1968 Chevrolet Corvette Big Block Roadster. This incredible Corvette is currently set up as a track car for road course racing but is street legal. The best part is that every part or piece that was changed is fully cataloged and included in the sale of this car. It is powered by a 502CI Big Block crate engine mated to a Muncie M21 transmission with M22 Rock Crusher gearset inside. You also get the original matching numbers 427CI Big Block and matching numbers Muncie M21 Transmission. The previous owner bought this Corvette in the late 1980s and spent five years doing a frame-off restoration on this numbers matching 427 Big Block roadster (picture albums included in the sale) to the full Bloomington Gold standards. Not a detail was overlooked and it won numerous awards at various car shows. Then, in the late 1990s either his youth spent racing cars in southern California or his need to tinker, as he was a former Professor of Mechanical Engineer at Villanova University, took hold. The original motor, transmission, suspension, seats, wheels and tires were all removed and catalogued. THIS MEANS it can be restored to its original condition when it came off the showroom floor with its 427 BIG BLOCK, 390 HP 4-speed or sell the parts or sell the parts etc for a profit. They are labeled and numbered to make it easier.The original block, heads, and complete engine with a factory correct tri-power setup including intake, carbs, air cleaner, etc. is available along scads of other parts too numerous to mention and instruction manuals.
