BOUGHT THIS VETTE 20 YEARS AGO AT THE KNOXVILLE VETTE EXPO. BROUGHT IT HOME, DROVE IT SOME, THEN GOT BUSY EXPANDING THE FARM OPERATION AND IT GOT PUT AWAY. I HAD ALWAYS THOUGHT OF BRINGING BACK THE ORIGINAL COLOR BUT THAT WAS SUPERCEDED BY THINGS THAT REQUIRED ATTENTION ON THE FARM. I HAVE RETIRED NOW AND SINCE I HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING AS FAR AS RESTORATION FOR THE LAST 20 YEARS, I DO NOT THINK IT WILL GET DONE SOON. I AM NOT AS YOUNG AND VIGOROUS AS I WAS 20 YEARS AGO AND I ENJOY WINTERS IN ARIZONA. AT ANY RATE I HAVE DECIDED TO GET IT OUT, CLEAN IT UP AND SELL IT. IT TOOK THREE SOLID DAYS TO GET THE DUST OFF AND GET IT PRESENTABLE. I WAS SOMEWHAT CONCERNED AS IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHED UNDER A COVER FOR ALMOST 20 YEARS. I HAD DRAINED THE GAS AND PUT STABIL IN THE TANK. THAT WAS OF COURSE GONE SO I FLUSHED THE TANK AND PUT SOME FRESH FUEL IN, GOT ME A BATTERY AND TO MY ABSOLUTE AMAZEMENT, I GOT IT RUNNING. ONE OF THE FUEL BOWLS LEAKS A LITTLE GAS BUT IT RUNS THE SAME AS IT DID 20 YEARS AGO. TRANSMISSION HAD LEAKED FLUID SO AFTER TOPPING IT OFF TRANNY WORKS AS ADVERTISED. IT WILL NEED SEALS. BRAKES ARE NON EXISTENT BUT I THINK THEY JUST NEED TO BE BLED. FRONT LIGHT CANS STILL WORK,RIGHT ONE NEEDS A LITTLE HELP. I HAVE TAKEN SOME PICTURES OF THE TAG NUMBERS AND HAD THE GLOVE BOX OUT TO INSTALL NEW DOOR. THE PICTURE INSIDE THE GLOVE BOX SHOWS THE AIR BOX AND VENT TUBES FOR THE AIR CONDITIONING. NUMBERS ARE AS FOLLOWS VIN 194376S106943, MOTOR #6106943 NOV/65 SUFFIX F 1122HO 11/22/65 INDICATING THE POWERGLIDE. I HAVE HEAD #'S LEFT K 205 11/20/65, RIGHT K 175 11/17/65. TRIM TAG NUMBERS PAINT 988 MILANO MAROON, TRIM STD BLACK VINYL. IT CAME WITH THESE OPTIONS A11 SOFT RAY TINTED GLASS, C60 AIR CONDITIONING, G 81 POSITRACTION REAR AXLE, M35 POWER GLIDE TRANSMISSION, N36 TELESCOPIC STEERING WHEEL, N40 POWER STEERING, U69 AM/FM RADIO, V74 TRAFFIC HAZARD LAMP SWITCH THE AIR CONDITIONING WITH THE AUTOMATIC WAS OFFERED IN 714 UNITS IN 65. PREVIOUS OWNER INSTALLED A FIBERGLASS REAR SPRING, AN AM/FM CASSETTE RADIO FROM ECKLERS THAT SAYS CORVETTE IN THE WINDOW, NEW TIRES, NEW DOOR PANELS AND A 67 "STINGER STYLE" HOOD. IT HAS AN EXCELLENT RUST FREE FRAME AND ALL ORIGINAL GLASS THE FIRST FIVE PICS ARE COPIES OF PHOTOS THAT I RECIEVED FROM THE PRIOR OWNER. THE REST I TOOK TODAY. THIS COULD BE A DRIVER QUALITY CAR WITH VERY LITTLE WORK OR A VERY HIGH QUALITY CORE FOR A COMPLETE RESTORATION. THESE ARE GETTING HARDER TO FIND AND I WILL START THE AUCTION AT 19.66 WITH NO RESERVE. I HAVE IT LISTED LOCALLY SO IF SOMEONE GIVES ME AN OFFER I CANNOT RESIST, I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO END THE AUCTION EARLY. CALL WITH ANY QUESTIONS.
