Vehicle Description
INTRODUCED IN 1953 AND BILLED AS THE FIRST ALL-AMERICAN SPORTS CAR
OUR C1 FIRST GENERATION CORVETTE IS A COMPLETELY RESTORED 2ND YEAR
CAR. ONLY 3640 OF THESE WERE MADE IN 1954 WITH 87% BEING POLO WHITE
WITH RED BUCKET SEATS INTERIOR. OUR CAR #2231 MADE IS AN EARLIER
CAR PRODUCED IN MID TO LATE APRIL 1954. ODOMETER WAS RESET IN THE
LATE 1990'S WHEN THE CAR UNDERWENT A COMPLETE FRAME OFF
RESTORATION. IT HAS CLOCKED JUST OVER 500 MILES SINCE REBUILD.
WE'VE RECENTLY REBUILT ALL THREE CARTER CARBS AND THE CAR NOW RUNS
BEAUTIFULLY. THERE ARE SOME OBVIOUS ITEMS, KNOWN TO NCRS
KNOWLEDGABLE PERSONS,THAT WILL NEED TO BE ADDRESSED FOR HIGH POINTS
AT NCRS EVENTS. BOTH THE SIDE CURTAINSAND DISTRIBUTOR SHIELD ARE
MISSING, THERE ARE ADJUSMENTS REQUIRED TO MAKE SOME GAGES WORK
PROPERLY INCLUDING THE TACHOMETER. SOME FASTENERS ARE INCORRECT FOR
THIS CAR AND THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER IS NOT CORRECT. THERE IS NO
PAINT MISMATCH ON THE DRIVER DOOR TO FENDER AREA - SEE INTERIOR
UPDATE PHOTOS. THESE ARE ITEMS THAT WE ARE ADDRESSING BUT HAVE
PRICED THE CAR IN ACCORD WITH THE CURRENT CONDITION. THIS VEHICLE
IS REPRESENTED AND SOLD MILES EXEMPT - UNKNOWN.IT CURRENTLY HAS A
CLEAR OHIO DEALER TITLE. THE CHROME AND STAINLESS IS BEAUTIFUL -
THE REAR BUMPER BEING THE EXCEPTION THE CHROME IS GOOD BUT THE
PLATER DID NOT REMOVE A NOTICABLE GOUGE. ALL IN ALL THIS IS A VERY
CLEAN WELL RESTORED GREAT FUNCTIONING VEHICLE THAT RIGHTLY DRAWS
ATTENTION ESPECIALLY FROM CORVETTE FANS. Please call us for more
information.
