I'D ORIGINALLY PLANNED THIS CAR AS AN ULTIMATE "KEEPER". YET I FOUND A 1969 BIG-BLOCK 427 CORVETTE CONVERTIBLE "DIVORCE-SALE" CAME INTO PLAY AND BESIDES MY OTHER ROLLS-ROYCE AND CORVETTE SHOW CAR PROJECTS, I WAS FORCED TO MAKE THE TOUGH DECISION TO PRIORITIZE PROJECTS AND CUT LOOSE OFF ALL THOSE PROJECT CARS I CANNOT SEE ANY FORWARD PROGRESS ON FOR YEARS.

1981 WAS THE FIRST YEAR GM EXPERIMENTED WITH THE COMPUTERIZED BRAIN SYSTEM. ALL THAT BOGUS COMPUTER CONTROLLED POWER ROBBING, BOGUS EMISSIONS GOVERNMENT MANDATED SYSTEMS HAVE BEEN RIGHTFULLY BYPASSED. THIS ONE RUNS BETTER WITH HIGHER HORSEPOWER THAN THE FACTORY WAS PERMITTED TO DO AT THE TIME. ALL SYSTEMS ARE STILL IN THE CAR, YET THEY HAVE BEEN BYPASSED TO RUN BETTER THAN FACTORY. NEW STARTER, ETC... CAR HAS BEEN SITTING UNUSED FOR A COUPLE YEARS NOW. IT HAS NEW BATTERY, AND I START IT ONCE A WEEK WITH FRESH GAS, JUST TO KEEP IT A RUNNING, DRIVING CAR AND KEEP THE BRAKING SYSTEM ALIVE AND WELL. I WASH IT A COUPLE TIMES A MONTH AND KEEP IT UNDER A CUSTOM FIT CAR COVER TO KEEP IT OUT OF THE WEATHER. AS A CUSTOM CAR LOVER, I CAN'T SEE ANY REASON THIS SPECIAL CAR NEEDS TO SIT ANY LONGER. IT NEEDS TO GO TO A NEW HOME WHERE IT CAN ENJOY A NEW LIFE WITH A CARING NEW OWNER. I HAVE THE NEW CORVETTE TO CONSIDER AND OTHER PRIORITIES AT THIS TIME... MY LOSS, YOUR GAIN. I'M OFFERING A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO GET INTO AN INCREASINGLY DESIRABLE AFFORDABLE AMERICAN MUSCLE CAR NOW. CAR IS LISTED LOCALLY AND I RESERVE RIGHT TO END AUCTION EARLY TO THOSE PERSONS WHO MAKE A REASONABLE OFFER TO BUY IT NOW.
NEEDLESS TO SAY, IT'S A USED 42 YEAR-OLD CAR. NO WARRANTIES. AS-IS, WHERE-IS. I ACCEPT CASH IN PERSON, BANK WIRE, ZELLE AND ALL OTHER NORMAL METHODS OF PAYMENT. I DO NOT ACCEPT PAYPAL. INTERESTED PURCHASERS SHOULD CONTACT ME FOR ALL QUESTIONS AND PAYMENT OPTIONS. GOOD LUCK!!!
P.S. - AS ORIGINALLY INTENDED AS A LIFE-LONG "KEEPER" CAR, I PURCHASED NEW HOOKER HEADERS AND A COMPLETE NEW DUAL EXHAUST SYSTEM FRONT TO REAR WITH NEW GLASS-PACK MUFFLERS. THIS NEW SYSTEM DELETES THE POWER ROBBING CATALYTIC CONVERTER ONE PIPE EXHAUST SYSTEM FOR ULTIMATE PERFORMANCE AND SOUND. I HAD A BUYER FOR THE CAR IN ENGLAND WHO COULD NOT FINALIZE THE PURCHASE DUE TO HIGH SHIPPING COSTS. HE DID NOT WANT TO PAY EXTRA FOR THE NEW, CUSTOM EXHAUST SYSTEM AND ASKED THAT I REURN THE ORIGINAL EXHAUST SYSTEM TO COMPLY WITH STRICT U.K. EMISSIONS MANDATES. I DID PUT BACK INTO PLACE THE ORIGINAL EXHAUST SYSTEM LOOSLY FOR TRANSPORT CONSIDERATIONS ONLY.
I GIVE THE FUTURE PURCHASER OF THIS CAR AN ADDED OPTION - FOR AN EXTRA $1,500, I WILL INCLUDE THE NEW HEADERS AND ALL NEW DUAL EXHAUST SYSTEM INCLUDING GLASS PACKS. OTHERWISE, JUST FIGURE THE STOCK FACTORY EXHAUST SYSTEM. YOUR CHOICE. CALL TO DISCUSS OPTIONS. THANKS, STEVE.
