This is the exact kind of story you want your classic to have. This is coming off of nearly 50 years of ownership. It's the car the consignor bought as a reward when coming out of the service. And when you keep a car for virtually half a century, you make sure to treat it right. So not only does that mean decades of care, but also this received a recent multi-year restoration.

It really looks impressively vintage everywhere from the GM hoses to the finned Corvette script valve covers. And underneath the wide and shining air grabber are dual Carter four-barrel carburetors for proper C1 power. The care and investments make for a motor that fires up nicely for the feeling of a classic Corvette that you can confidently enjoy on the road. Plus, the control of the four-speed manual transmission and the howl of the dual exhaust is an intoxicating symphony for the senses.
