Russo & Steele Auction Scottsdale 2008
Consignment # 7544

This vintage Vette has the popular original red and white exterior with the original hardtop. The interior has been renovated and features striking leather red and white seats. The engine is a professionally built 1964, 327, 300 H.P. Vette engine that is balanced, with high output package, street ported heads, modern fuel injection, with original paperwork from B & B Performance, Redding, California. New exhaust is 2 « aluminized mandrel-formed with cross-over and Accelerator mufflers with chrome tips. This car was originally a dual-quad car with picture documentation (I do not have). This Vette has a long documented California history with California historical plates. The last owner was actor Hill Harper of CSI New York fame. Hill told me this car was his daily "studio-city" driver so he spent approximately $20,000 at Corvette Mike's in Anaheim California to make it drivable and reliable (I have the receipts). Corvette Mike's installed a power brake conversion with 4-wheel disc brakes and a power steering conversion. The 4-speed was also completely rebuilt with new clutch and Hurst shifter. The wheel's are Coy's 17" with high performance Kumho radial tires.
