Re: 66 coupe NOM big block

Craig,

Sounds like you had a very busy day. You definitely did alot of homework and documenting. Are the bumpers and other trim there? What about the radio, wheels (hubcaps) spare tire tub? What about the enterior trim? Door knobs, panels? How about the headlight motors? Great to hear about the Title, that's a big hurdle. This sounds very good (without pictures). I have a 327 '66 Mosport Green and I didn't have anything to work with except original motor and tranny. The rest was missing and boy did it cost me! I'm now working on an all original '62 Tuxedo Black/Saddle and I made sure it had as much original with it prior to purchase. I truly learned from the '66. Good luck and we'll be awaiting your updates.

Don - the original wheels are gone, interior, all trim is there, spare tire tub is in place, bumpers are all there and rust free on the insides..this car appears to be a CA original, and in AZ the rest of it's life, it is fully documented back to 1971. All trim exterior and interior is there (it was complete when the guy in Tucson started working with it so all the boxes of stuff is with the car. I would plan to inventory closer when we discuss seriously the price....but I already saw most of the items. I will email you some pictures....oh yeah, the radio is there, original AM/FM Delco and installed. It comes with new blue carpeting, but I would want the saddle. The saddle dash pads had a quick dye spray job on the tops....I don't know if I can recover them or may have to replace anyway. Thx!...Craig

Re: 66 coupe NOM big block

Well - I made the commitment to the owner to buy the car...we need to haggle out a price yet based on inventory of all the loose items which he is pulling together later this week, and I am going over on Saturday....I am out of town this week. Ahh...the dawn of a new project excites me!! My wife is cringing about another Corvette project!! (But she has given up hope on me ever getting over this obsession!)......Craig
