-
The interior is in good condition, as evidenced by the push button AM/FM radio and other switches.
-
The engine components have some rust, but the shielding, radiator fill tank, and other correct parts are all in place.
-
The door panels, and chrome on the panels are is nice condition. Steering wheel and column also. There is some rust, including on the door latch mechanism.
-
This photo shows the damage done to the nose of the vette. In 1966 the repair estimate was $600. At today's prices for parts and labor the repair could easily be closer to $6000.
-
The carpet and other interior pieces are weathered well. The seats have plastic covers. The glass had tarps thrown over, although the body of the car was open to the weather.
-
The original gauges had been covered with red plexiglass covers. They strike me as ugly, but they did a great job of protecting the original gauges from the elements.
-
The car was discovered sitting in trees, in this area, pretty much intact, with fewer than 24,000 original miles, and a well documented history.
