West Coast Classics is proud to present a great daily driving example of this older restoration but still presentable and completely rust-free Corvette convertible with a date correct 235cid ‘Blue Flame’ 6-cylinder engine with head casting # 3835913 and assembly suffix stamp F54YG & triple correct original Carter carbs (#2066SA) with “bullet’ air cleaners matched to its factory correct (casting # 3703283 1954) Powerglide automatic transmission and dual exhausts exiting through the rear body panel. Finished in the classic Corvette ‘Sportsman Red’ with a matching ‘Sportsman Red’ interior and a ‘Tan’ convertible soft top. Straight body with fiberglass in good condition with no signs of any major repairs but certainly with some paint imperfections noticeable upon very close inspection. Original bucket seats, floor-mounted factory Powerglide automatic transmission, instrument panel with full factory gauges, Deluxe heater & defroster, removable side windows, lower bodyside chrome trim, dual exhausts, and a correct push-button AM Signal Seeking radio. It has factory wheels and hubcaps on correct bias-ply Whitewall tires. The 235CID ‘Blue Flame’ 6-cylinder engine was rebuilt and is extremely strong and this particular car drives very well – a truly remarkable daily driver that will give any modern-day sports car a run for its money! The Powerglide transmission shifts smoothly through all the gears and the temperature always remains cool!
