I am looking for advice on my first Corvette purchase. I have wanted a C3 forever and have been shopping around for about 6 months. Now I'm about to close the deal on a 76 but I'm wondering how much of an effect the mileage has on the value of the car. I was told by more than one person earlier in my search that mileage is not such an important factor on a Corvette, but of course these people were sellers.
The car is a 1976 with new paint, good interior, clean engine.. starts easily, sounds nice, runs smooth.. Automatic, power everything, new exhaust, new starter, new battery, new plugs etc, passed the safety.
It has a matching numbers 350 L48 with 134,000 miles rebuilt at 90,000.
Even though everything looks good and seems to run well, should I be concerned about this many miles and will it drastically affect the value of the car. The last thing I want to hear from an appraiser is that it's worth less than I paid for it.
Any feedback is appreciated.
