INTRODUCTION: Stunning color, Stunning color, Stunning color, I can't say it enough! Only 1,750 miles on a rotisserie restoration. It has performance and beauty. The Corvette independent suspension really sets it apart from the others too.

EXTERIOR: Drop dead gorgeous looks! The body is restored meticulously. It is straight with no rust or damage. The doors shut like a new car thanks to me latches. The color is amazing, it really highlights the body's curves. The metallic is laid out evenly and the clear coat is polished to a wet smooth finish. All of the chrome and trim was restored or replaced. The glass and weatherstrips were all replaced. The stance is awesome too. It is rolling on Billet Specialties 20x8 and 20x10 wheels wrapped in performance tires.

INTERIOR: Check out the custom TMI interior including the contoured seat and molded door panels. It also has a headliner and visors. Don't go cranking the window cranks, just gently push up or down and the power windows will do the work for you! The dash is painted slick and was kept vintage looking. It has a really nice looking gauge package including a tachometer. The digital stereo fits in the factory hole and uses stock knobs. Even the Vintage Air electric slide controls look stock! It has a day/night mirror too. The tunes will be coming from kick panel speakers and two 10 inch speakers behind the seat. The tilt column is chrome with a beautiful wood rim wheel. Under the new carpet and behind the seat is lined with sound deadener.

ENGINE COMPARTMENT: It's a beautiful motor compartment in at the heart of it is a Hot Rod Company crate motor. It's a 383 stroker making over 400 horsepower features aluminum heads polished aluminum intake Edelbrock car with electric choke h e i ignition system and a set of block hugger coated headers The front of the motor is a billet runner system with serpentine pulleys polished compressor and alternator along with a modern power steering is a polished reservoir and braided stainless hoses The motors really dressed up some beautiful chromed Chevrolet valve covers and a dual snorkel air cleaner It runs cool with an aluminum radiator is two electric fans aluminum water pump and a polished overflow bottle Everything is installed neatly The engine bay is painted beautifully and I see stainless hardware used throughout

TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Inside the box is painted just as pretty as the outside of the box. It has a refinished oak floor with polished stainless strips and polished stainless hardware was used throughout. It is also upgraded with modern latches and cables.

UNDERSIDE: The body was off the frame and flipped upside down and rotisserie, and that's because the bottom is painted as beautiful as the top. The frame was prepped and painted black, and it has a Corvette independent front and rear suspension attached to it. Up front it has adjustable coilover gas shocks, aluminum control arms and spindles, heavy duty swaybar, rack and pinion steering. In back it has adjustable coilover gas shocks, aluminum control arms and axle shafts. It has an updated brake system with drilled and slotted disc at all four wheels, a power brake booster and vacuum assist pump. The exhaust is polished stainless steel with Dynomax mufflers, the polished tips are peaking out from under the running boards. The fuel system was completely replaced, and the tank was relocated to under the truck. Looking up at the motor it has a high torque starter, chrome oil pan and flywheel cover. The transmission is a 700R4 overdrive automatic with a finned aluminum pan and an aluminum finned remote oil cooler. The driveshaft goes through a safety loop before connecting to the aluminum Corvette rear end.

SERVICE: We take pride in our cars and reputation. Therefore, we built a 2 million dollar, 10,000 square ft service center, and hired a team of technicians to service the essentials on every car we sell.

CONCLUSION: This is one of my favorite vehicles we've had! It is outstanding, park next to 10 others and this one will steal the show.
