This Corvette was restored as a very nice drivable car; - It shows very well. NCRS enthusiasts will note the car has the following modifications:
It has a copper radiator instead of the Aluminum Harrison Rad.
The Seats are finished in Leather, however the trim tag indicates that they were originally vinyl. The exhaust is not stock, but instead is a chambered system with an "H" pipe added. The windshield has been replaced.
Owner does not have original window sticker, protecto plate, or original jack. The spare is original.

Runs well, drives well. Rebuilt with hardened valve seats and runs on pump gas. Tight, no rattles. Drives straight; you can brake hard with no hands on the wheel, and the car stops straight. The body is also very nice - no stress cracks, or evidence of substandard body repairs.

The reserve for this auction is set at $39,700. (Last time it was 42k.)
The car is available and on the market; I reserve the right to cancel the auction in the case it should sell before the auction ends.

Zero Feedback Bidders: Please email me before bidding - I may cancel your bid if I do not hear from you first.
