1969 Chevrolet Corvette converible

I'm listing this Corvette for the daughter of my best friend who is now deceased. I worked many years for her dad in the automotive business, and I'm very familiar with this particular car from his collection. This is the real deal a factory original LL427/390HP Turbo-Hydra-Matic 4 Barrel car. Can-Am white with black interior, white conv top"that may be original and is still in decent condition". The car has approx 55,000 actual miles. This car has been kept in heated dry storage since mid 90's that I know of. This is a unmolested car that has never been wrecked, and was repainted in the mid 1980's. The paint still displays well and is of driver quality. I do not believe the motor has ever been apart. The only thing not original on the car is the spread bore Holley carb that was put on a couple of years ago while the original Rochester carb was being rebuilt. The original rebuilt Rochester carb comes with car. The photos were taken January 21, 2017, it was 64 degrees in Indianapolis, IN, so I put some fresh gas in the car and a new battery and took the car out and drove it around for 20 miles or more. The car drives straight, brakes without pulling left or right, "in the past brakes were gone through", trans shifts like it should, basically drives better than new due to modern new tires. The clutch fan works like it should. Other than the new points I installed, the car will need a complete tuneup. I believe the same spark plugs have been it for several years. The original cable factory tach works like it should. The Holly carb that is on it now is temperamental, I would discard and install original for smooth driving. The car is located in Indianapolis, Indiana. Car is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end auction early should car sale locally. Car is sold as is where is, buyer is welcome to make arrangements to view before auction ends. The reason for selling is, the car just sits and does not mesh with practical everyday living. A $200 deposit within 24 hours after auction ends, balance can be paid with cash on pickup, or bank wire prior to pickup.
