620 miles on meticulous body off frame restoration! This Vette is
gorgeous. Very rich colors, glove soft leather and an upgraded
cloth top. Numbers matching motor. It's a pleasure to drive with
the smooth running 327, optional automatic trans, power steering
and brakes.
EXTERIOR: Gorgeous, very rich looking factory color Glen Green. The
body and paint were just finished by a professional that's highly
regarded in the area. He believed it to be a no-hit body, it's
straight and fits right. The owner bragged about it having no
squeaks or rattles. The headlights open and close properly. It's a
deep, rich color and the metal flake is all laid out evenly. The
clear coat is polished like glass, it looks like you could reach
your arm right into it. The exterior chrome is new: the bumpers,
bowtie mirror, door handles, emblems, taillights, antenna, gas cap.
The weatherstrips were all replaced, the windshield is new.
headlights open and close It's really set off with a classy
Stayfast tan cloth convertible top. It has a painted hardtop in
need of a headliner and window. It is sitting on 15 inch rally
wheels with shiny new trim rings and new tires.

ENGINE COMPARTMENT: I just opened the hood and wow this is a very
freshly detailed engine compartment. It has its original matching
numbers 327-300 HP motor. We check the dates, casting codes and the
VIN number on the pad matches the car. The motor was completely
rebuilt and upgraded with a roller cam and lifters. It has correct
manifolds, valve covers, ignition shielding, air cleaner,
carburetor, fuel filter etc. It even has correct hoses and clamps.
2 very desirable options are power steering and power brakes. Every

down and powder coated. The chassis was put back together with
completely rebuilt suspension and steering. The power steering ram

rebuilt brake system with disc at all four wheels. New lines, hoses
and e-brake cables. Looking up at the motor it's spotless Chevy

correct Powerglide automatic trans has been rebuilt and detailed.
The drive shaft is rebuilt and connects to the original dated posi
rear end with fresh posi fluid. The raw fiberglass floors were
cleaned up very nicely. The tire carrier is complete and has a
spare inside.
SERVICE: We inspected this car and it passed through the shop
easily. We tightened the seat bolts, adjusted the lock rod and put
shorter screws in the grab handle.
CONCLUSION: I aquired this Vette from a local guy that I've known
for decades. He is very meticulous, I've bought a few cars from
him, all were great and went to happy customers. This one can make
you very happy!
