There is medical circumstances involved with the owner of this car and it is not a good outcome. That is why the restoration is at a stand still. The painting of the car has been taken care of already but that is as far as he can afford to go anymore. The frame of the car and the Motor and tranny were restored by Wade's Corvettes. This part was completed and waiting on the other parts of the car to be painted. That's why he has the car sitting in his building behind his house. The guy who is painting the car does not own a $300,000 paint booth he just paints in it. He works for a body shop that has this paint booth and uses it on Saturdays on his day off to paint his cars and others he is doing on his offtime. The tags were removed because the car is about to be painted. I myself do not like my tags to be painted over and I am sure no one else does either. The body of the car is off the frame beacuse it's a frame off restoration. If you look at the pics in the link you can see the body of the car. If you would like to come look at the car all you have to do is email me and make arrangements to come take a look yourself. This will clear any confusion anyone may have. I was a little confused myself about this car because I saw the seat covers of the car and they are black. The I saw other interior pieces and they are red. I asked the owner what the deal was and he was a little confused himself. We called Wade's Corvettes and found out that the car is a Black car with Black top and red interior not black. They had given the owner black leather seat cover and not the correct red ones. They are now being swapped out for the correct ones. So this is a Black car with Black top and Red interior. I have added pics of all the tags and books including the protecto plate that goes on the car. If you have any questions please feel free to ask. The link to the pics is below.
Thanks, Jeff H.
