1971 Chevrolet Corvette Description

1971 corvette convertible 454 4 speed non matching early 70's motor. Its a real 454 car. This car has been reported to have only 12,000 original miles on it and Box A title shows 12,000 miles. I have no documentation of that just the 80 year old owners story.
The Good:All gauges, arning lights, oor buzzer and even the clock works!Head lights go up and down great.Wipers work as they should.The steering ram cylinder was leaking at the seal so i replaced that, he hoses and the control valve.Top is new and goes up and down easily.Carpet appears to be original and in excellent shape throughout.New fuel pump.Tires look new.New battery.New 750 carb.Frame has never had rust and underside is clean.Starts up fine,trans shift like new, o noises,plenty of power.Aftermarket aluminum radiator with a dual electric fan.Still has clutch drive fan.The not as good:Recently painted but driver quality to me.
Pan gasket has slight drip nothing major.
Some weather stripping, ot all needs replaced.Chrome is ok not perfect.Some trim rings have curb rash.
Windshield has crack.
I have described the car the best i can. I am not a corvette guy.
There were 14,680 hard tops and 7121 convertibles made in 1971. 5097 had 454's. 2387 had 4 speeds.. 1591 total were steel cities grey. So how many were convertible, 54,4 speed in grey. Not many!
I would consider a trade for a 1970 chevelle or 66-67 nova only.
added pics of underside and have more if needed. I have had several offers on this car but it will take over $20K for me to consider selling it.
