I was looking at that L88 hood, should be a valuable asset.

I’ve had the car for 2 weeks.
“Original” to me means installing the stuff that was on the car when new.
Tri power, TI ignition, original hood, date correct rims with trim rings and center caps, white stripe tires, original hardware, etc.

Eventually I’d like to do a re paint in the original Safari Yellow.

As far as collecting parts, I made a list of what I needed and was able to pretty much get what was needed in one trip from a fellow with a lot of corvette parts in LA.

Edit***
Too many projects asking about originality got me thinking again about the best way to approach a car like this.
I really struggle in terms of what way to go with a car like this. I love original cars, but sometimes I wonder if the best way to approach is to just clean the car up, get it running and leave it alone.
I wish I knew more about the history of the car.
