The national average selling price for this car. per Hagerty Insurance. is currently ~$30K!1968 Corvette L79 convertible - UPDATE 11/2014We've decided to sell our car! I have brought it back to it's original glory over the last few years. We bought this car in May 2006 and it was in poor condition. and it didn't even have the engine in it! Well. I've rebuilt the engine and brought it back to being correct as it was originally. Below is a detailed. but not complete. list of some of the work done and where it is at now. We're asking $35. 00. 00. but please bring any reasonable offers. Thanks!I bought this car in May 2006 as a project car. I have the original auction print-outs and documentation from the sale on eBay. I also have all receipts and photos documenting all my work since the purchase date. Due to our family needs. we feel that we need to sell. I've put $K's and countless man hours into the car. but we are willing to part with it for a reasonable offer. Below is a list that is as accurate and truthful as possible to my knowledge. Since purchase and throughout restoration I have only driven this car about 500 milesAll original. numbers matching. except for the engine block. and heads (details below).

New rocker panels (waiting on back-ordered uppers to arrive). chrome parts. new emblems. etc. are also included. 90% of the items purchased to restore this car were purchased through Volunteer Vette Products. I also have the heat shield/sound deadener and carpet for the interior. along with weather stripping. vacuum hoses. extra bulbs. spark plugs. and numerous other misc hardware/items. Upon pick-up of the vehicle you may take any/all parts associated with this car. A new car cover. from Corvette America. also comes with the car. I have all my receipts. manuals. research information. CD with photos of my work. and contacts to go with the car for the new owner. This car is about 95% complete! Install the included interior. seals. and replace a few trim items as needed and this will be a great 1-of-a-kind show car that you can drive! It's never driven in poor weather and is kept in an insulated garage. It runs and sounds great with a lot of power!The frame is solid. I've wire-brushed everything and 'knocked' it and obtained solid 'sound' finding no rust holes or thin spots. The 'bird-cage' is in great condition as well. The only questionable piece that I was planning to leave. and just clean up. is the front bow of the convertible top frame.
