BeeuTful! Ground up restored retaining its vintage style but it has
some tricks up its sleeve. Under the hood is a dual quad Vette
motor and a new a/c system! Other upgrades include a new 4-speed,
12 volt electrical system, stereo conversion and more.
EXTERIOR: Yes, it is a looker! You don't need to be a "car person"
to be impressed. The colors are amazing. All steel except 2 front
fenders. There is no rust or damage, the body is straight as a
rifle barrel. The metal flake is laid out evenly and the clear coat
is like glass. It actually looks wet it's so glossy. Up front is
fully dressed with optional chrome grill, bumper, headlight bezels
and the big Chevrolet emblem. In back it has reproduction
taillights and chrome bumper. All new, lightly smoked glass was
installed. Radial American Classic fat white walls really look
great. 15" rims are painted to match the truck and have new trim on
them.
INTERIOR: It is completely restored although it retains its
original vintage look. It has a few hidden secrets. That original
style shifter is actually hooked up to a new 4-speed. The AM radio
has an Fm stereo conversion with dual speakers in the dash. The
metal is all painted original color. The chrome trim, knobs, window
cranks, steering wheel look new. The instruments have been
restored. The seat is reupholstered, new rubber mat. Optional
headliner and visors, working dome light. It was upgraded with
retractable seat belts and turn signals.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: It has a 1962 Corvette 327-340 hp engine with a
performance rebuild. It's now making 420 hp and has a set of a set
of dual quads on top. Aluminum intake with 2 Edelbrock carbs and
electric choke. A new air conditioning system has been installed.
New big radiator and an electric fan keeps the motor running cool.
Upgraded to a 12 volt system with an alternator. All new wiring,
cloth wrapped like the original. All the metal surfaces are painted
smoothly, many new nuts and bolts. The motor is dressed up within
aluminum Corvette valve covers.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Inside the bed is all refinished. The sidewalls
are perfectly straight metal paint a glass finish. The oak floor is
redone and has stainless steel strips and hardware. The tailgate is
functional.
UNDERSIDE: It is ground up restored underneath. Completely rebuilt
and detailed. The steering and suspension have been restored. The
brake system has been restored, brake lines and hoses were
replaced. New dual exhaust with glass pack style mufflers. Looking
up at the motor it is spotless, has a canister type oil filter. New
starter, fuel pump and motor mounts. New Richmond 4-speed
transmission with all new clutch and shift linkage. Rebuilt drive

This truck is a people pleaser. Very easy to look at. The new owner
will also have the pleasure of using it. Open up all 8 barrels and
shifting those gears sounds like fun.
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 particular car make an
appointment with a salesman to see that car. Without an appointment
there is an admission fee to enter the showroom. If you buy a car,
your admission will be refunded and you will be given a 1 year
membership.
