Interesting find on Ebay

[David H.]

This reminds me of my brothers car and would be interested in anyones thoughts on this car. 140412404985 on ebay.
1962 Corvette 4speed ready to be restored as a driver or show car. Runs. Drives. Newer engine installed. Original matching numbers block included - has been bored .060. Block is sound and ready to be rebuilt and installed. Tach drive distributor installed. New battery. Good exhaust. Needs some parts and slight body work. Has 3 cracks in body (see pictures). Needs sanding and painting. Exellent chrome except for rear tail light housings. Windshield has a crack ( see picture). New Al Knoch top included. Interior is all new. Tires have good tread.

Re: Interesting find on Ebay

First, ad says original block, but no picture of casting date. No pictures of the underside of car. Got to wonder why a red consol on a black interior. If you like projects, have a lot of extra 62 parts, and don't care about how much money you spend to finish it, then maybe it's the car for you. Most times basket cases end up costing way more than if you bought a car already done.
Just my 2 cents

Re: Interesting find on Ebay

David,

I agree with Terry, but.

I have coresponded with the owner and the frame has no rust issues and has not been wrecked. Of course the buyer MUST verify.
In my opinion I like the car since it is all together, not in boxes with parts scattered all over the place. What you see is what you get, which is good.
The block is stamped with the vin and is a 340 HP based on ther "RE". There is no tach to help verify the high HP, but thats not an issue to me.
Looks like it could be a great driver car if the price does not go to high.
