Gateway Classic Cars of Atlanta is pleased to offer for sale for
the first time since 2015 this one of a kind 1974 Chevrolet
Corvette Stingray. This is the well-known Star Wars Vette from
years ago. It has a brand-new summit 383 Stroker crate engine with
a 4-Speed Manual gear box. The car has 29352 miles showing on the
Odometer. Now that said go over this amazing work of art. Back in
1977, a young filmmaker named George Lucas changed pop culture
forever with the release of the first Star Wars movie. That film
not only ushered in cool special effects, it set the standard (in
the immortal words of Spaceball's Mel Brooks) for movie
merchandising and soon Star Wars branded toys and accessories were
everywhere. Obviously, the first Star Wars movie made an impact on
the world, former owner, and creator of this special 1974 Corvette.
The car showcases many scenes from the movie with hand airbrushed
murals painted on every body panel. The Corvette's body panels were
hand airbrushed by the renown Uniontown, PA resident Rusty Fecek
who spent over 1,000 hours on the car. The Corvette features 20
coats of hand-rubbed lacquer and the richly covered murals have
held up well over the last 35 years. Rusty showed the car back in
the day (see the newspaper article attached) and it earned awards
and praise where he went with it. After he passed away, the car
went to his daughter's garage where it was stored for 12-15 years
before changing hands again. The autobody repairman combined his
art and body work talents to create the car that features purple
and silver as the primary showing colors and red, blue, and yellow
tones. Rusty estimates that there is around 80 coats of paint on
this master piece. The paint job alone was estimated at $10,000 in
1977. Rusty won several awards with the car including first in his
class, most popular car with 90% average, and most outstanding use
of color and paint. Rusty's Life was lived from March 8, 1944 -
November 28, 2017. He died at the age of 73. He left behind this
masterpiece to show his passion for Art and automobiles. This 1974
Chevrolet Corvette Star Wars creation is for sale in our Atlanta
