This C2 is complete with the original alternator, radiator, delco AM/FM radio, power antenna, stainless streel trim and a posi-trac differential and being sold with clear Canadian title in the seller’s name, along with GM documentation.

This Corvette coupe retains it’s factory original paint color, Glenn Green (GG) when it was fully restored in 2014 with a frame-off restoration.  Additional photos showing the restoration are included in the photo gallery. Seller notes all body mounts have been changed, new brakes and rotors installed, heater core, parking brake cables, clutch, flywheel, and parking light gaskets were replaced.

This Corvette will be sold with the stock polished 6-spoke wheels which are original to the car and wrapped in white line tires.  As previously noted, the brake pads and rotors have been changed, along with the calipers and parking brake cable. The seller states the Torque Thrust style wheels with redline tires will not be included in the sale.

The interior retains its factory saddle color featuring vinyl bucket seats with tan carpeting.  A polished trim plate surrounds the shifter and ashtray in the center console while knobs for temperature, air, tone, and tuning can be seen just above the AM radio, which is noted to be operational by the seller.

All instrumentation is visible inside the original 3-spoke steering wheel, complete with Corvette checkered flag horn button.  The ancillary gauges include fuel, battery, oil, and water temperatures while the 160mph speedometer and 6500 redline tachometer are located in the center.  The 5 digit odometer reads just over 49k miles which the seller states are original miles.

The L76 327ci V8 engine was rated at 365hp at 3,200 RPM from the factory and utilizes a Muncie 4-speed manual transmission with a posi-traction rear differential. Per the seller, the engine is original to the car and has an 11:1 compression with a solid lifter camshaft.  The engine bay retains many of the factory-correct components including valve covers, air cleaner, hoses, and various hardware.  The seller noted a new fuel line has been recently installed and the engine compartment seal was replaced.

During the restoration, the body was separated from the chassis and the suspension received new spring mounts, trailing arm shims, rear differential bushing kit, and new rear springs.  A 2.5" factory through the exhaust can be seen with factory mufflers.
