Strange that he never mentions the brake drums.

He has not a clue.

Or the top compartment and trunk that are painted the wrong color...

Or the 4-speed....

Nice Benetti yachts, though

Re: 57 Corvette

Some other minor stuff:
No FI emblem on trunk
Wrong inside mirror
Wrong Convertible top latches
Wrong radiator hose clamps
Black bolts in fuel filter
Wheels with no nubs, but possibly 5 1/2 inch?

But, the car appears to have big brakes if the finned drums are am indication of that which might tie to the 5 1/2 inch wheels?

Re: 57 Corvette

Car recently went through Barrett-Jackson Palm Beach. Big brakes were over the counter added parts. Springs were 4 leaf with 2 extra added leafs. No venting for big brakes, etc. etc. FWIW,

Re: 57 Corvette

FYI...

When I had more money than brains I bought my "numbers matching" 1954 Corvette from this seller several years ago when he was selling under a different dealer name but same email address.

Oh, by the way. Anyone want to buy a 1954 Corvette cylinder head where the passenger car casting numbers were ground off and restamped with JB Weld "3836241"? I have a long list of other similar bogus items, too.

Just sayin'.

Hinckley, what do you know about yachts?
Hope all is well.

Hinckley, what do you know about yachts?

Uncle Henry's yard builds the finest wooden sailboats, but I could never afford one; had to settle for fiberglass Cals and Columbias.

The wheels on that car are just standard GM 6" wheels...not RPO276.

Re: 57 Corvette

top frame wrong color, red paint several shades too dark but who is counting.
