The original paint does look somewhat weathered, but a neat package for the $44k buy-it-now price. Sounds as though the engine has been cleaned and resealed, the clutch and brakes done, and a new fuel tank installed. That's likely all I would have done if I owned this car - it's a pretty great cruiser as-is with lots of personality.

----I wonder if he actually tested the original radiator. The brass replacements generally don't do the job as well as the aluminum rads, and a DeWitt correct radiator is expensive. Some of the shielding is missing as well. Not too bad an old Vette, but I wish it had a few more options......Bill S

I believe this car sold not long ago on Ebay and was briefly discussed here at that time.

The pictures leave much to be desired, unfortunately.

----Forgot this one, and the front clip. More like a low 30s Vette to me.......Bill S
