1966 Chevrolet Corvette 427 4 Sp Conv - Finish It

1970MotionNova · #1 05-08-2008, 10:41 PM

I have a friend with a 1966 Chevrolet Corvette 427 4 speed convertible car that is complete numbers matching, and is a Black/Black original car. The car has been taken all the way down to the frame and brought back up. The motor and transmission have been totally redone and are already reinstalled back in the car. This is a radio/heater delete car and the only thing that is not original on the car is the alternator. They got a estimate on how much it would take in parts to complete the car(door handles, etc) and it is around $5000.00. The body of the car has been gel coated and is ready for paint. He is asking $80,000 firm for the car. If you got this car and spent the money on the paint job and the $5,000 in parts you would be sitting pretty nicely in a completely restored Vette for a fraction of the cost to buy one complete. I am going to get pics of this car on Firday and I will create a Photobucket folder and link it to this post so you can see pics of the car. If you have any questions please feel free to ask.

Thanks, Jeff H.

OK, more information on the Vette. I was supposed to go and take pics of the car today but it didn't work out. I will go in the morning to get pics and I will link the pics to this auction. Here is some things I have found about about the Vette so hold on for the ride......lol. To start with the car does have documentation. The warranty book and the Protect-O-Plate is with the car. The car is a original 411 Rear end car with Posi-traction. It of course has the 4 barrell carb on it. It has the 184 Exhaust which is very sought after. It has a roller cam in the motor, custom ground but not too radical. Motor has been bored and has picked up about 9 cubic inches. He also mentioned port batching, and I am sure you guys know what that means. It also has bigger valves installed. He said this 425HP car will out run the 435HP cars. He said it should only take about 1.5 to 2 weeks to complete this car. It also has full interior that comes with the car and the body has been gel coated and is ready to be painted. Talked to several people today and they said completed this car should bring $150,000. Buy it for $80,000 Firm, paint the car and buy the chrome parts needed for the car and you would have one of the most desireable triple black Corvette's for a fraction of the cost. If your interested give me a email. I will update this link as soon as I get the pics.

Thanks, Jeff H.

Probably 'port matching'. Meaning the intake manifold ports have been matched to the heads.

New update on the Corvette here. I went today to take pics of the car and found a few suprises. For the first thing the trunk, hood, pocket, doors, everything but the body of the car has already been painted black. Good lord do they look good!!!! The guy who is painting the car so far said that the car is going to look amazing. He said it should look good because it is being painted in a $300,000 paint booth from Italy. He said it will only take 1 time to paint the car with the booth he is using. I have also taken pleanty of pics of the body of the car and the frame with the motor and tranny already sitting in it. This car is going to be a knock out when it is finished. The price is $80,000 firm and if you actually want to have them finish it here add another $15,000 and you will get a totally completed turn key car, your choice. All the interior pieces come with the car and the bumpers are brand new and they come with the car also. If you have any questions please feel free to ask. I have had tons of emails about this car and thought if I updated the form then everyone could see it. Just click below.

where are the tags?

1970MotionNova · #10 05-11-2008, 11:35 PM

I will be adding pics of the tags to the auction probably tomorrow. The tags were at the guys business in his safe and he is sending me pics of them. Soon as I get the pics I will add them to the photobucket folder. Some of the pics didn't come out clear and you can not read the numbers. If you click on the picture and supersize it I have the numbers written in under the pics.

Thanks, Jeff
