History: This car was in my family for the past 40 years. In 28 years, the corvette was driven less than 20, 00 miles. The Corvette was always started and ran; however, it sat stored in a garage with a damp floor. Body has had no damage other than that bumper bolts rusted when removing it from the frame. I drove this car into my garage. The motor ran perfectly. The frame was in bad shape so I purchased a new frame in 2007. No air, 4 speed, not originally with power steering but the new frame is fully equipped and ready. The frame was described as follows:

" . . . the frame is out of a 1969 . . .it has been media blasted and painted. The frame did have damage to the drivers side near the clutch bracket. It has been on a frame machine and is straight and true. There is no rot or sections that have repair for rust damage. There is over $5, 00 worth of parts on the frame. Rebuilt rear end, rebuilt trailing arms, front suspension including all steering arms and steering cylinder, New Shocks, Rebuilt Steering box, Vette Brake System grand touring suspension with fiberglass rear spring . . . all new bushings and ball joints, rebuilt brake calipers with stainless pistons from Vette Brake Products . . New fuel tank, sending units, fuel lines rotors . . ."

The motor ran well. As I mentioned, My relative always ran the car regularly while it sat in the garage. I decided to install New Lifters, Mild Cam, Rollers, Clutch, a Flywheel Balanced, Timing gear and Chain. The interior is that of a 43 year old car. Original. The dash is not cracked which provides for an easy update with covers and carpeting should you desire. I attempted to take a picture while it is suspended. Very dusty windows had to be down all these years. Rally wheels were sandblasted and painted. Not pictured but on the car now

This is a great project but I have lost my youthful energy and therefore, Interest. The car will need to be transported out as pictured.
