Automatic Power Glide Transmission (1 of 1458 Produced) Power Windows (1 of 698 Produced) And if that wasn't enough, this car is serial #99 - WOW how cool is that?!?! Restored and looking amazing. We acquired this car after chasing it over the last 25 years. My father who was also my business partner first saw this car at a local car show and tried at that show to buy it from it's owner. Needless to say he wouldnt sell, so my father waited.... Each time he would see the gentlemen as the years came and went my dad would hit the man up to sell us his Vette. The owner though was always pretty firm, the car would go to his son when he was gone. My dad never gave up though he continued to hound the owner each time he'd see the car. Finally my dads health got the best of him and he passed away a couple years ago. In late February 2019 my mother gets a call (on my dads number that she never shut off) it was the son of the owner of the car David. He tells my mom his dad is putting a big land deal together and needs to free up some working capital and wondered if Ed (my dad) would still be interested in the car he owned. Anyway long story short (too late) mom tells him of my dads passing so no, but my son might be!!!! Of course I know the car, and the man, because of the years my dad would tell me he saw him again and couldn't pry the car from his mits. YEAH IM INTERESTED.... So I call and 45 minutes later I'm standing in front of the car, knowing I'm leaving with it but trying to play it cool. Thinking how satisfying it would be for my dad to be standing in this position with Dave. What a great guy the owner of the car was. He had lots of nice things to say about the years of my dad chasing him and his car. Dave explained how when my dad was chasing the car it was always nice, but because he had been driving it for many years the car was starting to need things. Just recently finished, but over the course of the last 10-13 years he was bit by bit restoring it and within the last 3 or 4 years finishing the restoration (see some details below) and now the car is actually quite a bit better than when my dad first started his chase. Well needless to say I struck a deal, and I must say the car was worth the wait. As described by Mr. Rose the last owner. Around 2005 took the car apart and started the work on the belly. 5 years later…engine/trans, new dash pad/windshield/carpet, gas tank, radiator work and some chrome.

(Validate entire description for accuracy before bidding/purchasing) About Veits Vettes & Collector Cars Our cars are specialty cars ...collector cars...award winning original automobiles...show stopping restored autos... and newer highline Specialty cars! We scour the country for those rare gems. That beautiful Corvette, or Chevy-Ford-Mopar Muscle Car, maybe a Thunderbird that makes you just burst with pride. How about those amazing Retractables or the fun Rampside, or the stylish Mark II Lincoln, or sporty Turbo Trans Am or prestigious Mercedes? We have collectors all over the world that offer to sell us these cars. In fact that’s how we get most of our cars, from collectors. We avoid auctions whenever possible because we know that’s where sellers take their misrepresented headaches, problems cars they cant sell locally. But when you sell cars of the quality we do, at a price we hope is competitive, as we try to always do, the buying and inventorying becomes particularly hard. We peruse car clubs, newspapers and word of mouth everywhere we go. It's not at all unusual to drive hours out of our way, to look at 1 car. Sometimes, that drive is really worth it. Small towns can have rare gems. You have to look at a lot of cars, in order to buy only a few. That's a lot of crawling in and under to find the right stuff. But that's ok. We're fussy – because our customers expect it of us. They rely on that. Many of our clients are repeat buyers. They already are lucky enough to have 1 or more "toys" purchased from us. Sometimes they want to add to their collection, sometimes they just want a different one to play with, or they want to trade. Whatever, their reason, we've got the answer. We've got the investment car. You can drive ours right off the floor and enjoy a day in the sun or take them to a car show, with pride. Lots of our cars have won trophies, regionally and nationally for their new owners. Of course, we get walk-in sellers too. Someone has a car they have grown tired of, or perhaps they inherited a car they really don't want. Perhaps they just need the money. If that's a specialty car - if it's been lovingly cared for, and is either a collector car, a muscle car, exotic, a hot rod, a classic, a foreign, or an antique automobile - be it a sedan convertible, t-top, targa top, hard top, coupe, convertible or roadster...we're interested. Our customers come from all walks of life and all parts of the world. Most of the time a new client can't physically come to inspect a particular car. That's ok, we'll walk around it and describe it to them, over the telephone and or Facetime. We have a reputation for giving only honest information, when describing our beauties without leaving anything out. We do have some customers that leave disappointed....Sometimes a customer wants a 'fixer-upper". Sorry, we simply don't carry those. We don't have those "Winter Projects". The closest we can come to that, is a show worthy, drivable, almost perfect car that someone wants to make into a totally flawless show stopper. It will never be allowed to get dusty - not even the engine. Those buyers will feel like they're in a candy store. It is our top priority as collectors ourselves, to describe all of our vehicles accurately, to the best of our ability. Even though we scrutinize each car before we buy it, we resell cars, we do not restore or warranty them. Therefore we cannot guarantee any of the claims made by previous owners, their agents, or consigners. We recommend that any individual, contemplating purchasing any used car or collector car- from us or anyone else - to either inspect it themselves, or send a trustworthy individual, to verify that it’s description is accurate. If you have trouble locating such an individual, we will be happy to recommend an impartial, unaffiliated individual or firm to assist you . Okay, you've dreamt about the car you saw here. You can afford it. You can't stand it - you just gotta have it. But now what? You don't want to drive it all the way home. We'll either ship it to you ourselves, or arrange for shipment via a major enclosed car shipper. These shippers do nothing else but ship cars - of all price ranges. They're good, dependable, careful and fully insured. Drivers tell us constantly how cars being delivered, from other sellers, often bring tears of regret to the new owners. But when they ship OUR cars, the proud new owners are never disappointed!!!! We get phone calls all the time, from our clients telling us their joy at the car being just what we said it was.

