Just purchased
Yesterday I was able to buy from e-Bay this, originally Polo White/Red '54 6 cylinder Vette. As the following pictures will line out, it will need a full body-off restoration. For now it will be put in storage to be done in a couple of years once I have finalized my Split restoration.

It needs some work...
The car is currently in a pretty rough condition but I consider it as a diamond in the rough. Most of the main parts are included, some are missing (e.g. master cylinder, side curtains and hubcaps).

Interior
Most of the interior bits are there. The right hand seat seems to be missing and the most right gauge (clock?) together with the radio.

Door Panel
This door panel seems to be in pretty good condition...

Softtop
The softtop rear bows are present but it badly needs new vinyl!

Chassis
The frame looks ago, some rust but no holes appear to be present...

Engine compartment
The engine and head seems to be number matching. Distributor shielding is missing...

Automatic gearbox, drive shaft and differential are all present.

The carbs appear also correctly, some air filter bullets are in the trunk.

Casting number of the head, seems ok as well!
