Vehicle description
For sale is a 1957 Corvette "altered" race car. It"s considered an altered vs. a gasser due to the center driving position. This is a race car and is sold as is with no VIN and no title, however we will furnish a bill of sale to the buyer. We believe the vehicle was build in the 1960"s given the extremely rare collection of period race parts which are detailed below. The Corvette features a vintage fiberglass aftermarket body of unknown manufacture and a front straight axle. It is being sold as a roller meaning it has no engine, no transmission, and no wiring. What you see in the photos is what you get. The frame appears to be a custom build for this vehicle from various sizes of round and square tubing. The body is "back halved" and is designed to lift in the front for easy access to the motor. The pictures detail that functionality. The rear of the car is fully tubbed and all sheet metal detail appears to be in a complete finished state. The rest of the body also appears to be fully reinforced in a period manner. A sheet metal floor is installed under the seat and dash but is not designed to carry any weight. The interior is very nicely finished in ribbed black vinyl which snaps in and our for easy cleaning and access to other vehicle components. As far as we know, it as not been fully operational for many years and may never have been fully completed.
