76,323 miles from the odometer on April 2014. Very nice 1968 Corvette Convertible with rare L79 option. Strong runner with no smoke, noises or oil usage. This is a numbers matching car. Listed below are all of the numbers. All gauges work except clock and tach. Interior is very nice with no rips or tears on seats or door panels. Dash and carpet is also in excellent condition. Non smoker's car. Black top is in good condition. Back window is clear. Aftermarket radio with rear speakers. Headlight doors open and close as they should and all lights work. (Including interior lights) Wiper door is a bit lazy to close at times (Opens as it should). I never have it out in the rain, so it doesn't bother me. Paint is deep and shines well. There is a small scratch in the driver?s door. I could not get it to show in a photo. There are a couple of very minor stress webs showing. The car starts quickly and runs out well. Easy driving with power steering and brakes. Never overheats even in traffic. Holds 60 lbs. oil pressure at highway speed, and never goes lower than 35 when idling after warm-up. Clutch is strong and 4 speed shifts as it should. This is a very nice driver. I have a retail certificate of sale that shows 69,494 miles in 1999. I believe the current mileage to be correct. I have some paperwork from past owners that will go with the car. I bought the car in August of 2012, and have enjoyed driving and showing it. I have installed new shocks all around, new bushings front and back, tuned the car and changed transmission and positraction fluids. Pictures of underside of car were taken last year as I do not have access to a rack now. They do not show the new shocks and bushings. Mileage may be off a few miles as I drove the car to show this weekend. At the age of 70 plus with arthritis, I am finding it more difficult to get in and out of the car. I have found a nice street rod that is easier to enter and exit.
