Super clean for a 'sitting' car. Nice pick up.

Looks like a fun project!

What's the plans? Get it running and drive it or more extensive upgrades?

The round taillight/chrome bumper years are my favorite Vettes by far. Nice find, I would love to have one of those.

I figured I would get it running with the 327 in it and do as little as possible as quick as possible just to drive it for summer and then store it. However, my mom saw it and fell in love. She wants to drive it. So, that changes everything. I am strapped for cash since I bought it, so I will just get it running and safe and let her drive it...she will keep it at her place. If she wants it, I will maybe do a ls1 & 460le on it. I am just finishing up a swap in a 68 so I know what to expect. Or if I could find a wrecked vette cheap, put those seats in it and the driveline. What do you think this car is worth running?
