Vehicle Detail
Car started as a 1968 Chevelle Convertible, auto 350 car, in great shape, owned by former professional athlete. When he blew the motor a couple years ago, he searched for something more, and found a damaged 2008 corvette with some more power. He sent the Chevelle to a local frame shop, and had a custom chassis constructed of steel as you see, so that the wheelbase would match that of the Chevelle, as the corvette was shorter. The corvette torque tube was custom made, and the front and rear suspensions were professionally attached to the custom made frame. This is a tedious and expensive process to get a car to this stage, this much you should be able to see. The Chevelle then went to a body shop for floors and new paint, as well as the fiberglass dash, this is also where the trunk lid, convertible top, and grill went missing. After much headache, he went and bought a new luxury sports car and left in one of his garages, where i picked it up. The guy i was going to have work on it is off filming a tv show somewhere, and i don't want to wait for his return, so i am putting it up for sale. Clean Florida title as a 1968 Chevelle, last 8 of vin are stamped on firewall, and fender tag is intact. Currently in project stage as you see, drivetrain (Auto and LS2) and body are mounted, the staggered 18/19 corvette wheels and tires are in amazing shape, frame work is truly a work of art. Power windows install was started as well. Car currently has piston powered vertical lift doors on, forgot to grab a picture with the doors up. It rolls and comes with a couple thousand in air ride and misc parts as you see in pictures, which include wiring harness, bumpers, ECU, battery ground and some AC lines. The body has no rust, and no previous body work, has a couple touch ups as you see to prep for new paint. I am only able to find record of one of these cars ever offered for sale completed, and it was last listed for sale at over $100k at Mecum and was on ebay at some point for $109k if memory serves me right. It is worth twice what i am asking just in parts, and should be an amazing car once someone takes the time to finish it. Please ask any questions, and serious buyers can call me at 845.633.3113 to discuss. Car can be stored through end of the month if needed once payment is made. Car is for sale locally and i reserve the right to end auction if sold locally. I would like to sell it straight out, but I will consider market ready late model car or boat in the 20k value range as comparable trade, no more projects for me, kid on the way. Thank you for looking.
