From the Greg Grams C-2 luxury and comfort Corvette collection.
Greg started selling these corvettes in the early 70s as used cars
and kept selling them as they became collector items. Recently he
has assembled an impressive collection of 1963-1967 Corvettes
focusing on air-conditioned coupes. He has run each one through our
shop and they are very functional and dialed in ready to enjoy. He
took the time to assemble display boards with miscellaneous
literature, NCRS shipping reports, window stickers and more. Each
car comes with a jack and spare. Since the early 70s when he
started collecting, these cars have not been known to go down in
value. Drive an investment!
Loaded with options and appeal! #s match and restored like factory
new. Don't take my word, it has won an NCRS Top Flight award 3
times! Judging sheets are included. Well, you can also take my word
because we have checked the numbers and codes too.
It has a crazy amount of documentation! It includes a detailed
owner history, restoration receipts, pictures of the owners,
letters from the owners and more. Here is the quick version:
It was sold new at Duff Chevrolet, Gilroy CA on January 26th 1965.
It was a birthday present from Dr Paddock to his wife Stella. She
owned the car until 1996, a total of 31 years. We even have a
picture of her in the car. She and her new husband traded it in to
Corvette Mike in Anaheim CA on a brand new 1996 Corvette, they were
given an $11,000 credit for the car. Corvette Mike sold the car on
August 26th, 1996 to the 2nd owner Richard Weirick, a 68 year old
man. He sells the car 14 years later in 2010 when he's 82. Then it
goes on to have a couple more owners, it leaves California for the
first time in 2013. The 5th owner went on to have the car judged
and it earned 3 Top Flight awards.
EXTERIOR: Stunning good looks! Take a minute to admire the body
lines then look at what the coupe adds to the beauty. The sloped
back boattail rear with a curved window is killer. The body on this
car is excellent. I did not see any cracks or damage. The doors fit
spot on and close like a new car. The headlights open and close
properly. Repainted its original Regal Red color which is polished
to a smooth glossy finish. The paint job will make your mouth water
although there are some minor flaws if you look for them. The
chrome sparkles, the glass is clear. The optional side exhaust
looks new, it also sounds amazing! Of course, the knock off wheels
are a "knock out"! They also look new and are wearing reproduction
BFG Silvertown redline tires.
INTERIOR: It is in excellent shape and has some very desirable
features. My favorite is the genuine leather upholstery on the
seats which is in excellent shape. A very close 2nd is the
beautiful teakwood wheel on a rare telescopic column. Then there's
the power windows which makes life a little easier and makes this
car that much more special. The most expensive option is the
automatic trans which makes driving effortless. The entire dash
area: dash pads, gauges, knobs, glovebox are all excellent. The
gauges all work including the clock. It has its original Am-Fm
radio and seatbelts. Fresh carpet front to back. The jack and lead
hammer for the spinners are in the rear compartment. Overhead is
mint too. Interior lights work.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: It looks just like it would have in 1965,
correct and detailed. It has its original VIN matching 327-300 hp
motor. We even verified the casting codes and dates on the back of
the motor. It has stock manifolds, valve covers, dual snorkel air
cleaner and ignition shielding. It has the correct carb, choke tube
and fuel filter. The cooling system looks correct and clean. It has
reproduction hoses and clamps. Power steering and brakes are two
more very desirable options. This car is a pleasure to drive, not a
chore!
UNDERSIDE: It looks like a frame off restoration it's so clean
under here. The frame and chassis components are smooth California
metal with a semi-gloss black finish. The floors are raw fiberglass
in excellent shape. It has independent suspension front and back
which looks completely rebuilt. The steering looks rebuilt too.
This is the first year for disc brakes and it is at all 4 wheels.
The e-brake is hooked up. Looking up at the motor it is spotless
Chevy Orange and has the correct canister type oil filter and lower
ignition shielding. The Powerglide automatic trans is spotless, I
am sure it was out and serviced or rebuilt. It has its correct rear
end with 3.36 gears.
SERVICE: We inspected this car and it passed with flying colors,
all we had to do was repair a wire to the Amp gauge!
It's hard to pick a favorite from the collection but this is a top
contender. Just look at its stunning beauty, art on wheels.
Actually, I don't understand art, this is way better! Then you go
for a drive and enjoy all the options that make this Corvette
special. Move a couple years into the future and realize that the
Corvette you have loved and cherished has gone up in value. What
are you waiting for?
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.
