1957 Chevrolet Corvette convertible Description

Great '57 Corvette project car, including approximately $21,000 in parts. See detailed lists for what is included. I've been gathering parts for this one for months, and I believe I have almost everything to finish it except for a few minor things. This '57 has recently had a new front end from the doors forward very nicely installed. It has an extremely nice, solid '62 frame with no rust or damage, new tie rods installed, and very nice, tight steering. New tires on stock wheels and new hub caps. It still needs most brake parts. I was considering installing a disc brake system, so I haven't addressed any brake parts yet. A strong running 350" motor I removed from an SS Chevelle has been installed (see parts list), with a new clutch, along with a 1962 Borg Warner T10 4 speed transmission, Hurst shifter, and a new driveshaft. The doors, hood, trunk lid, and deck lid are hinged. Some very minor body work is still needed. Almost all of the major parts are included, saving you the difficulty, time, and expense of locating all of these hard to get items. See the itemized lists of what is included. Nice hood, fuel tank cover, and new trunk lid are included, just not pictured. A new aftermarket electric windshield wiper system is also included. Includes a complete new interior: new seat upholstery on very nice original frames and tracks, new door panels, new kick panels, new carpeting, etc. Also includes a new in the box completely assembled Stayfast convertible top assembly. Clear title in hand. VERY reasonable reserve. Call me for a walk around complete description..... Joe @ 801 455 2467 or 801 571 8580. More pictures upon request.
