Re: Grandfather to the LT5!
I would love to see a thread on this. While not a ZR-1, all Corvettes are special and nothing quite like a MY 53
What do you say Brett? :handshak: |

I'm only doing the drivetrain for this particular 53. I have tons of pics of the other 53's that I have done. I've never done a thread for any of them like I did the EX5023 car. Currently restoring #067. Body in paint waiting for the original frame to be restored. 1953 #'s 201, 220 and 293 awaiting their turn. http://i45.tinypic.com/281ri9g.jpg |

Re: Grandfather to the LT5!
Sometimes things just come togeather. Back in Feb a vender from my Jan meet called me. He had been looking at a collection of vettes a guy wanted to sell. In among the things was a chassis for a 53 that had been hit in the frount but had no body. He had some other parts but most important he had a title but not an up to date registration. Wanted about $20 k if I remember right. I told him to make sure the guy re-registered the car immediately and would call around about the frame. So I called Brett as he is the 53 guy, well it just so happened that he had a customer car he was doing the restoration on that had a correct vin tag car but no frame or title. In another one of those you got to be kidding moments the vin 67 matched the vin on the frame 67 that was for sale. So Bretts customer bought the frame with the now current title/registration and is assured no title problems in the future.

Aside from Dennis's Atomic Orange Z, yours is my favorite non standard color. I bet it turns a lot of heads. :cheers: |
Re: Grandfather to the LT5!
Wow! Thanks for the compliment. I just got lucky and bought it that way. Paul Denhert and Rick Mueller get the credit for doing all the mods and give Pete credit for the 500hp.
Thanks again! |
