1975 CORVETTE CONVERTIBLE PROJECT CAR BARN FIND

1975 Chevrolet Corvette

1975 CORVETTE CONVERTIBLE 4-SPEED!!! ONLY 1 OF 1,057 CORVETTE CONVERTIBLES MADE IN 1975 WITH THE 4-SPEED MUNCIE ROCK-CRUSHER MANUAL TRANSMISSION. RARE. MILLE MIGLIA RED WITH A VERY NICE BLACK INTERIOR. RARE HARDTOP AND RARE REAR WINDOW DEFROST OPTION. POWER WINDOWS.
THIS CAR HAS A 350 ENGINE THAT WAS SUPPOSEDLY BUILT BY THE FAMOUS DON GARLITS DRAGSTER ENGINE BUILDER DEPARTMENT. THE CAR HAS BEEN SITTING STORED FOR MANY YEARS. I RECENTLY PUT A GOOD BATTERY IN IT, YET THE STARTER OR SOLENOID IS DEAD.
THE ENGINE HAS HIGH PERFORMANCE CAMEL BACK HUMP HEADS. IT HAS A HI-RISE WEIAND ALUMINUM INTAKE MANIFOLD AND HOLLEY DOUBLE PUMPER CARB. I PULLED ONE OF THE CORVETTE ALUMINUM VALVE COVERS OFF TO INSPECT THE INTERNALS, AND FOUND THIS IS HI-PERFORMANCE A "ROLLER" MOTOR. ROLLER ROCKERS. SO, I'M FIGURING IT WAS DEFINITELY A SUPER STRONG HI-PERFORMANCE ENGINE. MOTOR IS NOT SEIZED. IT TURNS FREELY BY HAND. COMPETITION HEADERS. I HAD A LOCAL MECHANIC FRIEND PULL THE SPARK PLUGS AND CHECK THE INSIDE OF THE CYLINDERS WITH AN ENDISCOPE. HE GAVE IT A CLEAN BILL OF HEALTH. BEING THE CAR HAS BEEN STORED AWAY IN A WAREHOUSE FOR MANY YEARS, HE SAID DON'T TRY TO START IT UNTIL YOU DROP THE GAS TANK AND CLEAN OUT ALL THE GAS LINES AND REPLACE ALL THE FILTERS, CLEAN THE CARB, FRESH TUNE-UP, ETC...
I AM OVER 60 YEARS OLD NOW AND BOUGHT THIS CAR A WHILE BACK HOPING TO RESTORE IT TO ITS FORMER GLORY ONE DAY. MY LOCAL HI-PERFORMANCE ENGINE GUY TOLD ME TO PULL THE ENGINE AND GIVE IT TO HIM, AND FOR LESS THAN $3,000 HE'D GIVE IT BACK TO ME FRESH. I CONTACTED THE DON GARLITS MUSEUM HERE IN FLORIDA, AND HE SAID TO HAVE THAT ENGINE REBUILT AGAIN BY HIS CREW MIGHT EXCEED $6,000 - AND - HE WAS BOOKED FOR MANY MONTHS WITH HIGH-DOLLAR ENGINE BUILDS BEFORE HE COULD EVEN TOUCH IT!
THIS CAR HAS THE HARD TOP. IT NEEDS A NEW CONVERTIBLE TOP. (I FOUND NEW CONVERTIBLE TOPS ON EBAY FOR AROUND $135.)
IT IS A RARE 4-SPEED CAR. I REALLY WANT TO KEEP IT BECAUSE IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN A DREAM CAR OF MINE. IT NEEDS A PAINT JOB TOO. MOST OF THE CAR IS NICE, YET IT SHOWS TYPICAL FLORIDA SUN DAMAGE. FUZZY AND FADED. INTERIOR IS MOSTLY VERY NICE FOR THE AGE.
IT HAS BEEN SITTING FOR SOME TIME, AND I HAVE TOO MANY OTHER DEMANDS ON MY LIFE AT THIS MOMENT TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS CAR. I HAVE BEEN TOLD IT WILL PROBABLY NEED ATTENTION TO THE BRAKES AFTER SITTING FOR SO LONG. (NEW CALIPERS ARE LIKE $95 EACH AT MY LOCAL AUTOZONE.) I HAVE A FRESH MASTER CYLINDER FOR THE BRAKES I'LL INCLUDE IN THE SALE. (MANY EXTRA PARTS INCLUDED IN THE SALE.)
