exhaust manifolds, factory chrome shielded distributor, with all
sitting in a great looking engine compartment and chassis with all
the right parts, you will know that this Corvette was built right
and meant to run.
The 4-speed transmission is also the original with the cars VIN
correctly stamped onto the side case.
The rear differential is correctly dated and is believed to be the
original. Its rare to find a car where the entire drive train is
correct and original but in this case its all original and numbers
matching.
This car runs and drives great with strong power, smooth solid
brakes.
Interior
The dark green interior is also in beautiful condition with the
factory dash being very original and in spectacular condition. The
gauges are crisp and in good working condition along with the
original clock, radio and horn.
The seats, door panels are all in great condition and have been
replaced due to age. Overall, the interior is very fresh looking
nice.
The new Al Knock top that is dated correctly for the car. The
combination of Mosport green, dark green interior, tan top and Gold
line tires are very striking and rare.
The center console houses the 4-speed shifter with the radio in
place there too.
Exterior
The exterior of the car is beautiful and has that Mosport Green
paint and both the body and paint work on this car is high quality.
All of the body panels are straight and align very good for a
roadster.
The paint work is base/clear and is highly polished to a mirror
finish with the chrome being professionally re-chromed and is
better than new quality. Stainless, emblems and brightwork is all
in beautiful condition. All the glass in this car is dated original
too.
The undercarriage is also not rusty anywhere. This car is a western
car and has never been subject to a corrosive climate. The rear
suspension has been rebuilt with coated swing arms, bearings, tie
rods and bushings.
All four brake calipers and shocks have also been replaced. The
exhaust system from the manifolds back is new stainless-steel pipe
with correct looking e stainless mufflers with chrome tips through
