The least amount required to get it driving reliably, is what I did with mine. Which turned out to be NOM stockish, with disc brakes, and a few other minor modifications. And I've put 30k miles on it in two and a half years. But mine doesn't look that nice!

if that is a real ad (which I doubt it is) I would just finish what is there and make a clean stockish looking car and drive it

Agree. I have my doubts about the legitimacy of the ad. If real, that would be a great buy. Drivetrains are cheap. You could have this up and running for $5K and that includes ditching the motor that is in the car.

TOTALLY AGREE WITH THAT ASSESMENT. IT'S STOLEN PHOTOS OR AN AD THAT A SCAMMER IS TRYING TO TAKE YOUR MONEY.
UNLESS THERE IS NO MOTOR OR TOTAL CRAP FRAME THE PRICE IS WAY TO LOW. RUN FOREST RUN.

I suggest your first step is find and use a FL DMV service. Found a great CA DMV guy I use from time to time. 1962 VIN tag should be on steering column in engine compartment (correct?). This service can tell legality and enable a transfer. A good Corvette shop with a lift should be the next step. If you get this far, transaction in person, no remote payments!
