Vehicle Detail

Buyer has three weeks to remove the vehicle. NEW Pictures as the car Appears Today. Please look at Photo-Bucket for past pictures while the Corvette was in process of reaching where its at today. It's number matching and all original other than the frame. My relative saved the original manifold. I have had many questions regarding the body and its condition. The rust on the frame was the result of the car being stored on a wet concrete floor. The body/fiberglass /birdcage was unaffected. The body is in excellent condition and is the interior for the car's age. I planned on doing a complete restoration. Many have asked about shipping. Interested buyers will have to assist in lowering and removing the car. You may pay someone in the area to do this. I have sources for you to contact. I have added pictures of the body rails that should be sandblasted. I would fabricate a new piece for the drivers side. Someone asked if I had the old frame? Please look at all the photo bucket pictures. No it was cut up and discarded. I want this gone pick up time is not critical but payment is required. It's hung here for ten years what's a few more months. Thanks. The buyer will not be disappointed. 1972 Corvette Project Please Click on the PhotoBucket Link for all Pictures History: This car was in my family for the past 40 years. In 28 years, the corvette was driven less than 20,000 miles. The Corvette was always started and ran; however, it sat stored in a garage with a damp floor. Body has had no damage other than that bumper bolts rusted when removing it from the frame. I drove this car into my garage. The motor ran perfectly. The frame was in bad shape so I purchased a new frame in 2007. No air, 4 speed, not originally with power steering but the new frame is fully equipped and ready. The frame was described as follows: " . . . the frame is out of a 1969 . . .it has been media blasted and painted. The frame did have damage to the drivers side near the clutch bracket. It has been on a frame machine and is straight and true. There is no rot or sections that have repair for rust damage. There is over $5,000 worth of parts on the frame. Rebuilt rear end, rebuilt trailing arms, front suspension including all steering arms and steering cylinder, New Shocks, Rebuilt Steering box, Vette Brake System grand touring suspension with fiberglass rear spring . . . all new bushings and ball joints, rebuilt brake calipers with stainless pistons from Vette Brake Products . . New fuel tank, sending units, fuel lines rotors . . ." The motor ran well. As I mentioned, My relative always ran the car regularly while it sat in the garage. I decided to install New Lifters, Mild Cam, Rollers, Clutch, a Flywheel Balanced, Timing gear and Chain. The interior is that of a 43 year old car. Original. The dash is not cracked which provides for an easy update with covers and carpeting should you desire. I attempted to take a picture while it is suspended. Very dusty windows had to be down all these years. Rally wheels were sandblasted and painted. This is a great project but I have lost my youthful energy and therefore, Interest. The car will need to be transported out as pictured. Please Click Below for years of pictures: http://s1146.photobucket.com/user/DanielHostPictures/library/1972%20Corvette%20Project?sort=3&page=3
