1971 Corvette convertible 4 speed LT-1 rat rod project 63 frame off

Up for auction is a 1971 Corvette LT-1 convertible with matching number close ratio m-21 4 speed transmission and correct rear, trong running V8 non matching engine. This is a good driving car that can be driven while finishing to your liking. The project began over 10 years ago by the prior owner who removed the body and completely restored the frame and surrounding components, rakes etc... I do not know why he chose to go with the "manta ray" or "shark nose" Convertible top frame is in great shape though the canvas needs to be replaced. Glass looks good, indows roll up and down good. Brake lights and interior lights are working, eadlights have not been mounted but wiring is all ran to the front for them. Please look at pictures and let me know if you have any questions.239-6 eight two- 3 two eight 5. Thanks for looking!!
