#s matching motor, trans and rear. A body off frame restoration was
finished by D & M Corvette in 2000. A collector owned the car with
several others. He hardly drove his cars and kept them stored in a
dry building. He recently passed and the collection was sold. This
car was taken to a professional shop for complete inspection and
service.
EXTERIOR: The body shows real well, I'm walking around the car and
don't see any damage. The panels fit very nicely, the headlights
open and close properly. The paint job goes back over 20 years and
it's very bright red with a glossy finish. If you're looking for
flaws you will find some but it presents itself real nice. Up front
the bumpers and emblem have been replaced. In back the taillight
assemblies were replaced, bumpers shine nice. New gas cap lid. The
power antenna was rebuilt. It has an optional lift off hard top
that's painted to match and overall in good condition. The white
convertible top was replaced, it looks new. The knock off wheels
still look new. The tires are brand new. New weatherstrips on
pillars and doors. And of course it has side exhaust, my favorite
part on the car.
INTERIOR: Very tidy and detailed. There's new firm cushions in the
seats, new upholstery. The center console is real nice and has a
Hurst shifter. The gauges were all restored. The speedometer head
was replaced, upgraded quartz movement in the clock. The knobs look
new. The correct radio looks like new and it works. Carpet was
replaced front to back. Door panels were replaced, the window
cranks and knobs are excellent. The dash pads are mint, there are
some light scratches on the glove box door and couple cracks on the
steering wheel. All new wiring harness throughout the entire car.
New glovebox liner. Steering column was rebuilt.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Vin number matching 327-300 hp motor. The
casting codes, dates and stamps all correspond correctly. The motor
was rebuilt and runs smooth. The engine compartment is restored and
detailed to factory new. It has the correct manifolds, carb, fuel
filter, choke tube and dual snorkel air cleaner. It has upper and
lower ignition shielding. Reproduction GM hoses and clamps. The
clutch fan and shroud look new, it has the correct expansion tank.
Spring clamp battery cables on the Delco battery. Replaced wiper
motor.
UNDERSIDE: The body was off the frame. Underneath this car was
completely rebuilt and concourse detailed. The chassis was
disassembled, redi stripped and painted. All the suspension was
rebuilt, steering box was rebuilt. Replaced fuel tank, sending unit
and lines. Look up at the motor it is clean, it has correct
canister oil filter. Starter and fuel pump look fresh. The vin #
matching Muncie 4-speed was rebuilt, linkage was rebuilt. It has
it's original date coded 3.36 posi rear. Recently a complete
inspection was done under the car. Brake system was gone through,
front calipers were replaced. Fuel system was flushed. First year
for disc at all 4 wheels. E-brake is functional. The fiberglass
floors are in the raw which is correct. There is no damage, it has
complete spare tire carrier.
Nothing better than shifting gears in a red Vette roadster
listening to the rumble of the side pipes with the top down. This
is a good one to do it in. Frame off restored #s matching car!
I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for
virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant
amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my
professional impression of the vehicle.
Our salesmen are happy to assist with descriptions and making sure
your questions are answered. One great suggestion is letting us do
a walk around video that explains the car's condition in
detail.
**These cars are displayed in a museum. If interested in a

showroom. If you buy a car, your admission will be refunded and you
