DESCRIPTION
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.
