1965 Corvette Conv, manual trans, 454 big block, with both conv & hard tops

1965 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible. Appears to be all original except the engine; the original was a 327 and has been replaced with a 454 big block (casting number is 14015445).The paint and interior is in great shape, all gauges work properly. The 4 speed transmission and clutch work smoothly; as do the headlights. The convertible top is in great shape (9 out of 10). Engine compartment is clean with aluminum radiator. As shown, the car has a "stinger hood", side pipes, red line tires and rally's all in excellent shape. All chrome is in great shape. The bottom side of the car appears to be original, with only flaking paint on frame. Surface rust noticeable on parts of the frame where paint is flaking, could be cleaned and painted. Also comes with a hard top, whichneeds to be repainted (not the same color as vehicle), The sanding and blocking of the hard top has been done and it is ready to paint. I found this car I had to have it since Ihad owned a 1966 in the early 70's. I am several years older now and have difficulty getting in and out of the car. I can only enjoy looking at it.
