Up for your consideration is my '62 Corvette. This car has never been off it's frame and drives accordingly. Those who know, once they have been "off-frame", they just don't drive the same. Once you take this car for a ride, you will see exactly what I am referring to. NO rattles, shimmy, squeaks... just a smooth and quite ride. The transmission shifts with one finger, the clutch is perfect and the rear end makes no strange noises. It looks like the car has been off it's frame by the attention and care taken to bring it back to showroom fresh underneath. The floors are beautiful white fiberglass and the detail and correctness is second to none. Will please the fussiest of buyers. Frame stencil, paints daubs, oil filter canister, shifter, and on and on. All correct and all driveline components the car was born with. This is NOT a "put together, find the right parts, numbers matching car". Everything in the drivetrain was put in at the Factory.

The car starts, drives, stops, accelerates, exactly as it should. An absolute pleasure to drive. EVERY SINGLE ITEM ON THE CAR WORKS!  Yes, even the wipers, washers, Wonderbar radio and original clock(not a quartz conversion). Anyone who has owned a straight axle Corvette will appreciate what it takes to make that happen! This Corvette is a very early production(#139) so has many characteristics of a '61 such as unpainted rocker moldings, drain plug on Posi, low temp water gauge, different side inserts on front fenders. It is a very correct car from the T-3 headlights to the taillight wicks. Capable of an NCRS Flight Award without a problem if you so desire. Brand new date coded top, first year of  the vin stamped on the transmission, original wheels (the spare tire board sits flat because of this), dated wiper motor, correct "O" stamped valve covers, Dill 627 valve caps on the wheels, correct scissor jack and wrench, radio condensers, carb & tag, generator tags, NOS 781 horn relay, bolt markings, clips, harness ties,... nothing overlooked.

I  bought the car a little over 7 years ago from the second owner who was a friend of the original owner and he said the car had never seen a drop of water, only dusted and spray waxed. If you look very close, in person, you can see the bonding seams throughout attesting to this car never being hit. There are no cracks anywhere. The paint and finish is show quality with great lines and gaps. All doors , windows, locks (Briggs & Stratton keys) are perfect. Very, very unusual. I took the valve covers off when I got it to verify numbers on the heads, which DO match, and the engine inside is absolutely brand new so I am guessing it has been gone through somewhere along the line. It runs like it has been rebuilt right down to a fully functional automatic choke.

As you can guess, this is not your average eBay Corvette. It can be a very high quality driver or you can simply trailer it to shows. Either way, it will not disappoint. I have all the casting numbers, date codes, & part numbers if you need any, I have the owner's manual, clock instructions, Owner Protection Plan Book and window sticker (which appears to be a reproduction). Please ask questions. The only dumb ones are the ones not asked. The car has always been kept in a climate controlled garage and is the 2nd to last of my liquidated collection. It's that time for me. I have driven the car 327 miles since I purchased (how ironic) 7 years ago. The Title says 54,961 "actual miles".

Please take this Auction seriously, as I do. Continental US Bidders only please. Negative and low feedback bidders please do not bid, contact me first. I have the right to cancel any I see not fit. Cash, check or wire transfer is fine but car and Title will not leave until funds are cleared to my account. I welcome  inspections and I have a lift if you would like. Contact me for a time but please do this before the Auction is over, not after. I will respectfully keep my Reserve private and let the Auction run it's course. The car is not for sale anywhere else and I intend to let it run to the end. Thanks for looking and good luck. Ray
