Loaded! The combination of factory a/c with a 350 hp and a 4-speed
is rare. Throw in power steering, brakes, and windows along with
the other options and this is a very rare car. The coupes are
harder to find and actually more valuable than a convertible
because of their sleek body lines. A thick file of restoration and
maintenance receipts are included.
EXTERIOR: Fantastic looking coupe with the curved back window and
boattail back end! The body is in very good condition. It is
straight and fits right. The headlights open properly, and the
doors shut like new. Beautiful Trophy Blue has a smooth glossy
finish. There are stress cracks on the windshield pillars. The
glass looks very good and the weatherstrips were replaced. The
chrome presents itself well, some new and some original. It does
have brand new knock off wheels we just installed.
INTERIOR: I'm sitting in the car and it's really fresh in here. I
first noticed the seat I'm sitting on has new cushions, the new
upholstery does not have a wrinkle. In front of me is new dash pads
and a very clean instrument panel. The gauges look great and all
function, it has the correct 6,000 redline tachometer for the 350
hp motor. The knobs are new, and it has it's correct AM FM radio
with a power antenna. The center console is in mint shape and its
home to power window switches and the correct 4-speed shifter. It
had its original Chevy bowtie seat belts. New carpeting front to
back, the jack is in the rear compartment. The door panels and
headliner were replaced. The interior lights work, clock does
not.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Here is something you do not see that often: a
high performance 350 hp motor sitting right alongside factory air
conditioning, power steering and power brakes. It is the VIN number
matching motor; we also check casting codes and cross reference the
dates. The motor was rebuilt, new pistons etc. It has its correct
parts: aluminum intake, chrome air cleaner, ignition shielding, and
finned aluminum valve covers. The intake was blasted with glass
beads to look fresh. The cooling system appears to be correct it
even has reproduction hoses and clamps and correct expansion tank.
The air conditioning was rebuilt and converted to R134 freon at a
cost of $2500 in 2019.
UNDERSIDE: It has front and rear independent suspension and it all
appears fresh. The steering looks fresh too. It has the optional
off-road exhaust that sounds great. There are disc brakes at all
four wheels and tires the e-brake cables look new. The front
calipers were replaced in 2021. Looking up at the motor it is clean
Chevy Orange. The starter and fuel pump look new, it has correct
canister type oil filter. It has it's correct Muncie 4-speed and
original 3.36 posi dated and coded to this car. The frame and
chassis components are solid metal painted black. The fiberglass
floors are in excellent shape and the spare tire carrier is
complete.
SERVICE: We inspected the car and fixed the glovebox light,
replaced heater control valve, charged the a/c, replaced fuel gauge
and sending unit, replaced interior light bulbs, repaired door
locks and installed a new set of wheels.
This is a special car thanks to all of its factory features. The
features make it a pleasure to drive and the rarity of them all
makes it sought after with the Corvette collectors which equals
cha-ching!
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.
