Mick - thanks for the reply. I think I'm going to let this one pass. Although I'm anxious to get my vette, I'm going to take my time and make sure I get the right one for me. I'm going to start by looking in a 4 - 5 hour driving radius from here (north Alabama), so I can driv eto look at anything of interest. Thanks again to everyone for their comments and help!

If you are really interested and get a chance to buy it. Run a CarFax report on it. You can find out some of the history from the report.
Myself I would do this, look at it, and drive the thing.
Another option would be to ask if there are any members who could check it out for you. (We all like to gaze at a piece of American sportscar history).

Mick,

About the "book value" of ANY car.... I was trying to sell a midyear corvette to this gentleman and told him the book value was $48,000. His question to me, "how many cars have you ever sold to a book"? Good point I guess.

The paint looks new and so does the interior, and no mention of it. plus it just says a 350 cubic inch engine.so ask a lot of questions for sure.I'd be wary of it without seeing it .   

I thought it was interesting in the description that it has air conditioning and astro-ventilation. I thought Chevy didn't put the astrovent on factory A/C equipped cars. Or does that just hold true in later years?

FWIW: This car really looks good, but I would want to see it up close. It's listed on the Holt website for $22,900

Ok, first let me say that I'm not bidding on this one. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem& ;item=4627771475&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&am p;rd=1

In fact, I've resolved to just use e-bay as another source of classifeid ad to find cars to go look at. Anyways, the person listing sent additional pictures as requested. His description states the car has had a frame off restoration. Those pictures were not included. I e-mailed back asking to see them. Here's his response:
