INTRODUCTION: This is a 4 time Top Flight award winner! We even
have the judging sheets, it scored 98.2/100 the last time it was
judged by the experts. So you can rest assured that this Corvette
has integrity. Very desirable features and colors too!
EXTERIOR: Here is a rare circumstance where the coupe is more
desirable than the convertible! They made less of them and are
considered to be one of the best looking designs of all time. This
one has excellent fit and finish, the doors click shut and the
headlights open and close properly. It's repainted its original
silver pearl color, the metallic is laid out evenly and is polished
to a smooth glossy finish. Overall the chrome and trim is straight
and shiny. It has correct antenna, bowtie mirror, T3 headlights and
even a reproduction dated windshield. The weatherstrips and seals
were replaced. Probably my favorite part and a must on one of these
Corvettes is the side exhaust system, it makes beautiful music when
you're shifting those gears down the road. I also love the knock
off wheels, these look brand new and they're wearing gold line
radial tires.
INTERIOR: It is practically brand new inside! The seats have been
recushioned and upholstered, the door panels are mint, the carpet
front to back was replaced and fits real nicely. The headliner,
visors and mirror are excellent. The gauges look like they've been
restored, they all work including the clock. It has the correct
6000 red line tachometer which is correct for the L79 motor. The
correct AM/FM radio works, the interior lights work, it has the
correct reverse lockout shifter. It includes reproduction floor
mats, embroidered mats, proper jack and lead hammer for the knock
offs. All the little bits and pieces the window cranks, screws,
knobs, seatbacks, seat belts etc are all looking excellent.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: It is detailed like factory new under the hood
as well! It has three highly desirable features: power steering,
power brakes and the L79 high performance motor. We have taken
pictures of the casting codes, dates and VIN number stamp pad. They
all match but you don't have to take my word for it seeing as how
its been judged four times. The L79 included 11:1 compression, a
forged steel crankshaft, high compression pistons, hydraulic cam,
free-flowing heads, a high rise aluminum intake, a Holley four
barrel carb, open element air cleaner and finned valve covers. It
has the correct components throughout. The cooling system has the
correct dated radiator and expansion tank, reproduction hoses and
clamps. It is detailed to what it would have looked like sitting on
the showroom floor in 1966!
UNDERSIDE: The body was off the frame and it was correctly restored
and detailed. The independent suspension front and back was
completely rebuilt. The steering was rebuilt too. It has disc
brakes at all four wheels, that system was rebuilt including the
e-brake assembly. The lines and hoses were replaced. Looking up at
the motor it is spotless Chevy Orange with the correct canister
type oil filter, the lower ignition shielding and the proper
starter. The Muncie 4-speed transmission is number matched to this
car and has been serviced and detailed. The drive shaft is rebuilt
and the proper assembly line markings were duplicated. It goes back
to its original rear end with the proper dates and codes and 3.70
posi gears. The raw fiberglass floors are the cleanest I've ever
seen and it's complete with the spare tire carrier. The chassis is
detailed in smooth semi gloss black and the assembly line
markings.
SERVICE: We take pride in our cars and reputation. Therefore, we
built a 2 million dollar, 10,000 square ft service center, and
hired a team of technicians to work it. This is so we can sell you
the best cars within reason.
CONCLUSION: You can buy this one with all the confidence! After
being scrutinized and judged by the experts it was awarded as one
of the best. It functions as good as it looks. Please don't let it
sit, get out and enjoy it!
For nearly 30 years, I, Jay Grams, have personally written the
highlights for almost every car in our collection. What I provide
is my professional opinion based on my experience with these
vehicles. However, opinions can vary, and I strongly recommend a
personal inspection to form your own view. Our sales team is always
available to answer any questions you may have. One great option is
to request a personalized walk-around video, where we can showcase
the car and share our team's insights. **Our cars are displayed
within a museum setting. If you are interested in a specific
vehicle, please schedule an appointment with a salesperson to view
it. Without an appointment, there is an admission fee to enter the
showroom. If you decide to purchase a car, your admission will be
refunded, and you'll receive a one-year museum membership.
