Convertible (removable hardtop shown), not a coupe.
Love that color. My first car in the late 70’s was a 68 RS/SS Camaro in that color. Great memories.
Joe is wrong. C3’s are the most beautiful design that Corvette ever had. My C3’s (I have a 73 and a 76) turn heads wherever I go.
Doug is right. This one shown is a convertible.
Not a 327/350 with that low hp intake manifold.
