What a Great Story on the car!
He owned it about 35 years ago!
Sold it to a local friend and bought it back several years ago!
He restored the car to drive and enjoy!
We have a picture of his son in the car from way back when!
Here are some detailed high resolution pictures:
The car was an original blue car with a Powerglide trans
It was an original non sidepipe car and we still have the rear valence and it was painted when the car was painted.
Paint and body was redone about 10 years ago
The interior was redone just a few years ago with a Mid America Corvette interior kit with leather.
The white convertible top is newer. It is not a power top.
It does have Two Tops. The hard top is older but was painted when the car was, it’s in good condition but needs some of the inner trim pieces.
Newer carpet throughout the cockpit
Seats recovered
Engine is a 350 block bored +.060 over
New Dewitt Aluminum radiator
Dual electric cooling fans
HEI cable drive distributor
New Steroids Rack and pinion steering system
After market gauges in the glove box
Adjustable Overdrive converter lock up switch in glove box as well
So the paint is about 10 years old. In very good condition. Not perfect, but very nice. The car is very straight and a NO HIT BODY!
The interior is in great shape.
Condition
Overall the car is extremely nice, especially given that it is a 52 year old car. As far as we can tell it has only had one re paint and all of the fiberglass IS ORIGINAL. Very clean car overall but I would not call it a perfect show car. It’s more of a fun cruiser style car, not really a full blown frame off restoration. The underside is very clean and detailed though.
The engine starts up quick, doesn’t smoke, good oil pressure. Has a nice rumble. It’s NOT too loud. It’s more of a cruiser type car.
Here are the “picks” I have.
It does have a few chips here and there, but keep in mind the paint is about 10 years old on a car that is 52 years old, so that has to be expected. The paint is older and has a few minor blemishes here and there, but I do mean minor. They do not show up in pictures.
The bumpers are not show shine shiny, but are in good shape, just not new. If you are thinking show car, you will want to re chrome them.

Don’t just hit that BUY IT NOW BUTTON without talking with me as it will be yours whether you like it or not. Look at my feedback, whenever I sell something on Ebay I try to be as detailed as I can giving you a factual description to the best of my knowledge. I don’t gloss up and armor all everything to cover things up in pics. I may add a Buy it Now price during the auction and I will reserve the right to end auction early if necessary. If you are serious, you should bid early, don’t wait till the end, as you just might miss it! This is NOT your average 1965 Corvette.
