'70 Corvette Convertible, #s 350/350hp/4-sp, 23k Miles
 
Seller says this one has had a poor quality repaint in the 1980s, but has only traveled 23,000 miles. Hard to say from the pics alone - looks to have been rattle canned and fluffed at some point in the distant past, but overall it looks pretty presentable to me.

Some ugly sanding marks on the block stamp,unfortunately...wish people would put down the abrasive and just strip the paint. Nevertheless, good colors and options (PW, factory air, etc).

What would it cost to strip and repaint that car?

IIRC, I read on this site a while back that Corvettes were difficult to strip the paint from.

Stunning car,but I've never understood a luggage rack on a Corvette.
Never seen anyone put luggage back there in the real world.
Is it for appearance only?

Agreed, great car, but the luggage rack would need to go.

I saw a C3 not too long ago around here with the t-tops on the luggage rack…

I've never looked under the rear of a C3 Corvette. What sort of access is there to be able to presumably put a nut and washer (actually eight of them) underneath to fasten the luggage rack to the car?

Not a lot with the tire tub and the gas tank in there! Once those are out, it’s like the trunk of a Cadillac!!

I had an '81 back in the day.

It had a plastic rack that folded out and screwed(with knobs) into the rear deck to use as a t-top rack. Came in handy.

As a side note, someone stole the T-tops off the car(they were installed at the time) when it was parked in front of the strip club I worked at. You could pop the t-top latch with a screw driver.

Random internet pics:

^ some people don’t even need a screwdriver; I had someone show me that they could get them off by just thumping them the right way with closed fists, it worked.
