NOW ABOUT ME: IPURCHASED THIS VETTE APPROX. 6 YEARS AGO AND HAVE KEPT IT SAFE IN MY GARAGE & ONLY TAKE IT OUT ON OCCASSIONS (THE REASON I'M SELLING IT IS BECAUSE I JUST DON'T USE IT ENOUGH) IT IS VERY PRACTICAL IN THE WAY IT WAS SET UP AS I CAN DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY AND IT BARELY TACHS OVER 2 GRAND / FAN COMES ON AROUND180 DEGREES SO IT KEEPS ITS COOL. ALL THE LIGHTS / STEREO / GAUGES ALL WORK.THE PREVIOUS OWNER DID MOST OF THE RESTORATION - I HAVE PICS. THAT HE PROVIDED ME WITH THAT SHOW CAR TORN DOWN AND BROUGHT BACK TO LIFE, WITH RECEIPTS - IT WAS FINISHED SOMEWHERE BETWEEN JUST OVER 15 YEARS AGO & HE HAD IT IN STORAGE UNTIL HE DECIDED TO SELL OFF HIS COLLECTION. CAR HAS UNDER 1,400 MILES SINCE IT WAS FINISHED / THAT INCLUDES THE TIME PERIOD I HAVE OWNED IT AS WELL.

THIS IS NOT A NEW VETTE EVEN THOUGH IT LOOKS FANTASTIC, JUST BE AWARE THAT IT WAS RESTORED OVER 15 YEARS AGOSO IT MAYBE SHOWING ITS AGE (JUST BEING TRANSPARENT). YOU ARE MORE THAN WELCOME TO COME AND LOOK / DRIVE VETTE IN PERSON IF YOU FEEL THE NEED TO. IBOUGHT THE VETTE APPROX. 6 YEARS AGO BUT FOUND MYSELF NOT GETTING FULL ENJOYMENT (SITTING IN GARAGE TOO MUCH). BUT WHEN I DO TAKE IT OUT, I GET ALL THE ENJOYMENTI NEED & IT GETS ALL THE ATTENTION!

I'M SURE I'M FORGETTING SOME THINGS; I KNOW THE PICTURES SHOULD HELP TO FILL IN WHAT I MAY HAVE FORGOT, IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ETC., PLEASE DON'T HESITATE TO GET AHOLD OF ME. IT'S BEST TO SEND THOSE QUESTIONS THROUGH EBAY TO START AT LEAST. THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME TO READ ALL I HAVE WRITTEN & IF YOU ARE LOOKING TO PURCHASE A BITCHIN RESTO-MOD C-1 VETTE I FEEL YOU HAVE FOUND A GREAT ONE HERE!

P.S. THIS IS INSURED PRESENTLY THROUGH HAGERTY / TITLED AND REGISTERED IN CALIFORNIA IN MY NAME AND HAS PERSONAL LICENSE PLATES - C1 BADVT. ALSO, I NOTED THAT EBAY DUG UP MY OLD BUSINESS AS AN ONLINE CAR & MOTORCYCLE DEALER FROM OVER TEN YEARS AGO -NO PROBLEM, AS YOU CAN SEE, I HAD 100% POSITIVE FEEDBACK! I SOLD TO BOTH IN COUNTRY BUYERS AS WELL AS OUT OF THE COUNTRY AS WELL - SO YOU CAN FEEL CONFIDENT! THIS RESTO-MOD C-1 VETTE WAS PURCHASED AS A FUNTOY & (TO KEEP MY MIND BUSY).

FYI: I HAD BEEN CONTACTED BY A MEMBER OF BARRETT JACKSON ABOUT TAKING VETTE TO SCOTTSDALE AZ IN JANUARY AS HE FELT A 1961 CORVETTE RESTO-MOD IN MY CONDITIONSHOULD BRING BETWEEN $150,000 - $200,000! I WAS TOLD THAT I STILL HAD SOME TIME TO SELL VETTE ONMY OWN IF I GET THE CHANCE & THUS THAT'S THE REASON THAT I AM HERE ON EBAY. I BELIEVE IN THE BIRD IN THE HAND PHILOSOPHY - SO IF YOU WANT A VERY SPECIAL CAR TO CALL YOUR OWN, I'M GIVING YOU THAT CHANCE.
