Will this be a flip or another family member?.... nice complete find Brian, patients paid off, possible jewel !!! Curious....how many were the Big Block 454 Coup and Convertible ?

It does not take much brain capacity to work out that you, sir, have a thing for corvettes :) I love original cars and to see them preserved and taken care of. I have a soft spot for the C3s but I am way to afraid of the galss fibre to ever buy one. This will be another fantastic project to follow and I will be enjoying every minute of it.

Will be a blast to follow you and your journey with what seems to be an awesome find! Congrats to your Vette C3 Brian! If I would give you a tip to use until you switch them or if they are good to use. It's the rubber seals in all of the parts where you can opening them as the doors and hood and trunk lid. That's to fast get them clean and do 1 or more treatment with the 303 Rubber Seal Protectant. This is a magic product to restore them and make them soft again. It ups the ability to keep water and moist out of the car and also reduce the wind noise from them a lot. Maybe you already know this. Otherwise I recommend you to try it out and see how you like it. It's also great on new or the vehicals you drive in the winter when the rubber seals can get wet and freezing so you don't get into the vehical LOL. The 303 Rubber Seal Protectant is an awesome product to reduce that risk to almost a non risk of it to happen. Also maybe a gentle clean on the other rubber seals and bushings. And maybe treat them with the 303 Aerospace Protectant. It's something in the 303 that restores rubber in an impresive way. These things are also something that is known to dry out on vehicals stored for a long long time. And when you start to use them again they fail many times or gets very worn very fast. Engines and the gear box rubber bushings and also on the suspension and also all of the rubber tubes in the engine compartment. Basicly where you have rubber the 303 can save them many times or gets them to not be worn so fast as if left untreated. Will be interesting to follow your project!

Ashish Patel I agree and with Brian’s skills he can make this baby shine without new paint.

Exactly! And is how I like to restore them.

I agree...these seals have held up well. I normally would do a rinseless ...but this had to much dirt on it.
