I personally bought this car from the owner that bought the car
new. The new buyer will be getting a real time capsule with all the
certification to back it up. I've been doing this over 30 years and
I realize how special this car is. All the most sought after list
of items that make a Corvette desirable balled up into one. This is
Corvette gold!
I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for
virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant
amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my
professional impression of the vehicle.
Our salesmen are happy to assist with descriptions and making sure
your questions are answered. One great suggestion is letting us do
a walk around video that explains the car's condition in
detail.
