Welcome aboard ....thats a great car ...I love 50's Corvettes , a friend had a 57 a few years back and Glan my laminator buddy , had a 61 more recently ...gorgeous cars ...
That body price will turn into pounds by the time you get it back ...so a basic shell landed in the U.K. will take about a quarter of your budget.
Finding a good donor over here will be tricky too ...building a custom chassis or modifying a European option could lead you into dangerous IVA territory , so think carefully before you dive in ...
Are you hoping to go with the V8 engine still ?
Cost of screen , grille etc isn't cheap either ...
I build this type of stuff for a living and would struggle to put one of those together successfully in your budget , so you will need to tackle most of it yourself ...
Its a vast subject to cover on here really ..please feel free to pm me your telephone number and I can run through some options for you ...
