The word "restoration" means different things to different people. To some it's a thorough detail, and to others it's a full body-off rebuilding of the vehicle with tremendous attention to detail.

There were different options for the car and some while "rare" aren't really desirable and others are very sought after.

There's a publication called The Corvette Black Book. I highly recommend it as it has lots of information on available options and production numbers, etc.

My impression is it's a great time to buy a muscle car. Good Luck!
