Sharp! Curious that the odometer shows 45149 miles yet the service sticker on the door (appears to be a vintage Marathon Service station sticker) reads the same mileage. The date is tuff to read but IMO is either “5/3/06” or 5/3/66”. I don’t think this sticker would have been used in 2006.

Saw that too, maybe a disconnected speedometer?

Could be Tony, but seller states “ Odometer shows 45149 miles and could possibly be correct.”. Hmmmmm

Not unusual for C2 odometers to quit working, while the speedo continues to work.

Don't they go to 99,999 and start over at 0, like all the other GM's of that era ?


Love the all BLUE color...
I saved and enlarged the pic and the date looks like 5/3/76

My experience with most C2 Corvettes in the mid 70s was that the odometer was broken between 39,000 and 55,000 miles while the speedometer kept working. Being they were our daily drivers there was little incentive to pull the dash just to fixed the odometer when the speedometer and all the other gauges worked just fine. Of the seven C2 Corvette I had in the mid 70s only one had a working odometer because it had 38,000 miles on it. Me and my first C2 Corvette fall of 1973 with a broken odometer.

Yep, if it didn't touch your shoulders, it wasn't long enough yet.

MJV1953,

Looks like your Split Window is wearing the 68 turbine wheel covers.
