Seems like a nice car for the money...

Not being a 'Vette Guy'...I have a few questions;

-what is the gizmo on the passenger side under the hood...some kind of vacuum can??

-I notice an extra spot on the fan pulley for another belt...smog or...???

I like the way they list the L79 option as a Corvette V8...the other Chevy models with the L79 were rated at 325hp.

With the M20 and the 3.55 gear it must move right along down the road.

The gizmo is a vacuum canister to operate the wiper door for the hidden wiper assembly