Automatic Power Glide Transmission (1 of 1458 Produced) Power Windows (1 of 698 Produced) And if that wasn't enough, this car is serial #99 - WOW how cool is that?!?! Restored and looking amazing. We acquired this car after chasing it over the last 25 years. My father who was also my business partner first saw this car at a local car show and tried at that show to buy it from it's owner. Needless to say he wouldnt sell, so my father waited.... Each time he would see the gentlemen as the years came and went my dad would hit the man up to sell us his Vette. The owner though was always pretty firm, the car would go to his son when he was gone. My dad never gave up though he continued to hound the owner each time he'd see the car. Finally my dads health got the best of him and he passed away a couple years ago. In late February 2019 my mother gets a call (on my dads number that she never shut off) it was the son of the owner of the car David. He tells my mom his dad is putting a big land deal together and needs to free up some working capital and wondered if Ed (my dad) would still be interested in the car he owned. Anyway long story short (too late) mom tells him of my dads passing so no, but my son might be!!!! Of course I know the car, and the man, because of the years my dad would tell me he saw him again and couldn't pry the car from his mits. YEAH IM INTERESTED.... So I call and 45 minutes later I'm standing in front of the car, knowing I'm leaving with it but trying to play it cool. Thinking how satisfying it would be for my dad to be standing in this position with Dave. What a great guy the owner of the car was. He had lots of nice things to say about the years of my dad chasing him and his car. Dave explained how when my dad was chasing the car it was always nice, but because he had been driving it for many years the car was starting to need things. Just recently finished, but over the course of the last 10-13 years he was bit by bit restoring it and within the last 3 or 4 years finishing the restoration (see some details below) and now the car is actually quite a bit better than when my dad first started his chase. Well needless to say I struck a deal, and I must say the car was worth the wait. As described by Mr. Rose the last owner. Around 2005 took the car apart and started the work on the belly. 5 years later…engine/trans, new dash pad/windshield/carpet, gas tank, radiator work and some chrome.

(Validate entire description for accuracy before bidding/purchasing) 1961 Corvette Convertible - RARE Number matching Dual Quad 283 V8, OPTIONED with the SUPER RARE POWER CONVERTIBLE TOP 1 of 442 produced)!!!! Automatic Power Glide Transmission (1 of 1458 Produced) Power Windows (1 of 698 Produced) And if that wasn't enough, this car is serial #99 - WOW how cool is that?!?! Restored and looking amazing. We acquired this car after chasing it over the last 25 years. My father who was also my business partner first saw this car at a local car show and tried at that show to buy it from it's owner. Needless to say he wouldnt sell, so my father waited.... Each time he would see the gentlemen as the years came and went my dad would hit the man up to sell us his Vette. The owner though was always pretty firm, the car would go to his son when he was gone. My dad never gave up though he continued to hound the owner each time he'd see the car. Finally my dads health got the best of him and he passed away a couple years ago. In late February 2019 my mother gets a call (on my dads number that she never shut off) it was the son of the owner of the car David. He tells my mom his dad is putting a big land deal together and needs to free up some working capital and wondered if Ed (my dad) would still be interested in the car he owned. Anyway long story short (too late) mom tells him of my dads passing so no, but my son might be!!!! Of course I know the car, and the man, because of the years my dad would tell me he saw him again and couldn't pry the car from his mits. YEAH IM INTERESTED.... So I call and 45 minutes later I'm standing in front of the car, knowing I'm leaving with it but trying to play it cool. Thinking how satisfying it would be for my dad to be standing in this position with Dave. What a great guy the owner of the car was. He had lots of nice things to say about the years of my dad chasing him and his car. Dave explained how when my dad was chasing the car it was always nice, but because he had been driving it for many years the car was starting to need things. Just recently finished, but over the course of the last 10-13 years he was bit by bit restoring it and within the last 3 or 4 years finishing the restoration (see some details below) and now the car is actually quite a bit better than when my dad first started his chase. Well needless to say I struck a deal, and I must say the car was worth the wait. As described by Mr. Rose the last owner. Around 2005 took the car apart and started the work on the belly. 5 years later…engine/trans, new dash pad/windshield/carpet, gas tank, radiator work and some chrome. In 2014, took the car to Tom Lindle (very well known and respected restorer locally). He set engine/trans back in the car after, Universal joint and labor to bore, assemble and replace cam bearings.

