Vehicle Description

One of the VERY FIRST *ORIGINAL* RED CORVETTES EVER BUILT by Chevrolet-General Motors. (Vin #xxx152).  This car has attracted world-wide attention. Please read on...

Showing 26,000 MILES, two owner; car was purchased from retired GM Tech Center Engineer; garaged for decades. 

This one of the best 1954 Corvettes still in existence--yes, a very bold statement. We have only found one other lower mileage '54, owned by Mike Yeager, owner of Mid-America Corvettes (catalog parts supply company). His car was recently purchased at auction for nearly $300,000. Others are now selling in the $225,000-$295,000 range. See the recent 2007 issue of SPORTS CAR MARKET magazine, with a white 1954 Corvette on the cover--going at auction for over $279,000.

Museum quality. California car with California title with a believed correct 26,000 miles on a pristine, perfect underside frame and body. Runs great.

Correct and very rare Sportsman Red with correct red interior--only 100 built with this factory correct red color combination (all 1953's and almost all 1954's were Polo White). Superb interior in correct red, with correct red carpeting.

ORIGINAL: correct date coded side curtains with correct storage case; door panels, dash, original factory spare tire and tire change instruction sticker sheet still in trunk (not reproductions). Original wheels and hubcaps (these are sometimes found on eBay for $3-$5,000 alone). NOT cheap reproduction parts---these are all correct, genuine original parts.

Under the hood: Each of the correct Carter tri-carbs still have the original, correct numbered brass id tags. Correct Blue Flame 6 and Powerglide. All very nice under the hood, including 1954 ignition shielding and the ultra-short ("pre-Duntov") exhaust tips--see photos, please.

SERIOUS ONLY, please-please-please!

International bidders OK; I have made many sales overseas; insured and timely transport/shipping is not a problem to anywhere in the world.

This car is offered locally in Beverly Hills, Bel Air, Hollywood and Rancho Santa Fe, California. This offering may end at anytime without notice.

See my ebay feedback of over 800 positive transactions.
