1955 Corvette V8 Gypsy Red

Chevrolet Corvette 1955 Description

Up for sale is this very nice 1955 Chevrolet Corvette in Gypsy Red with a Beige Top and Red Interior. I am not going to go over production figures and such as its all readily available online. I am representing this vehicle for the family that currently owns the vehicle. I know some about this particular car as its been with this family nearly 15 years and has never been offered for sale during that period. As for condition, ts pretty easy to describe. I was told that it was a decent frame-on refresh in the late 1990's. Since then, t has had regular maintenance as required. I would say that its a nice "Driver" quality vehicle. It fires right up and drives nicely up and down the road. I took a look at some of the cars numbers but cannot say for sure if they match. The engine pad was difficult to read and I don't know if that stamp matches. I did find the engine casting number 3703524 and it appears to be correct for a 265 cubic inch V8 from 1955. The paint and interior are in good condition but show signsof having been driven. This car will draw a crowd anywhere it goes as they are pretty rare.Although its not perfect cosmetically, he car presents itself very well and is an easy local car show winner and a very respectable national contender with some light detailing. We have a ton of pictures for your inspection and I willbe glad to get any specifics, ust email me your requests.

Here is what I know about the history of this car. It was bought by Mr. Bill BuckSr. to take on the Historic CorvetteMotorama in 2002. The car was driven from Venice, lorida to Bowling Green Kentucky and served as the representative car for 1955. While in Bowling Green, r. Zora Duntov signed the hood of the car which is still in place and perfect condition. The car remained in Mr. Buck's collectionup to his passing a few years back. It was driven regularly and serviced as needed.The family has decided its time to let another Corvette enthusiast enjoy it. It is priced reasonably and is here to sell. Please do not bid unless you are prepared to own the car for your bid price.Please beware that we are selling the car AS-IS with no warranty express or implied.
