RUN NOW!
LOL! I also like the mileage...1 million miles!
I'm glad that at $8,100 his reserve has been met! I'd hate to think he had a lower reserve.
Hey, maybe the highest bidder is Merlin522...about all he did was remove the VIN tag and build a new car to put it on...after sinking a couple hundred thousand dollars into it.
A 63 is a good collector, but no matching number engine...think I should ask him if the ash trays are still good?

Q: Good Morning Jerry Thanks for the photos. Here is my problem (and I am told I have many) - I have a perfect birdcage for this car but I don't know how in the hell I would get it installed? However, I too can get drunk. So I am still interested in your auction but it ends pretty early in the evening to be really hammered. I will call you. Ron Bockerman in Nebraska Answered on Feb-21-05
A: The '63 Corvette Service Manual says to "Gently remove fiberglass and discard old birdcage. Firmly reattach fiberglass to new birdcage using adequate adhesive and Kent-Moore tool #J-7170." May God be with you.
Q: Jerry: So how did you end up owning a Corvette. Your description doesn't say this is the greatest car ever....and you have a sense of humour. You aren't **** like most Corvette owners. If you don't sell it are you going to take it to bloomington and go for a preservation award? Thanks for the laugh. I'll put it on my watch list to see how much you get for it. Good luck and thanks again for the laugh. Graham (yup, my real name)
A: I was drunk.
Q: Is it possible to view the car before the end of the auction? can you please send more photos? jlynn@elmore.rr.com
A: Yep. You can call to make an appointment if you want to inspect the car during the auction. However, it doesn't look any better than in the photos. Aren't those enough to keep you from bidding?

Q: Why are you selling the car?
A: Are you kidding? Look at it! If I was born last night I wouldn't have enough years left to restore a car in this condition.
Some of us should look at our own cars and think about this line.

I met Jerry Bramlett at Carlisle when he was selling a used mid-year radiator for $?? "guaranteed to leak". Yep, truth in advertising and he is a nice guy too.
