Yes the wipers are on it now. I was having the wiper motor rebuilt and replated.

wow

Stunning! One of the first cars for sale on this forum that I would trade for. I love it!

provette67

Very nice looking car.Has it ever been judged NCRS? any documentation?

rovers2000

yes you have a butiful car. I have the match with a white top but not as well restored. good luck with the sale.

TESTADURO

i was hoping to have it judged at the regional meet in Sacramento but unfortunately wont make it. Sorry i do not have any owner history. I have owned the car for 8 years.

TESTADURO

it also has correct dated hose clamps and spark plug wires as well as correct delco remy distributor cap

Very nice car. I hope you get every penny you are looking for.

TESTADURO

thank you

Jeff Garner

Very nice. Right year, colors, options, 396. If I could order one up like I wanted it, this would be it. Definitly on my bucket list. Would need to sell a couple of my small block's to make it happen. What are you looking for in a trade for a smallblock?

Does it have the "peanut" type fuel bowls on the Holley?
Cheers,
Gary

TESTADURO

the rear fuel bowl is the correct small inlet with the acorn fitting. i am still trying to locate the front bowl.

TESTADURO

just looking for a nice mostly stock small block roadster. numbers are not important.

i saw steve's car in person a few weeks ago at a corvette show in los altos. it is drop dead gorgeous. one of the best restored corvettes i have ever seen. it's a shame you'll miss the NCRS meet in october. an NCRS top flight certificate would certainly do well for the sale in this economy. i hope you don't mind steve, but here's a few more pics for ya. good luck with the sale.

Beautiful car, a keeper in my book! I'd plan on being buried in it..lol..GLWS!

Hi,
Any owner history?California car?

TESTADURO

I dont have any owner history. I bought it as a project car that had not been registered since the 70's and it had dropped out of the DMV system. the car was originally sold in CT.
