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.

Looking up at the motor it\'s spotless Chevy orange with correct lower ignition shielding and starter. The 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!
