Another 53 Reborn!!
Just put the body on the frame yesterday. This car is under vin #100. Super nice 53 and will be for sale by the Canadian owner when completed, which will be in a couple of weeks.

I'd love to read this Vette's biography.
A "reborned" Vette. Where, who, how and when was trashed, found and restored.

The 53 was purchased by it's owner several yrs ago as a project car. It was sent to me last Fall. It is nearing completion of a complete frame off restoration and will pass any NCRS or Bloomington Gold judging when finished.
Oh, and it's also for sale by the owner.

You are doing the Lord's work my son.
One of the Docs I used to work with traded his 53 in on a brand new two-tone blue 82 back in the day. Seems like he still had to come up with some cash to make the deal work. Let's see; the 82 is now worth about 8K and the 53 worth 100K? Not his brightest move.
