    1953 CORVETTE 

CORNERSTONE COLLECTOR CAR. The one you are missing from your collection. Only 300 made and about 125 still known to exist. The future price on this car will go through the roof. Only two 53's sold in 2006 with one topping 1 million. 2007 cars sold.

Only six sold in 2007 with the top car selling for $440,000. The 2007 average selling price per car was over $352,000 with two topping $400,000.Think about that future dollar value again.

     This is the real market right now. As other collector cars are going into a slump this car is climbing.

    This is a great survivor, LOW milage car.34,000 original miles.

   NO RUST, NO WRECKS EVER!!

First time ever advertised well preserved with great documentation. #132 CORVETTE. Super original right down to the hubcaps.  1980's title with the frame never separated from the body. Vin is easy to read on the frame.

   Received 1 repaint in the mid 60's with the cloth grain of the body very easy to see.

   This car could reset the standards of restoration on other 1953 Corvettes. The factory weatherstrips are still in place along with a ton of other small details never taken apart since new. This is nearly a full and complete car with factory stamps, writing, and tags in all areas. Has a 1953 tag still hanging on the seat back of the original upholstery.

   Fortunately this car was spared an amature restoration and still looks like it did in the 1960's. The owner that had it in the 70's realized the historical significance of this car and loaded up on some super rare 53 only NOS parts. Mostly in original 1970's GM packaging, washer jar with pump assembly NOS, ashtrays NOS, Rad cap NOS, Rocker shafts NOS, Thermostat housing NOS, signal lever NOS, Jack handle NOS, pos battery cable NOS, gasket sets NOS, Wheel bearings NOS, exhaust bezels NOS, park brake handle NOS, door knobs NOS, antenna wire NOS, camshaft NOS, plug wire set NOS. 

   All motor castings have NO CORROSION with all the right stuff including block , head, water pump, sheet metal, starter, carburator, fuel filter, crank vent tube assembly, exhaust manifold perfect, near perfect intake manifold, all carbs, smooth non ribbed expansion tank. The blue flame six is fresh machined and ready to complete the rebuild.

    Original signal seeking radio and speaker is still in place along with dated and tagged Harrison radiator. Top frame is very nice with no corrosion. Original 1953 dated side curtains are with the car!

   IF YOU (WANT THIS CAR) IS NOT THE ISSUE. But the issue is, do you perform some TLC and leave it a survivor??  People will flock right past the restored cars to look at a real 53 that looks like it is still in the 1960's. You can show this car as it looks with great appreciation from many enthusiasts. No fear of small scratches, ect. Or your other choice, a concourse restoration ,(now or latter) and then go to Bloomington (and, or) NCRS full tilt.

   YOU WIN EITHER WAY, money in the bank and the very EXCLUSIVE CLUB of 1953 Corvette ownership. This Corvette may be sold to anyplace in the world as many countries have found american muscle is a great investment.

   I want real offers and inspections so this car will probably sell before the auction is at the end. I reserve the right to pull the auction for any reason at any time so read the legal stuff and only bid if you can go by these rules.

How many 1953 Corvettes have you seen in this original condition and for sale?

   30 years in a private collection. How many are left out there to put you into this club??

   A super easy restoration and a once in a lifetime opportunity. Thanks,
