Description
This is a beautiful 1972 corvette that has recently gone through many changes. I purchased it from what is believe to be the second owner who passed away while redoing the car his way. Body was completely stripped, flares added and car painted Ruby Red Metallic 4 bolt main 350 engine completely rebuilt. Engine came to me as a rebuilt short block with new bearings, pistons, rings. I had the machine shop go over everything and put it back together. Everything looked great. Heads received new valves and springs. New camshaft and lifters. New distributor, wires, valve covers, and air cleaner. Motor was broken into then sat for a short while as we completed the rest of the car. Unfortunately there seems to be a vacuum leak or maybe carburetor issue as the car doesn't want to stay on without gunning the engine. It was driven around the block only one time as the brakes were acting up, but more on that... The brakes. Just about everything has been replaced. New calipers up front, new pads all the way around. Brake hoses have been replaced. New cross drilled rotors. New master cylinder and booster. New proportioning valve. New universal wiring harness. Headlights were converted to electric motors and work great, no more vacuum operated lights. new radiator and electric fan with thermostat switch. Seats were completely redone with new foam cushion and seat covers. New seat belt and shoulder harness, if you want to attach. new fuel tank and electric fuel pump with relay and cutoff switch new optima battery with complete cutoff to the car except to the radio and clock. New alternator. custom radio, looks original with cover but with turn of the switch goes to digital. New "Corvette" speakers in back. Vintage Air Gen IV surefit A/C and heat is included with the vehicle. Most everything is hooked up inside the vehicles but the hoses and compressor belt still need to be attached and charged. I wanted to properly break in the car before I had the a/c working all the way. New carpet and sound deadner inside most of the car floor. Some minor fiberglassing needs to be finished in the rear of the inside of the car due to the roll bar when it was attached. Did I mention there is a rear roll bar? I have new OEM style gauges as well as the equus that are currently in the car. They all work except for the fuel gauge. Don't think they are matched to each other but sender and gauge are both new. I will also include the new OEM style gauges, some still in their boxes.
