Show quality top to bottom, this is a nicely detailed car. It has a
binder filled with invoices for restoration done in the last few
years including a $10,000 service at the shop with their own TV
series: Fantom Works.
EXTERIOR: The body looks to be in outstanding condition. I don't
see any damage, cracking or problem areas. The panels and pieces
all fit exceptionally well. Repainted its original Safari Yellow
color and it is polished smooth and glossy, better than when it
left the factory. The jambs are painted slick, weather strips were
replaced. The convertible top has been upgraded with a rich black
canvas material instead of vinyl. All the chrome and trim looks
like it's been replaced, the bumpers have show quality chrome.
Correct antenna. New factory style side exhaust looks and sounds
great. Windshield was replaced. It sits pretty on a set of 15 inch
radial redline tires and deluxe wheels.
INTERIOR: It's also really impressive inside. The seats have been
recushioned and upholstered. The carpet front to back was replaced.
New door panels. All the bits and pieces look great too: vents,
dash area, gauges etc. It has a factory radio. Rare telescopic
wheel.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: It has the correct, properly dated and coded
327-300 hp motor. The entire engine compartment looks like it's
restored and detailed properly. All the components look fresh and
proper. It features factory air conditioning. Vacuum lines and
actuators look like they've been replaced. It has the correct AC
fuel filter, ignition shielding and fan shroud. It is dressed up
with some nice aluminum valve covers.
UNDERSIDE: It was restored and detailed. The front-end steering and
the suspension looks brand new. It has independent rear suspension
that was also rebuilt including a new spring, shocks, and bushings.
It has disc brakes at all four wheels, e-brake is hooked up.
Looking up at the motor it's clean Chevy Orange, original style
starter. Correct Turbo 400 automatic. It has its original 3.07 posi
rear end with the correct dates and codes. The fiberglass floors
are clean raw fiberglass, not spray painted over. The spare tire
carrier is in great shape. The frame is rock solid, painted a
semi-gloss black.
SERVICE: We inspected the car and charged the a/c, tightened the
belt, repaired vacuum hose connections for the headlights, replaced
the wiper motor.
This Corvette roadster really impressed me. It would cost far more
than what we're asking to restore one as good as this. Great
looking 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 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.
