1954 Corvette #1858/75% Frame-off Restored/#’s Matching
You
are bidding on a rare, 1 of 3,640 made, very correct numbers matching
1954 Corvette Roadster. This very original 1954 Corvette has been in
the process of a frame-off restoration for the past few years but was
delayed due to a divorce situation. Reluctantly the private long time
owner must now sell this excellent original Corvette to restore his own
personal life. If you have been looking for an early Corvette 53 or 54
you know how expensive these highly sought after collectors items have
become in numbers matching original GM mechanical components
condition.
This
54 is an excellent Corvette to complete as all the difficult parts of
the frame-off restoration have already been completed. As investments
go these early Corvettes are rapidly appreciating as the 1953’s very
limited (300 car total production) has pushed those cars to an
untouchable price level. This fact is driving the prices of these also
ultra rare 1954’s up the charts as well. If you are a collector who
wants a 54 with all its original mechanical components (engine, trans,
rear, starter, generator, All original glass), 1 small repair in the
rear over the past 50 years, done correctly then this is it.
Let’s talk about the details;
This
Corvette had its body removed for a frame-off restoration.Frame is
completed and body is back on tied down and is now ready to be stripped
down and painted to your specifications/standards. The frame on this
Corvette was rust-free/never damaged prior to its restoration. It has
been properly restored and looks excellent thru-out. The fiberglass on
this 1954 Corvette is a rare find as it appears to have had only one
small repair in the trunk in its 51 years and it is nice overall
original glass throughout the rest of the body. There is still a small
glass repair needed (few small minor cracks) in the trunk area before
you can paint. The overall condition of the body is nice and it still
looks very presentable as it sits. All window glass is good. The chrome
is mostly complete and in good condition but should be replated. The
interior is partially completed being restored and needs very little to
finish as you can see in the pictures. The convertible top is intact in
good shape with canvas and bows but needs some restoring. One hood
hinge in front hood needs repair and one rear hinge needs small repair
as well.
Let’s talk about the mechanicals;
The
heart of this 1954 Corvette is its Ultra-Cool “Blue Flame Six” engine.
This is the original correct engine/numbers matching that it came from
the factory with this Vette in 1954 (Pad #0447425F54YG) cast #3835913.
The motor has been properly rebuilt along with the three original
Carter Carburetors. The optional Auto transmission (original) is a
rebuilt smooth shifting bullet proof powerglide. The starter and
generator are correct #’s and original as well. Car is running and
driving condition.
Overall
this 1954 is an excellent opportunity for a Corvette collector to own a
real numbers matching original 1954 Corvette Roadster with correct
numbers that is 75% frame off restored(the difficult things already
completed), in running and driving condition, at a very affordable
price point with virtually no hunting for hard to get original
parts. Please don’t miss this one or you will be kicking yourself hard
in less than a few years from now when these 1954’s will be well over
100k. So please bid with complete confidence and assurance this is
absolutely an investment quality 1954 Corvette that when completed will
be a crown jewel in your collection. Thanks for your sincere interest
and good luck bidding!
