I've had it for over 2 years with hopes of fully restoring it, but haven't had the opportunity to complete it. As much as I would love to finish it up & keep it, reality has informed me that I need to free up some money. The 'Vette started life a 350 with an automatic, but sometime along the way a 1969 396 BBC was installed in its place (block code: 3955272). I have had many new parts installed myself to get it in its current state. The Monza clam shell front end and the 396 were installed prior to me. I since have had the motor rebuilt, adding in a performance cam; along with adding a 2200-2800 stall torque converter into the trans. It RUNS & DRIVES. It just needs someone who can finish up the body/paint; and then put the interior back in. Interior is in good shape (I have a few pics of what it looked like before it was removed, if needed). I have all of the interior pieces that come with the car (they were removed in order to get it ready for paint/bodywork. Some have been recovered and others are still in need of recovering or you could have them dyed to freshen them up; but again all of the interior parts are included: gauges, door panels, seats, carpet, visors, dash parts, trim pieces, etc. Dash piece has some cracks in it. Door panels look great. I also have all of the exterior trim pieces such as the corvette lettering across the rear, the trim around the windshield/t-tops, the rear bumpers, gas cap door, rear deck grilles, front lower foglight grilles, door handles, mirrors, etc. I do not have the front bumper though. Also included is all of the glass: windshield, both windows, & correct rear removable window. Checkout Video...
