Car history:
Posted 01/25/2020 In 1964 I purchased from an insurance company, a 1964 Chevrolet Corvette convertible that had been stolen and had its engine and transmission removed. (Vin# 40867S103144) There was also considerable body damage. My father owned a very prestigious auto body repair shop where I worked. Over the next five years I installed the following: Chevrolet 409 engine High performance cam with solid lifters High performance intake manifold Twin carburetors Custom exhaust system with cutouts Aluminum four speed transmission Custom dashboard Custom upholstery Custom seats Custom steering wheel Custom body I converted the body from a convertible to a hardtop with a removable roof. The roof when not installed fits behind the seats. The body was completely custom built and not a kit body. There are no other vehicles like this one. I retained all of the Corvette inner panels and door mechanisms. The steering, suspension, windshield, drivetrain are all standard Corvette and parts are readily available. I built the automobile to be driven on the street and not a show car. I did however enter it in several shows where I took first place. Because of work related issues I drove the vehicle less than 300 miles when I parked it in a barn and it has not been driven for the last 50 years. The car will require work to be driven. The body is in excellent condition but has some paint chips. The tires are dry rotted and several have blown out. The aluminum wheels are pitted. There is some upholstery mouse damage. The rubber items like radiator and brake hoses will have to be replaced. Battery is missing. The driver door glass is cracked. I have no idea what the engine will require.
