Friday’s Featured Corvettes For Sale: Terry Michaelis Likes These Vettes!

Prolific Corvette buyer and seller Terry Michaelis of Proteam recently listed these three highly collectible Corvettes on his blog tMichaelis Corvette Perspective. The three cars, a 1963 Corvette Coupe, a 1968 T-Top Corvette and a 1970 Converitible, would be coveted by any collector, yet Terry’s cars always seem to have that extra bit of provenance that pushes them to the top.

1963 Corvette Sting Ray Sport Coupe

1053A..1963 Corvette Split Window Coupe, 327-360 hp, (fuelie), 4 speed, numbers match (appears to be the real deal) and has the factory original body/trim tag. Sebring Silver paint with Black interior. Body-off restored in show condition with a GM OEM body. NCRS certified in June 2009. Motor, transmission, and rear end numbers are all matching, sequential, and appear to be the real deal. This is as good as I have seen for quite some time (TM). Optioned with T-10 transmission, 3.36 posi, Wonderbar radio, fuel injection, aluminized exhaust, hubcaps, and white stripe radials. Most all factory correct type components including the spare, jack, jack tools, seat belts, washer system, tar top battery, shifter, shielding, air cleaner, alternator, idler pulley, F.I. unit, F.I. fuel filter, exhaust heat shields, roller gas door assembly, long base mirror, glove box door, cookie tin hood, owners manual, sales brochure, and T-3 headlights. Documented with the NCRS certificate, ribbon, judging sheets, restoration photos, and owner history. From past owner of 29 years. Looks, runs, and drives excellent. CC:1 $169,000.00

1968 Corvette T-Top Pilot Line Car (#15)

203X..1968 Corvette T-Top Pilot Line Car (#15), 327-300 hp, automatic, numbers match, (appears to be “The Real Deal”), 58,480 actual miles. Lemans Blue paint with Bright Blue interior. Body-off restored with newer paint, interior, exhaust, brakes, and tires. This preproduction/Pilot “escapee” car was built in 1967 with many early (April/May 1967) major components as the launch of the coupe was delayed until February 1968 (around VIN #10,000). This car is full of handmade parts and probably spent the first six months of its life at the Milford proving grounds doing body development duty. (author: John Hinckley) – – – WOW!!!??? Optioned with factory side exhaust, power steering, power brakes, telescopic, shoulder harness, posi, SS brakes, AM/FM radio, tinted windshield, rallys, and raised white lettered radials. Most all factory correct type components including the spare, seat belts, washer system, shifter, shielding, and air cleaner. Documented with restoration photos. From past owner of 24 years. This super rare early preproduction pilot line car is the fifteenth (15th) C-3 (1968 to 1982) ever built!!!! This is an important part of Corvette history as the 1968 launch was the ugliest of them all and is why Zora was brought back to Corvette for 1969 to steer the ship. Looks, runs, and drives excellent. CC:+2 $50,000.00 This is serial # fifteen (15)

1970 Corvette Convertible with LT-1 V8

1049A..1970 Corvette Convertible, two tops, LT-1 (350-370 hp), 4 speed, numbers match, (appears to be the real deal), 57,644 actual miles. Monza Red paint with Black interior and Black soft top. Body-on restored with show paint, newer interior, top, chrome, exhaust, brakes, and tires. Also has recent rebuilt motor and extensive receipt file to back-up a most complete cosmetic and mechanical restoration. Optioned with power brakes, tilt-n-telescopic, transistorized ignition, black vinyl auxiliary hardtop, M-21, 3.55 posi, SS brakes, AM/FM radio, audio alarm, tinted glass, rallys, and raised white lettered radials.

Great colors, great options, great condition, and great paperwork. Also has 2008 state safety inspection. How many real red 1970 LT-1’s with documentation have you ever seen? Very rare especially since only 1,287 LT-1’s were produced in 1970 with about one-third being convertibles. Looks, runs, and drives excellent. CC:1 $80,000.00
