Gateway Classic Cars of Philadelphia is proud to digitally present
this one of a kind 1974 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. This is the
well-known Star Wars Vette from years ago. It has a summit 383
Stroker crate engine with a 4-Speed Manual gear box. Back in 1977,
a young filmmaker named George Lucas changed pop culture forever
with the release of the first Star Wars movie. 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 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
