Why is this projected to sell so cheap with a numbers matching, IU aluminum head engine? Am I missing something?

I've owned Vettes for over 40 years. Been to Carlisle 27+ times, early NCRS member.
I have NEVER seen this colour on a Vette, is it rare?

The only think I see going against it, is that it's a 1968 which usually do not bring BIG money compared to a 1969. Bill

There's no mention of judging history, paperwork, or original engine on this L89 and any or all of those things are critical to a car like this bringing top dollar. The color was available but is not real common. I love the color.
