I was just wondering... and I completely understand you precautions.
I have an early '66 as well its a 450 car. Good luck to you, I might have a buyer in mind.

I will let you know.

To answer a few more questions.....

What does or doesn't come with the car???
Actually, I'm pretty flexible in that area. While I do have lots of NOS parts, etc. that could be included, I'm also fine with not including them as well. Price is to be adjusted based on what the final package ends up being.
If you are into Midyears, it would probably be to your advantage to get a good package deal while you scam lots of extra parts from my stash. For example, maybe those true NOS F41 shocks on my shelf appeal to you for this car or another?
If this is to be your one and only Midyear, then most of the original parts that came off the car are nice enough to use again and you could save some money on the final deal without all the extras......

Glass??
I have all the original date coded tinted glass for this car (including windshield). Due to the typical wiper scratch, I was going to replace the windshield with a correct date coded repro but haven't as of yet.

What's missing??
You made me think about this one. I'd say only a couple of significant items. I don't have a new radiator core center section (but do have the original exterior tanks).
Also don't have the bumpers from this car. I used them on another 66 of mine and haven't got around to replacing them yet. I do have some old bumper cores but they aren't nice enough in my book to use on this car (I tend to be very picky).

Drivetrain stuff??
Engine has been completely rebuilt to stock specs and has been run in place on the chassis after installation. Trans was rebuilt, rear diff was rebuilt, alternator was sent out and restored, T.I. distributor was sent out and restored (not yet installed, ran rebuilt engine with standard points dist), etc....

Thanks for the inquiries!! Charles

Hi Guys,
Thanks for the continued interest and questions. I've managed to scrounge up another $50K without selling the wife or any cars so now I've got 9/10 of my mad money for the mystery car.... Hopefully I won't sell the Corvette or the Cuda I listed here but they are still available as of today.

Trades???: I wasn't interested in any partial trades at first and don't really need any more cars (do we ever really need them??), but at this point I'm not looking for as much cash so anything could be possible. Obviously my cars are worth much more together than at the stage they are currently in, so I still won't give them away at "bargain" prices. However, if you wanted to offset your "investment" in one of them with a cool Musclecar it probably wouldn't hurt either of us. What the heck, write me and find out??? And the '70 RS/Z offer? Might go well with my other RS/Z's.......

Oh, is the T/A car shown in my garage real????? Yes. But don't tell anybody.......

Well guys, it's time once again to offer a few of my project cars for sale (different reasons this time around).

And this time they are listed for sale on Ebay.

The Corvette auction is number 200127959094 and is currently listed with a $90,000.00 reserve.

The car is basically the same as described above in this forum with a little bit of progress since it was last offered.

I am also offering two 1970 Cudas for sale as well.

Thanks for your time! Charlie

Me again......

Just wanted to let everyone know the Corvette has been sold and will be leaving for it's happy new California home this weekend.

The new owner wisely brought a friend to help him inspect the car (who just happens to be a Bloomington Midyear judge) and the car was given the thumbs up on everything.

For you naysayers out there (and you know who you are), good cars still bring top dollar if you are honest about them in your description and don't try to play games with the potential buyers (even if the car is still partially in boxes)..........

Thanks for the kind words and opportunity to offer some of my toys !! Charlie

Good deal!

[Vettefinderjim]

Thanks for all your considerations Charles. I am glad I could send the qualified people that resulted in a smooth transaction. Both the buyer and inspector are good friends, so I can assure you the car has gone to a good home.

You will probably see the car at least once or twice on the show field at BLOOMINGTON and NCRS in 2008. Then Ken, the new owner, will 'DRIVE' the wheels off it as he does with all his collector cars.

Keep in touch,
JIM
