up for auction is a matching numbers 1969 Chevrolet corvette..close ratio M21.. its equipped with a 350 and 300 horsepowerand a 4 speed..the odometer shows approximately 32,000 but assume it has 132,000.. overall poor quality older paint job estimated at 25 to 30 years old.."This is a great driving car as is." it turns heads everywhere it goes but make no mistake this car is a "20 footer" because the paint and body are marginal..
If I was gonna keep this vette, I would just drive it like it is..It has great potential if someone wanted to strip it down, paint it and work it into a show car...condition good:rare removeable rear glass, frame is solid-light scale-bird cage solid-arch in front of rear wheels solid! brakes and tires are good...newer exhaust(looks like flowmaster)..sanyo cassette...
work done 5 years /2500 miles ago: rebuilt m21 4 speed, new clutch, rear differential had a whine and it was replaced (kept original for matching numbers..) state of the art r. mowe carbon fiber leaf spring..
in last 6 months 1000 miles:
dashlight switch, all synthetic oils/royal purple for 4 speed and royal purple for rear differential....points, caps, rotor, belts, rebuilt half shafts, accel super coil, valve cover gaskets have all been done
bad:clock inoperative, rear cargo and rear storagecarpet rough, headlight vacuum not strong enough to open headlights (must be manually lifted up). they probably need accuators which would run about $200 ..rear chrome bumpers rough, door panel old, 2 sets of bucket seats...
This car is a cool car that turns heads and is a blast to drive..will need a lot of work to be a show car. This car will have flaws as its a 45 year car ..please don't bid unless you are fully capable of paying for the car..very reasonable reserve..thanks for looking..
inspections and ?'s are welcomed and encouraged ..car is located in moun, Minnesota...please call craig at 612 685 4655..
