69 Chevy Corvette Stingray, NOM Big Block, 54,000 miles, T-Tops, power steering. I purchased this from the previous owner who had the car for over 12 years and gave me a 3-ring binder with over $16,000 in receipts for purchases to restore the car. The frame on this C3 vette is one of the best I have ever seen; no rust anywhere. Same goes for the birdcage and a pillars. The engine was new in may of 2010 and has KB forges pistons, new rods, rings, cam, lifters, balanced and assembled for $1950. The heads were surfaced and a complete valve job for $715. The interior is nearly all new. Headlights, wipers and all the gauges work. Even the clock was rebuilt and keeps time. I believe the mileage to be correct as the owner told me it was and the 10 year old Kelly Charger tires look like new. Car runs and drives like new and cruises at highway speed comfortably with a lower ratio posi rear end. There is only one issue with the car. The transmission shifts fine and accelerates without slipping in all gears. When using engine braking to decelerate in 3rd gear the shifter comes out of gear back into neutral. Again, all shifting is fine and you can drive in 3rd gear with no noise, but it slides out upon decelerating. I didn't find it was a big enough hassle that warranted removing the tranny at this point. Simply resting your hand on the shifter prevents it from sliding out. Call Randy at 607-351-4660 as this is my wife's account and I don't check the email as often.
