The manual convertible soft top is in excellent condition.

The interior is also in excellent condition. There are no cracks in the seats. The door panels are in very good condition.

The top of the dash is like new.

This is an older frame on restoration, and is showing just some slight wear around the gauges and ignition switch. The gauges are clear, they are not cracked, that's a reflection of the steering wheel.

You can see there is no sign of rust in the door area and A pillars are very solid and rust free.

The original radio works as does the power antenna.

The original clock is actually working and keeping good time.

The 4 speed transmission shifts well.

The odometer shows 10,861, but we don't know the true mileage.

The original vin tag and trim tag are in place and show that everything is correct on the car.

You can clearly see the block is stamped with the partial vin and codes out to be the 396/425hp block.

The Holley carburetor codes out to be the correct one for the car.

There is the trap door to get to the battery.

The K66 transistorized ignition is in place as it should be. These are often missing on these cars.This item was required by GM with the purchase of this L78 engine.

Under the car in the spare tire holder is the 5th Kelsey Hayes Wheel.

All wheels are marked with the date and K-H Codes

The original exhaust system finally gave in to age and was just replaced with the GM correct system for this car.This was just done within the last 2 weeks.

Included with the the 396/425 engine package, were heavier front coil springs, larger stabilizers and better rear suspension.

Enjoy some of our close up shots below.

Functional finned louvers were added.

The blacked out grill was new to these cars.

The Kelsey Hayes Knock off wheels are wrapped in B.F. Goodrich Silvertown tires, 7.75-15 4 ply front and back.

These cars are becoming extremely collectible. This is your opportunity to own one of the only 1275, Goldwood Yellow, Corvette big blocks built in 1965.
