It’s what every Corvette Enthisiast wants And a Great Investment As Well! ! If you know C2 Corvettes, you know a few important key points… They are not all restored or maintained the same. I came across this car when I was not really looking for one but just had to get it. The car was Frame-Off restored about 10-12 years ago I believe but it appears as if it were completed a couple of years ago. It comes with original Owner’s Manual, These High-Horsepower C2’s are Very Hot, Very Collectable, This one looks and drives fantastic and is worth noting that I think it drives better than any other ’63 I have had (6 or 7 1963’s for me)! Its really desirable when you have a No-Hit body and the quintessential Red on Black Colors with a very nice and correct Frame-Off Restoration. One of my all-time favorites, I love the feel and sound of this car and would not be afraid to take it anywhere! The engine has the perfect blend of torque and sound really making for a nice top-down cruiser. Slide the top down, hit the key and take off…it’s that simple. This is a car for shows (any level), cruise-ins, or investment grade for a museum or collection. This car has an interesting story… a young high school boy working at a gas station serviced this Corvette for the new buyer. The original owner asked if he would like to buy it when he was 17 and his Father co-signed for him allowing him to drive it the last year and a half to school [How cool was that!] He kept the car most of its life… around 2007, he had a shop perform a Frame-Off restoration. It was at this time that he said he was tired of burning up in a black car and always loved the Rally Red on the 1966 Corvette and that is how the color change came about. My seller bought it from him in 2012 when the previous owner became ill and kept it until 2020 when I purchased it. It has been driven around 14k miles since the restoration. Things work as they should including but not limited to Headlight doors, Headlights/Taillights, Signals, Interior Dash, Gauges, Heat, Speedometer, Wipers, Horn, Courtesy Lights, Clock, Radio, etc. Is this C2 perfect? No and none of them are… I consider myself very particular and am usually much more critical of the cars in my collection than anyone else but try to be very candid with details. In addition to my notes in the component descriptions above, the volt meter bounces some during initial changes like the signal lights being turned on. If you look hard enough, you might see a couple of minor paint imperfections That is about all I can think of… Why am I selling it: For the most part, its space… I have a couple of other old vehicles in a consignment shop that are close to coming home. I reserve the right to end this auction early due to having it for sale locally. . I am pricing this car to sell and believe it will not last long so, do not hesitate to buy and please do so with absolute confidence! Please have finances in order prior to bidding as well. Purely as a hobby, I have been blessed to sell cars to buyers all over the country and internationally in my 25 years of collecting and take tremendous efforts in keeping a 100% feedback…that said, I have tried to be honest and accurate in all descriptions. I encourage however all to inspect this vehicle in person prior to bidding so that you can confirm my notes above. You can contact me with any questions at [email protected] or (865) 384-6017. Note: I have a clear Tennessee Title In My Name for my Corvette…I am not a business and this is a personal collection vehicle.
