Is there any way to put drivability adapters on it so that you can drive it.  I have see a few conversions that are very interesting.  Don't give up yet there may be a way.

I know about the handicapped controls in fact I own Team Mfg. which makes portable hand controls for handicapped drivers. At my age the Corvette is just to hard to get in and out of for me and I have decided to sell it and stick with my handicapped equipped custom van. I have it finished and stored now in a locked garage waiting on a serious buyer to come drive it away. Hate to let it go but I'm 78 and this is a young mans car.

That definitely is a red vette.  Was there any smog requirements then and if so does it have them installed?

 I'm sure the smog requirements will vary from state to state. In Ca. they demand everything that was on it from the factory ( smog pump and lots of plumbing), when built in Ca. (one of the most strict states)  Importers have to bring it to state standards before it's legal.

What is the asking price?  What is the engine?  How many miles on the car before resto.  What was done to the chassis?  What was done to the drive train?  What transmission?

Thanks, I took my time on it alone, almost three years finding all the right stuff for it and doing all the work myself I had a custom motorcycle business
TEAM CYCLE USA building custom motorcycles and restoring classic ones that I set my son up in. Always wanted a 77 C3 last of the flat back style and was contacted by a customer that wanted one restored. Wasn't in the car restoring business but since it was my favorite classic vehicle I decided to go for it so it was left with me to begin and for him to come up with the cost.
To make a long story short, he lost his job, couldn't come up with the restoration cost so I finally bought it from him and finished it my way, the work history and photos of the rebuilding are
HERE This vehicle has not been tagged or insured and has less than 50 miles on it since rebuild setting locked in a garage.
 
It is now finished, rebuilt inside and out, top to bottom but I am now retired and in a wheel chair from an accident. cannot get in and out easily without help so as bad as I hate to I will sell and stick to my handicap equipped van.
 
Any of you know a Corvette lover that wants a classic one practically new never driven, and is ready to go, have $12,250.00 and over two years labor in it, $15,000.00 will get it.
