1970 454 - 4 speed convertible project car. Car needs complete restoration. I had the engine rebuilt
in 2000 and a new radiator and gas tank installed. I started a shop restoration 3 years ago, had to replace the pax door - could not find a convertible door, used a coupe door - they are different. I have been told that the following must be done: the frame needs to be replaced. I have also been told that
the 454 engine and 4 speed transmission (both correct for a 1970 vette) have been put into a car that had
an automatic transmission because the frame on my car is an automatic transmission frame - not a manual transmission frame. One man who looked at the car said he thinks the VIN stamp on the engine
block is not factory original - yet the VIN number does match the VIN on the w/s post. He said the car
is not original and the "numbers" do not match - he wanted to buy the car for a very low amount.
Things the car does need: new top and some work on the top frame, w/s washers don't work, headlight frames need work. Bumpers needs replaced or re-chromed. Some body work required. Passenger door for a convertible must be installed. Radio antenna broken off. Radio connection to right speaker not working. Entire interior must be replaced.
I will sell the car for the best offer - gfharn@bellsouth.net.
