Vehicle Description
A car like this 1958 Lister Corvette replica is all about being a
bit better. After all, this can be considered in the same style and
pricing as the Cobras, but with a slick blue presentation,
performance-built V8, and a fully-independent competition
suspension, you can run circles around the Shelby cars out
there.
The striking presence starts with the paint. The Indigo Blue
already was out to attract attention, but what's really impressive
is the level of care it received. This car was built in 2006 and
has less than 1,200 miles on it. And the consignor says it was
never used in completion. That's why the clearcoat shine can still
highlight all the amazing curves of the body. From the low-slung
front end, to the huge power bulge hood, to super-slick rear that
looks like a Jaguar D-Type - it's one of those cars that impresses
people even if they don't know how significant the design is! And
while no classic is complete without brightwork, this one utilizes
it for some of its best completion components, like the large
17-inch Billet Specialties wheels, side pipes, and roll bar.
More of the European influence can be seen inside. After all the
pattern on the premium Carmel leather bucket seats looks and feels
almost like a classic Ferrari. The same goes for the large round
speedo and tach that have their own individual pods in front of the
driver. But more than look great, this one is built to be a true
track machine. That's why you have Simpson four-point harnesses, a
detachable Grant sports steering wheel, and a shifter in that
perfect position for your right hand.
While the exterior and interior have plenty of European influence,
it's all American muscle under the hood. It starts with a 400
cubic-inch V8 that has been bored .30 over. Plus, it's been
professional built by White Performance Racing with all the right
components like aluminum heads, Holley four-barrel carburetor,
Edelbrock intake, Pro Comp distributor, fabricated valve covers,
and long tube headers that feed the thunderous side exhaust. A
strong V8 need a strong gearbox, too, and that's why you also get a
TCI Street Fighter TH400 three-speed automatic transmission. And
don't forget to check out the undercarriage photos. There you'll
see a reinforced competition chassis with all the best suspension
components. The fully independent suspension, adjustable coilovers,
and four-wheel vented disc brakes are a terrific-looking package
that also will also hug the road better than just about any other
classic race-bred machine.
The included build receipts document the serious investment it took
to get a roadster like this. But all you have to do is see the
quality over every inch of this build to realize it's worth every
penny. So don't miss out, call today!