(Validate entire description for accuracy before bidding/purchasing) About Veits Vettes & Collector Cars Our cars are specialty cars ...collector cars...award winning original automobiles...show stopping restored autos... and newer highline Specialty cars! We scour the country for those rare gems. That beautiful Corvette, or Chevy-Ford-Mopar Muscle Car, maybe a Thunderbird that makes you just burst with pride. How about those amazing Retractables or the fun Rampside, or the stylish Mark II Lincoln, or sporty Turbo Trans Am or prestigious Mercedes? We have collectors all over the world that offer to sell us these cars. In fact that’s how we get most of our cars, from collectors. We avoid auctions whenever possible because we know that’s where sellers take their misrepresented headaches, problems cars they cant sell locally. But when you sell cars of the quality we do, at a price we hope is competitive, as we try to always do, the buying and inventorying becomes particularly hard. We peruse car clubs, newspapers and word of mouth everywhere we go. It's not at all unusual to drive hours out of our way, to look at 1 car. Sometimes, that drive is really worth it. Small towns can have rare gems. You have to look at a lot of cars, in order to buy only a few. That's a lot of crawling in and under to find the right stuff. But that's ok. We're fussy – because our customers expect it of us. They rely on that. Many of our clients are repeat buyers. They already are lucky enough to have 1 or more "toys" purchased from us. Sometimes they want to add to their collection, sometimes they just want a different one to play with, or they want to trade. Whatever, their reason, we've got the answer. We've got the investment car. You can drive ours right off the floor and enjoy a day in the sun or take them to a car show, with pride. Lots of our cars have won trophies, regionally and nationally for their new owners. Of course, we get walk-in sellers too. Someone has a car they have grown tired of, or perhaps they inherited a car they really don't want. Perhaps they just need the money. If that's a specialty car - if it's been lovingly cared for, and is either a collector car, a muscle car, exotic, a hot rod, a classic, a foreign, or an antique automobile - be it a sedan convertible, t-top, targa top, hard top, coupe, convertible or roadster...we're interested. Our customers come from all walks of life and all parts of the world. Most of the time a new client can't physically come to inspect a particular car. That's ok, we'll walk around it and describe it to them, over the telephone and or Facetime. We have a reputation for giving only honest information, when describing our beauties without leaving anything out. We do have some customers that leave disappointed....Sometimes a customer wants a 'fixer-upper". Sorry, we simply don't carry those. We don't have those "Winter Projects". The closest we can come to that, is a show worthy, drivable, almost perfect car that someone wants to make into a totally flawless show stopper. It will never be allowed to get dusty - not even the engine. Those buyers will feel like they're in a candy store. It is our top priority as collectors ourselves, to describe all of our vehicles accurately, to the best of our ability. Even though we scrutinize each car before we buy it, we resell cars, we do not restore or warranty them. Therefore we cannot guarantee any of the claims made by previous owners, their agents, or consigners. We recommend that any individual, contemplating purchasing any used car or collector car- from us or anyone else - to either inspect it themselves, or send a trustworthy individual, to verify that it’s description is accurate. If you have trouble locating such an individual, we will be happy to recommend an impartial, unaffiliated individual or firm to assist you . Okay, you've dreamt about the car you saw here. You can afford it. You can't stand it - you just gotta have it. But now what? You don't want to drive it all the way home. We'll either ship it to you ourselves, or arrange for shipment via a major enclosed car shipper. These shippers do nothing else but ship cars - of all price ranges. They're good, dependable, careful and fully insured. Drivers tell us constantly how cars being delivered, from other sellers, often bring tears of regret to the new owners. But when they ship OUR cars, the proud new owners are never disappointed!!!! We get phone calls all the time, from our clients telling us their joy at the car being just what we said it was.