I AM OFFERING THIS DREAM CAR FOR SALE NOW TO THE FIRST REASONABLE OFFER. NOTICE I SAID - REASONABLE!!I WILL NOT ENTERTAIN LOW-BALL OFFERS. I WILL ONLY SELL THIS CAR TO A REAL PERSON AFTER WE HAVE REAL COMMUNICATION AS WOULD BE EXPECTED IN AN OLD CLASSIC CAR SALE. THE PURPOSE FOR THIS, IS THAT I HAVE BEEN FORCED TO RE-LIST AN OLD ROLLS-ROYCE I HAD FOR SALE LAST CHRISTMAS AFTER I ENDED THE SALE EARLY TO FAKE BUYERS WHO GAVE REASONABLE OFFERS, THEN DISAPPEARED OFF THE MAP WHEN IT CAME TIME TO PAY UP. I HAD THE SAME EXPERIENCE WITH A RACE-BOAT. BUY-IT-NOW BIDDERS, THEN I END THE AUCTION, YET NEVER HEAR FROM THE DEADBEATS EVER AGAIN. I'M THROUGH WITH ALL THAT PHONY B.S.
YOU CAN CALL ME TO DISCUSS DETAILS AND VERIFY YOU ARE INDEED, A REAL BUYER. I ACCEPT CASH, BANK WIRE, ZELLE, POSTAL MONEY ORDERS, ETC... ALL NORMAL METHODS OF PAYMENT. I DO NOT ACCEPT PAYPAL!
I HAVE A LARGE 10 ACRE HORSE FARM IN FLORIDA LESS THAN AN HOUR NORTH OF THE PALM BEACH, FLORIDA AIRPORT. STORAGE IS NOT A PROBLEM. I HAVE A CUSTOM FIT CORVETTE CAR COVER FOR IT, SO IF YOU NEED TIME TO PAY IT OFF AND STORE IT UNTIL DELIVERY, I WILL TRY TO WORK WITH YOU WITH A STRONG DEPOSIT OR PAYMENT IN FULL. THE CAR WILL NOT LEAVE THE PREMISES UNTIL ALL FUNDS HAVE CLEARED AND BEEN VERIFIED.
I HAVE MANY NEW PARTS THAT WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE SALE. I HAVE A RARE SET OF BRAND NEW WHEELS AND CENTER CAPS AND TRIM RINGS. NEW!! NEVER BEEN USED EVER. I HAVE A FULL SET OF CONVERTIBLE TOP WEATHERSTRIPS, ETC... TIRES ARE SHOWING GREAT TREAD, AND HOLD AIR, YET BEING THEY ARE OLDER, FIGURE THEY WILL NEED REPLACEMENT AT SOME TIME BEFORE BEING A FULLY ROADWORTHY CAR AGAIN.
HURST 4-SPEED SHIFTER SEEMS TO GO THROUGH ALL THE GEARS EASILY. TIGHT. NOT SLOPPY. CAR ROLLS AND STEERS EASILY. EASY TO TRANSPORT.
I WILL HAPPILY PROVIDE ASSISTANCE TO GET HER LOADED UP. I HAVE A NEIGHBOR WHO WORKS WITH CENTRAL DISPATCH TO HELP GET YOU THE LOWEST SHIPPING PRICE AVAILABLE ANYWHERE. CALL AND GIVE ME A ZIP CODE FOR A QUOTE. INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING IS ALSO AVAILABLE. THE ROLLS-ROYCE WENT BACK TO ENGLAND AND THE RACE BOAT WENT TO MEXICO WITH NO PROBLEMS AT ALL.
THIS IS YOUR RARE, ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY TO GET THE DREAM CAR!!! THIS CAR IS SERIOUSLY FOR SALE NOW. CLEAN, CLEAR, OPEN TITLE IN HAND. THE 1ST PERSON TO STAND UP GETS THIS GREAT DEAL NOW!!! ACT NOW, BEFORE SOMEONE ELSE BEATS YOU TO IT!!!
P.S.- THE LAST PICTURE IS THE CAR I WANTED IT TO BE IN MY DREAMS! BUT - THAT CAR IS $59,000!!! THESE COOL OLD STINGRAY CONVERTIBLES ARE GUARANTEED TO RISE IN PRICE FOREVER!!! A GREAT INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY!!
CAR IS ALSO LISTED LOCALLY, SO I RESERVE RIGHT TO END AUCTION EARLY FOR FIRST CASH BUYER.
