HISTORY:

This VETTE was purchased by the current Texas owner in 1978 and put in storage in 1999 and was not removed from storage until the fall of 2012. The paint is not original but the car was painted prior to 1978. This car shows no sign of ever being in wrecked. Bumpers are straight and body has no visible cracks. The clutch was replaced in 1998 along with a few other parts prior to a long road trip. I see a few Corvettes advertised as all original but were missing a few parts. This car has not been driven more than a few miles since serviced. The tires are 1998 Vintage and are flat spotted a little. The Antique License plates expired several years ago but the insurance is up to date. This car was built in December 1961 and is a 327 with 4- speed transmission and has matching numbers. It looks like the engine has never been out of the car. Engine runs nice and smooth but due to the age I have not pushed it past 3000 RPM. Carburetor is a little touchy and likes to be primed prior to starting if left sitting for more than 4 days.

WORKING:

1.    TEMP GAUGE

2.    FUEL GAUGE

3.    SPEEDOMETER

4.    GENERATOR

5.    STARTER

6.    BRAKES

7.    STEERING

8.    TACH

9.    DASH LIGHTS

10.    RUNNING LIGHTS

13.    TRANSMISSION SHIFTS THRU ALL GEARS WITH NO GRINDING

The underside of the car and exhaust has a little surface rust from sitting in a garage for years but looks good otherwise. Engine runs smooth with no knocking. no lifter noise. no missing and no smoke.

1. WINDOWS

2. RUBBER
