpit stays nice and cool as all the floorpan shielding and insulation is still in place.

Has its original shifter, still on the long throw. Radio works fine, all the gauges work fine. heater, vents, cables, all electrical functions, even the fiber optics are fine. Wipers are fine, as are the headlamps.

The car has been maintained well, never abused or raced, always adult owned, never any modifications. It appears the original owner just wanted a \"rocket\" to show off! The entire interior is original and in very nice condition. EXCEPT, the seats were recovered back in 97 as he wanted a bit more \"cushiony\" feel (which he did not get, they are 68\'s!) new foam and covers, I still have the originals in the box the new ones came in! And the front carpet was replaced. He was NOT an NCRS guy, just wanted everything cosmetically as nice as possible was more important than \"numbers\". But I, knowing the car as long as I have appreciated what it really was!

The side pipes? Yep, he wanted them installed back in 2004, wanted more noise! (Yes, it sounds incredible) I saved the original rear valance so under car exhaust can be easily reinstalled if desired. I did not save the rocker moldings. There were no modifications made for the install, it all just unbolts if desired. It has BF Goodrich T/A radials on it only a few years old, they are raised white letter but that was turned inwards.

This is a turn key car, ready to show, ready to drive and enjoy. A very rare find. Everything is tight, everything works, its the \"BIG DOG\" The T-tops fit excellent and operate smoothly as does the rear window, the storage tray works fine and there are excellent  new storage bags for the tops. Has its original owners manual.

I invite inspections, it can be viewed here by appointment by yourself or your representative, I can put it on the lift here also. Weather dependent of course. Its impressive. I have done my best to describe it fairly and honestly. Do not pass up the opportunity to own a real unmolested 435 car.

I invite you to ask all the questions you like, I will answer as promptly and accurately as possible, I do have many more pics and will gladly take picks of anything in particular you like. Just be specific and do not just ask me to send all I have, that takes time and there are far to many \"just want free\" photo collectors out there.

 If you plan on paying with ANY type of check be prepared to wait a few weeks before car is released. Wire transfer is preferred, and its instant and safe. I can store the car for a reasonable amount of time agreed upon before its picked up and my schedule is very flexible and I will gladly assist in loading it or can recommend a good carrier. I have sold cars overseas also and am familiar with the procedure so can help there also.

The car can also be driven anywhere of course if desired. Wow, what a summer cross country trip that would make!
