Please do not buy this car to let it sit, it is dialed in to be
driven and enjoyed! What could be better than shifting that
5-speed, opening up all 3 carbs on top of that 502 and hearing the
rumble of the side exhaust! This is beautifully restored to look
factory new although it has several very appreciated concealed
upgrades.
EXTERIOR: Wow, what a looker! The lines of the coupe, the stinger
hood, wheels and side exhaust combine to make a drop dead gorgeous
car. The body is in excellent shape, no damage. It fits really
nice, doors click shut, headlights open and close properly. The
stinger hood is one of the best-looking designs! Repainted its
original Glenwood Green metallic and it has a smooth clear coat
finish. The white stripe is painted smooth to the touch. The
chrome, stainless trim, emblems, bow tie mirror, correct antenna
are shiny. Not only does the side exhaust add to its aggressive
looks, but the sound is awesome. The side exhaust is 3 inches and
new too. It's rolling on what looks like a new set of cast aluminum
wheels. New Diamondback radial redline tires, a little fatter in
back.
INTERIOR: From carpet to headliner, it is practically like new,
very tidy with a great fit. All the gauges are mint, correct 6500
redline tachometer for a 427 Tri-Power. The odometer and the clock
were rebuilt. The original radio was rebuilt and upgraded to
Bluetooth. An upgraded dash speaker was installed along with 2
Undercover ll speakers behind the seats. 2 hidden USB ports were
installed to keep your phone charged. Upgraded with LED interior
lights under the dash. Seats have firm cushions, door panels are
mint, chrome knobs sparkle. Custom steering wheel looks original
but is smaller, easier to get in and out. The 5-speed has a correct
looking shifter.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: New ZZ 502 motor installed 12-2022, only 3,000
miles ago. It produces a whopping 508 hp and 580 lbs of torque!
They come with 4 bolt mains, forged crank, rods and pistons and
aluminum heads. Of course, this one is topped off with a completely
functional factory tri-power carb set up. It's dressed like stock
with correct air cleaner, valve covers and even ignition shielding.
Reproduction hoses and clamps. Upgraded aluminum radiator with
stock shroud and clutch fan. The engine compartment is detailed and
proper.
UNDERSIDE: Under this Vette looks exceptionally clean and proper.
They feature independent suspension front and back, the components
are functioning properly. Upgraded with EZ electric power steering
with a speed sensor that automatically adjusts based on the
vehicle's speed. Disc brakes at all four wheels, rebuilt 5-2023.
E-brake is hooked up. Looking up at the motor it still looks fresh.
New Tremec TKX 5-speed trans upgrade along with clutch and
driveshaft. Original dated rear end with 3.08 posi gears. The metal
chassis was prepped and painted. The fiberglass is in great shape
including the spare tire carrier.
SERVICE: We inspected the car and repaired the driver's door latch,
horns, and passenger door lock.
This is an example of one of the best cars of all time and made
even better! Carefully preserved authentic looks with some upgrades
that will make driving it the ultimate experience!
I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for
virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant
amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my
professional impression of the vehicle. Our salesmen are happy to
assist with descriptions and making sure your questions are
answered. One great suggestion is letting us do a walk around video
that explains the car's condition in detail. **These cars are
displayed in a museum. If interested in a particular car, make an
appointment with a salesman to see that car. Without an appointment
there is an admission fee to enter the showroom. If you buy a car,
your admission will be refunded, and you will be given a 1 year
membership.
