    Interesting 60? FI? car on ebay

    Take a look at ebay item 4605463274.
    What year is it?
    Has a 60 VIN tag, tach, left side gauges.
    Has a 58 speedo and right hand gauges.
    What's troubling to me is that the female hood latches are 58-59 style, not 60, and the holes in the firewall are very different for those. Also has a 58D radiator.
    Not to mention a red heater surround with a black radio block-off plate.
    Entire interior is a mix of red and black--BUT--car seems to be original paint on the outside, and looks more like a 60 roman red than a 58 signet red. But interior of trunk area is black/charcoal , which would be proper for a 58, and improper for a 60.
    I don't like the forward screw on the FI air cleaner. Something seems to be amiss with that.
    Fuel unit is definitely a 62, with choke assembly missing from the air meter. Has the vacuum line from the front of the plenum which was 62 only.
    No fan shroud and no picture of potential fan shroud mounts to help you out.
    So what year is this? 58? 60?
    What do you guys see that I'm missing?

      Passenger seat looks real comfortable. Also has a convertible top with the ultra rare sun roof option.

          You're very good.

          Please look again at the hood latches and firewall. I think it was originally a black/black '59 body. I can't even guess what year frame might be underneath.

          Just think... if the blue dash pad is from a '61, then it has parts from every Corvette model built between 1958 and 1962. As they like to say on eBay: WOW!

            Man, that is one classic eBay description. He should be a writer.
