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.
