1016T..1972 Corvette Benchmark 4-Star Bowtie Time-Capsule T-Top, 350 turbo hydra-matic transmission, numbers matching original motor, transmission and rear end, also has factory original body/trim tag, 8,925 actual miles. Bryar Blue paint with Black interior. Original, unmolested, unrestored and in excellent low-mile condition. Bloomington Gold Benchmark award (2018), Survivor award (2018), Gold certified OEM (2018), NCRS Top Flight (2017), NCRS Regional Top Flight 98.9% (2022), NCRS National 4-Star Bowtie award (2022), MCACN Concours Gold (2022), MCACN Triple Diamond (2022), MCACN Concours Gold (2018), MCACN Triple Diamond (2018) and MCACN year of the 1972 Display (2022) which is amazing considering this car is original and unrestored including it's original tires and exhaust. This car is one of the elite few recipients of America’s most prestigious Corvette awards, the happy result of a lifetime of diligent care and discerning use. Unrestored and original!! It was judged worthy of Bloomington Gold Certification, Survivor and Benchmark honors, the latter being the most important of all to the demanding collector. Benchmark Certification recognizes each recipient as not only unrestored—a quality recognized in Survivor judging—but also that it remains in showroom condition, exactly as it was upon delivery from the factory with the exception of aging. These qualities make it the perfect source of reference for a top-quality restoration of a like car, ergo the term “Benchmark.” Benchmark Certification is only awarded to cars that have achieved both Gold and Survivor on the same weekend, qualify in all four Survivor categories. Benchmark is, by definition, the most important distinction in the entire Corvette judging regime, one awarded to fewer than 250 Corvettes 1953 to 1972. These original unmolested cars are among the rarest of rare and are rising to the top of the Corvette food chain as unrestored cars are used as guideposts for restorers, shining a light on the way vehicles were originally built and represent the standards which historians, judges, and future restorers can use to determine factory authenticity. The solid feel of an excellent unrestored car cannot be overstated!… This is a great car for a purist connoisseur. Also has an affirmation by CCAS/Grenning as to the legitimacy and originality of the engine block, stamp pad, and the engine stamp.

1017T.. 1978 Corvette Limited Edition Indy Pace Car, L-82, 4 speed, numbers matching original motor, transmission and rear end, also has factory original body/trim tag, 5,429 actual miles. Special Black/Silver Pace Car paint with Special Pace Car Silver interior, tops, wheels and graphics. New condition with the exception of minor aging that one would expect on a 46-year old low-mile car. Original, unrestored and excellent. These original unmolested cars are among the rarest of rare and are rising to the top of the Corvette food chain as unrestored cars are used as guideposts for restorers, shining a light on the way vehicles were originally built and represent the standards which historians, judges, and future restorers can use to determine factory authenticity. The solid feel of an excellent unrestored car cannot be overstated!… This is a great car for a purist connoisseur. One of 202 optioned with the L82 4-speed combination. Original door decals still in original box. Optioned with close-ratio 4-speed transmission, factory air, power steering, power brakes, power windows, power antenna, power door locks, cruise control, leather, tilt-n-telescopic, SS brakes, A.I.R., AM/FM stereo radio with cassette, comfort/convenience group, rear window defog, FE7 Gymkhana suspension, audio alarm, glass tops, sport mirrors, tinted glass, alloys and raised white lettered radials. Most all factory correct type components. Documented with the window sticker, copy of manufacturer's statement of origin (MSO), owners manual, sales brochure, copies of previous titles back to 1978, maintenance receipts, 62nd Indy 500-Mile Race program, Indy Speedway photos, GM ads and articles and multiple 3-ring binders. Editorialized in Corvette News, Corvette Fever, Corvette World, and Super Chevy Magazine. In 1978, Al Unser wins Indy 500 for third time! This car has had a lifetime of diligent care and discerning use and maintenance to be as nice and original as it is. Looks, runs, and drives excellent and is incredibly civilized! CC:1 SOLD
