This is a #s matching, body off frame restored Corvette. The 427-390 hp was upgraded with a factory tri-power making it 400 hp.

EXTERIOR: Look at this sleek flowing lines on this roadster! It has the raised hood which is an indicator of the big block motor underneath it. The body is in excellent shape, no damage and it fits nice. It is repainted it's original Fathom Green metallic which is polished smooth and glossy. The chrome is straight and shiny, it as a correct antenna and optional louver inserts in the front fenders. The tires are BF Goodrich custom made red lines with 15x8 rally wheels that have new shiny trim. Great looking tan convertible top. The top frame was painted, weather strips were replaced.

INTERIOR: The tan interior looks fantastic against the Fathom Green. It is very tidy throughout. Sit in the car and you will notice nice firm cushions in the reupholstered seats. You'll be looking at a beautiful dash: all the gauges, lenses and controls are clean. It has a retro stereo right in the factory location, box speakers sit in the back. Original type reverse lockout shifter sticking out of the console which also has switches for the power windows. The carpet was replaced front to back. Door panels look new. It also has a tilt-telescopic wheel.

ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Under the hood is the original, # matching 427-390 hp motor. It's been upgraded with the factory tri-power system bringing it to 400 hp. It has correct carbs, fuel lines, intake, air cleaner, valve covers etc. It has been upgraded with a set of headers. Other than that it is stock including the ignition shielding and braided stainless plug wires. The cooling system all looks proper. All the components look fresh and proper. It's very detailed in the engine compartment.

UNDERSIDE: The body was off the frame during restoration. It has independent front and rear suspension which was completely rebuilt. The steering was rebuilt. It has four wheel disc brakes which were also redone, e-brake cables are hooked up. It's a great sounding dual exhaust with Flowmaster mufflers and the polished tips going through the valance. Looking up at the motor it is clean Chevy Orange. It has a correct Muncie 4-speed transmission. The rear end is the original dated coded 3.70 posi specific for a 427 motor. The chassis is clean solid metal. The fiberglass floors are not damaged, it's been painted semi-gloss black. The spare tire carrier is in place.

SERVICE: We inspected this car and ended up fixing the reverse lights, installed wiper arms and blades, repaired the horn, repaired turn signals, replaced the temp sensor and fixed a low beam light.

A # matching, frame off restored roadster with a 427, tri-power, 4-speed and a 3.70 posi! Not only is that an incredible investment but sounds like a bunch of fun too!

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.
