Here we a have a 1954 Chevrolet Corvette that was rescued from a barn in Idaho in the early 1980's.The condition of the car at that time is unclear, and a RECONSTRUCT TITLE was issued by the State of Idaho in 1985. In 1984 the car was given a newly rebuilt 235 cubic inch six cylinder engine with a block number 068004IF54X and a 3886848 cylinder head. A polished Corvette intake was added with three Carter YH carburetors and a custom throttle and choke linkage was added, as was a custom hard fuel line setup. A cast iron dual exhaust manifold and complete exhaust system was added. A rebuilt cast iron powerglide number 3742952 was installed. New brakes, a chrome driveshaft and rebuilt rearend was added. Over the next few years the car was driven about 600 miles and then put in storage. In the spring of 2015 the car was revived and is ready to go. Being is storage for so long took it's toll on the fuel system, so in June of 2015 the fuel tank, sender, filler hose and grommet were replaced. A new hard fuel line was run from the tank to the fuel pump with a marine fuel filter added on the frame. The fuel pump, and carbs were professionally rebuilt and new air cleaners added. Intake, exhaust, valve cover, side cover and water neck gaskets were replaced and engine detailed. A new 8 volt battery was installed. A new set of ignition points and a new condenser was added. The Stewart Warner gauges work well. The undercarriage is very clean and detailed with new steering parts and Monroe shocks. The carpet is new and the seats and door panels are very nice. The canvas top is in great shape with just a few minor spots. Included is a pair of very nice side curtains. The tires are new 1985 and show some dry checking, new matching spare is in the trunk. The hubcaps are very nice. The chrome overall is in very nice condition. There are some chips in the steering wheel and some chips and minor scratches in the paint. Missing is the windshield washer system and a heater control knob. A new heater core was just installed. This car runs and drives very well with good power and no squeaks or rattles. It's a real head turner with many thumbs up while driving it. This is a great opportunity to get a cool '54 without spending a fortune on a numbers matching, one of two, 10 original miles,blah ,blah, blah car that needs a full restoration. Any questions please ask. Thanks!
