I wonder if the car is a body off and that is just plain body shop dust and the owner is trying to unload it. :confused:

Now this would be a TRUE Bloomington "SURVIVOR" or NCRS Bowtie Car :yesnod:

Yeah, I know they're supposed to be driven, but to see one of these super original "as the factory built it" cars are really neat to see in person. One of my favorite parts of the hobby-very original UNRESTORED cars. :yesnod:

It's gonna need all new rubber and probably most of the gaskets too. I don't understand how people can let a car just sit like that

Belongs in the Corvette Museum if you ask me. Dont change a thing, except a little wax on wax off and into the museum she should go. It would be interesting to see how the motor and tranny internals look.

To make roadworthy, I would suspect:
1)Changing all rubber items, tires, bushings, and weatherstriping.
2)Rebuilding engine(top end has probably lost its oil protection many moons ago).
3)Rebuilding carb-fuel system.
4)Rebuilding tranny.
5)Rebuilding ignition system-oxidation of contacts.

Brent...

I wonder how much he wants for the OEM dust. I've been looking for factory correct, number matching dirt.

Looks like a nice orig BB car - I like it :yesnod:
Unless they can back up that 489 mile claim, I would add exactly 100,000 miles to it. BTW, you know the GM designers got it right when it looks good dirty
