Lot #719 - This unrestored, preservation-class Corvette is equipped with the original born-with, matching-numbers L89 427/435hp V8 engine with aluminum-head option that's documented by the original shipping report. It has 21,000 original miles. This L89 was also optioned with power brakes, power steering and rare P01 wheel covers. It's also equipped with 4-speed manual transmission. This car has been certified as original per the Bloomington Gold Benchmark standards, meaning it received both a Gold Certification and Survivor Gold Certification. This is a great example for reference of an original car; it still retains much of the factory inspection markings on the frame and suspension. As preservation classes are becoming more prevalent in many major shows, this car is a sure entrant. It has also earned NCRS Top Flight status and the Muscle Car & Corvette Nationals Triple Diamond Award.
