09/15/2014 1971 Corvette, originally a war bonnet yellow 454 LS5 car with auto trans. This came from FL so rust is not an issue. This car was drag raced, it has a 4 point roll bar that is done properly and is welded to the frame (was a 6 point but door bars were cut out at some point) The rear end has VBP adjustable strut rods, HD mounts, 3.90 gears, long wheel studs, and everything is tight. It has a Quickfuel electric fuel pump and a Holley regulator. The trans is a built TH400 with a Hughes 10 inch converter and SFI flexplate. The engine is a stock camaro 305 that was put in so that car could be moved around, it has an Edelbrock 600 carb and otherwise is stock. New Dynomax exhaust from a '79 Corvette so the mufflers need to be flipped and welded back on so the outlets will come out in the proper cutout areas. The engine does start right up but it is literally just dropped in, so will need a tuneup and finish work. The body of the car is straight but the paint is awful, looks ok from 10 feet but thats about it lol. Has a nice L-88 hood (the orig short style) the brakes work. Has pop out rear window, the interior is black and is mostly taken apart, missing one seat and center console pieces are broken, no center gauges, I have the e-brake and a bunch of misc interior parts for it. All the wiring needs attention through the whole car. The wheels are Western aluminum mags, The rear bumpers were removed at some point for a smooth look. (wasn't me!) I do have nice stock bumpers and the brackets so you can put them back on. I started to do it but didn't get very far.
This is a solid project car, frame is perfect and windshield frame also looks nice, no scale rust, no rot, just dirty and dusty. Most of the trim is just loosely in place so it will need some reassembly and a general going through, but thats the project part! The car has a clean FL title and it has a state Re-issued vin tag on it. |
