You are bidding on a beautiful 1975 Corvette T-Top.  The car has been recently restored by a professional, Michigan registered repair facility.  The paint is a 3 stage candy apple red and is absolutely gorgeous.  Nothing but the highest quality materials and paint were used on this car.   The body is in excellent shape, no cracks, scratches, chips, etc.  The under carriage has also been professionally prepared and undercoated to ensure many years of enjoyment from this vehicle.

The black interior is in decent shape.  The seats, carpet, connsole, and dash are all in good shape.  The motor is a carburetted 5.7 liter (35).  It has a edelbrock carburetor, aluminium intake.  It has accel coil in distributer w/8.8 Accell plug wires.  It has an aluminium edelbrock air cleaner and valve covers.  Other features include, headers and duel exhaust with flow master mufflers.  The motor was originally equipped with A/C, but the pump has been removed, probably to increase horsepower.  The odometer currently reads slightly under 88,100 but may increace  in mileage if we decide to drive this car to local car shows.

The car has chrome crager wheels that are in very good shape, there may be minor flaws  that are hardly noticable, you may find some slight peeling and small corrosion upon close inspection, but the wheels still look very good and shine well. The front tires are Radial GT HP 4000 P 245/60 R15 and rears are P275/60 R15 and tires are have 60% Good tread. Lots of miles left on them.

The stereo is a Panasonic CQ-C11010 50 Wattx4 CD player. Car has factory tachometer and a 8000 RPM Sunpro tack attached to steering column. Transmission is an Automatic and shifts good and smoothly. Shifter on floor (console), all chrome, emblems, trim and T-Tops are present and in good shape (original).

Imperfections on this car are minimal. The headlights are up all the time. I haven't had a chance to diagnose the problem since Corvette's are not my specialty, if we don't sell the corvette quickly I will fix the headlights when I get a couple other projects out of the way.  I don't think it will take much to fix the headlights. 

The interior has some imperfections, scratches on headliner . Some cracks in rear panels (Behind Seats). The heater blower switch is bad, heater blower motor works fine (has been tested) the switch is bad. The driver side window goes down fine, when going up it needs guided by hand. Again I haven't had a professional look at it. It does go all the way down and 3/4 of the way up without assistance.

This car is in excellent mechanical condition (Other than issues listed). The brakes are like new, pads, rotors, callipers etc. The shocks are good the rear has air shocks on it. The front and rear bumpers have been smoothed out. No gaps or waves that most Corvette bumpers have.

Extra time and money were invested in this cars body work and paint work to get it to look as beautiful as it does. The pictures of this car do it no justice, the color is beautiful, and the shine is as good if not better than any Corvette around. It has chrome Hot Rod style mirrors on both driver and passenger side. (They look good) This whole car was water sanded and buffed to a lustre that will even stand out at car shows. All lights, blinkers, power windows, etc. works fine.

As far as the motor and transmission, everything seems to run extremely well, the motor seems to be very tight and strong, and the transmission shifts with absolutely no apparent problems. It was very smooth riding for a Corvette.

We have have a lot of time and money invested in this car and we realize you we will not be able to recoup all all of our investment considering the time and effort that has put into this vehicle.  I find it hard to believe that you would ever be able to get this much car, looking as good as this one does, and have it professionally done, with the the low reserve we have placed on this corvette. 

My local bank says this car has a loan value of $15,500 in average condition, and a loan value of $24,000 in excellent condition. This car's exterior is in excellent condition, and the car's interior is in good to high average condition for it's age.

We would encourage you to come and look at this vehicle before you purchase, or if you are unable to come and look at it, we would encouarge you to get an independent inspection.  We are confident this car would have no problems passing an independent inspection.  This car, as with all used vehicle, sold in Michigan is being sold "AS IS" and Without a Warranty. Is is your responsibility to do you homework when buying any used vehicle.

If your the winning bidder a $1,000.00 non-refundable deposit within 48 hours is expected. I have 100% positive feedback, for a good reason, because I am honest with the condition of all items I sell. Do not bid if you don't have access to the money or financing!!!

The restoration of this cars body would cost a minimum of $10,000 and that's on the low side considering its a 3 stage candy paint, with extensive priming and blocking and all that goes with the show quality paint work.

If you are interested in financing this vehicle I would recommend going through Hagerty Classic Cars.  They may be able to finance it for as low as 5.99% w/ a small downpayment.   Payments based on $16,000 w/small down would come out to about $250. per month.  Hagerty Insurance can insure this corvette with "full coverage - no deductible" based on good driving record for around $350 per year.   My local bank may be like your local bank, who said they would loan up to $24,000 on this vehicle for  as low as 1.99% interest. 

If you have any questions you may call Scott (who has done all the work on this vehicle and knows this corvette inside and out) at 517-960-9363 or Byron at 517-474-0627

We are anxious to sell this vehicle so the reserve is set very low.  It would be a great loss to us if this vehicle sells barely over the reserve price.

I have tried to be totally honest about every known issue or problem with this vehicle, however, this car's few imperfections are greatly overshadowed by the beautiful condition and eye appealing look of this corvette.

If you are the high bidder, you must put a $1,000 non-refundable deposit on this vehicle within 24 hours of the close of the auction.
