Description of 1964 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible |
You are bidding on a project I bought 13 years ago, began work to restore as a driver, never got finished, and now am selling to make room for my other projects. I recently sold my shop building and need the room. The car was running/driving when I bought it but had several coats of burgundy and red paint. I owned a car business until 2 years ago and we sold and restored classics. My intention was always to do a light restoration and to keep it for myself but I now have way too many cars to store and keep without my shop. Paint needs finished: Our shop began the restoration, we got as far as stripping, cleaning up the body, primer, a few coats of red paint and some parts cleared before our guy left for another job. So someone will need to re-coat the paint including the cleared parts (doors, hood, top) so everything will match due to time passing. The good news is that the body is in pretty good shape and I don't see any cracks....just needs someone to finish it. Comes with 2 engines: I bought it with a strong running sb Chevy which I was told had been bored, punched and cammed 6k miles before I bought it. I didn't like the engine and had a donor 64 Chevelle SS with the correct 327 block (3782870) ....so I had it rebuilt a few years back to eventually put in the car when I was done with everything else.... we never got there obviously. Both engines come with the car and have been stored inside our shop the whole time. I would recommend checking them thoroughly before re-installing as they have sat for a few years. Comes with a 63 Hardtop and a white soft top that fabric is in fair condition at best. Options: AM/FM Radio & Power Steering, 4speed transmission (haven't checked vin for originality.)Trim tag indicates Riverside Red with Black interior.
In summary, If I had the space and time I would eventually make a nice driver out of this car. With the original motor long gone and the other non-original parts (newer taller seats, different hood, top etc) the car will have a hard time ever being a top dollar show car but certainly could make someone a fun, comparatively inexpensive project. . Ask any questions prior to bidding please!!! Keep in mind.... shipping and transport, which the buyer is responsible for, will cost extra as there are many parts which aren't attached and will need to be handled carefully.If you are local, I welcome you to come look before you bid. The winning bidder will pay in full within 72 hours of auction end but will have 14 days to pick up or get shipped. $50/day thereafter storage fee. Full payment within 72 hours is to be in cash or bank wire transfer only !!!.... Once funds are verified (including bank wire !!!) I will FedEx overnight the title to you.$500 Deposit Immediately at Auction End so I know you were a serious bidder. Serious Buyers Only !!! Don't Bid If You Don't Have The MONEY !!! AS-IS !!!!! Absolutely no warranty or guarantee of any kind......So please understand that you are buying a project and I've done my best to describe the Corvette and its parts that come with it to the best of my opinion, which may or may not match your opinion.Feel free to email questions and if you are extremely serious I will provide my phone number if necessary. Thanks for looking! Joel |
