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!
