1965 CORVETTE COUPE-GRAN SPORT TRADITION - if you ain't 50 something you probably can't remember these cars on the street. these molded and widened creatures roamed the streets of many of our hometowns in the late 70's. Closing the door on GTX's Z- 28's TRANS AM'S and many other muscle cars of that era. This one has been found and was in storage for 20 plus years. Its been freshened up and is ready to rumble once again.If you are into "putting it back original" please click on another auction. If you want to have fun and grin the whole time you are behind the wheel of this beast, then read on............ yesterday I set the linelock and the whole car instantly filled up with tiresmoke inside, the most fun you can have sitting still!! gearheads love that smell.

THE WHEELIE BARS UNBOLT IN ABOUT 5 MINUTES. PERSONALLY I DONT LIKE THEM BUT THEY CAME WITH THE CAR. THE CAR LEANS MORE TOWARDS A STREET THUMPER FUN MACHINE THAT BEING SAID, YOU CAN DO WHATEVER YOU WISH WITH IT AND NOT HURT THE VALUE. IT HAS NOSTALGIC VALUE IN THAT IT WAS BUILT PROBABLY 30 YEARS AGO AND TUCKED AWAY FOR THE LAST 20!!! IT'S A VERY NEAT CAR THAT I FEEL IS WORTH MORE AS IT SITS THAN IF YOU TRIED TO TURN IT BACK INTO A STOCK VETTE COUPE. THESE OLDER VINTAGE RACE AND NOSTALGIC CARS ARE BECOMING MORE POPULAR IN THAT MOST OF THEM HAVE BEEN REDONE AND MADE STOCK AGAIN. THIS CAR IS PRICED SO THAT YOU CAN HAVE SO MUCH FUN, AND ENJOY IT WITHOUT BEING A PURIST. I CHANGED THE OIL, I WANTED TO SEE INSIDE THE INTAKE VALLEY SO WE TOOK IT OFF. IT HAS SPRING RETAINERS TO HOLD TENSION ON THE LIFTERS FOR HIGH RPMS. I WENT AHEAD AND INSTALLED NEW PUSHRODS AND REMOVED THE OLD STUD GIRDLES AND PUT ON A NEW SET OF ROLLER ROCKERS AND NEW POLYLOCKS FROM WARHAMMER. I HAVE DRIVEN THIS CAR ON THE STREET AND ITS FUN, ALSO WHILE WE WERE IN THERE WE INSTALLED A NEW SET OF POINTS(DUAL) AND A NEW CONDENSER IN THE VINTAGE ACCELL DISTRIBUTOR! (YEP, SHE STILL HAS POINTS).AS YOU DRIVE YOU CONSTANTLY GET MORE THUMBS UP THAN ANY CAR I HAVE BEEN IN LATELY!!! THE CAR IS LOCATED IN SOUTHERN WV NEAR BECKLEY ZIP IS 25854 PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CALL AND DISCUSS THIS CAR. I AM BUILDING A NEW HOME AND HAVE DECIDED TO SELL THIS FUN TOY .I LIKE TO WHEEL AND D EAL AND JUST NEED SOME CASH TO CONTINUE MY HOUSE PROJECT.

On Apr-25-10 at 20:00:46 PDT, seller added the following information: WHEN YOU FIRE UP THE ENGINE AT A CAR SHOW, FOLKS TEND TO GRAVITATE TOWARDS THE CAR! YESTERDAY A GUY AND HIS WIFE CAME TO LOOK AT A CAMRY I HAD FOR SALE, HIS WIFE WHO LOOKED 20 SOMETHING SAW THE BACK OF THE VETTE IN THE SHOP,, SHE ASKED IF SHE COULD SEE IT AND THEN WANTED TO SIT IN IT,,,,,,, SHE GOT IN, SAT DOWN, HOOKED UP THE SEAT BELT AND GRINNED........UMMMMMMMMMMMM...
