Amazing 1954 Chevy Corvette, Fresh 3x1 bbl 235 I6, Powerglide, Wonderbar Radio

Welcome to Street Dreams as we celebrate our 25th year in the classic and muscle car business. Speaking of celebrations, this year Chevrolet is celebrating the Corvette's 70th birthday and its rolling record as the world's longest continually produced sports car. It is absolutely amazing to me that the 'Vette has survived, and in fact flourished, since the early days of the Eisenhower administration! Virtually identical to the 1953 model, this outstanding 1954 is a fascinating example of where it all began. Constantly evolving, it's sobering to realize that today's Corvette has over 3 times the power and 4 times as many gears as this 1954! Lift the hood of this jewel and you'll see the numbers matching (BCN 3835911, BCD 3/4/54, EC F54YG) 235 I6 with the wild 3x1 bbl setup. Many younger enthusiasts are stunned to discover that this was the Corvette's very first engine, with the legendary small block arriving in 1955. Additional features include the automatic transmission, Wonderbar radio, and 6.70-15 wide whitewall tires mounted on correct wheels with correct covers. This gem appears to be largely original, with the exceptions of a repainted hood and consumables (tires, battery, etc.). After years of sitting in various collections, we decided to have the engine freshened. The builder exclaimed that there was virtually no visible wear inside the engine, indicating very low mileage. The remaining paint has visible crazing, again indicating originality. This important piece of automotive history runs and drives beautifully and attracts attention like Lady Godiva! Ray-Bans and sunscreen not included. One more killer Corvette from the Texas Hill Country's premier source for classic 'Vettes and the team that can make your dream a reality.
