| Listed for sale is my 1970 Corvette Coupe with 77,800 original miles / Automatic transmission / Original engine Base 350/300hp. The original colors are matching for this car with the Laguna Gray exterior and Black Interior. Options on this car include PS, PB, Tilt-Telescoping, and Air Conditioning.
This corvette is a wonderful example of what can conservatively be described as an excellent daily driver or even a local car show winner with just a bit of additional effort.

Original Engine
Additionally, I have the original complete engine for the car, and it is included in the sale of the car, along with the newer engine currently installed. Th original engine may not take much to get the up to snuff, as it was running whenever I replaced it; however, it may need a anywhere up to a complete overhaul to make it totally reliable. The engine was making a knocking sound in the bottom end when I replaced it. It should be a good candidate for a rebuild, as there was no known damage done to the block or to the heads before it was replaced.
