off" custom award winning c3 corvette. It placed 2nd at the 2016
Houston Autorama in the "Mild Sport Custom" class and 2nd at the

L-48 but was replaced with the desirable 427 Turbo Jet out of a '69
Corvette. The engine was rebuilt only 5,000 miles ago and runs like
a champ. It has cast iron ported and polished heads, a freshly

will throw you back in your seat, smoke the tires then hook up and
go if you try. The brakes are freshly rebuilt disc brakes with new
master cylinder. The body of the car is slightly different from the
