INTRODUCTION: Only 400 miles on a complete Restomod build with a custom chassis, LS3 motor and many more upgrades that make it perform incredibly well! Not to mention it looks incredible too! It's had the same owner since 1992, 33 years! More recently he had it completely redone at a shop that specializes in high end pro touring builds. With only 400 miles, it's like a new Corvette that looks vintage!

EXTERIOR: The paint is incredible! It looks like a piece of candy, so smooth , glossy and wet looking. The body is laser straight, fits nice and features a stinger hood and front spoiler grafted in. It looks like all of the chrome trim and stainless has been replaced. The weatherstrips and windshield were replaced. The convertible top frame is gloss black, all the weatherstrips are replaced and it is upgraded with a black German cloth top. It is sitting proud on new 18 inch Forgeline wheels wrapped in performance tires. The tires are fatter in the back giving it a nice stance, the nubs are still on the tread.

INTERIOR: It has a full genuine leather interior! The seats use the vintage seat pattern with extra bolsters and headrests. The door panels are all wrapped in leather and stitched, same with the dash pads. The instrument panel has the stock layout with all new Classic Instrument gauges and quartz clock. The Custom Auto Sound stereo has kick panel speakers and a sound bar in back. The custom steering wheel is on a tilt column. Before the new carpet was installed it was lined with sound deadener. The console was hand crafted and features a modern shifter with a slap stick.

ENGINE COMPARTMENT: It's an all aluminum 6.2 LS3 motor making 495 horsepower! It has modern fuel injection and ignition systems, stainless headers, the front of the motor has a polished alternator, a/c compressor and pulleys with serpentine belt. It has modern power steering and a hydroboost power brake system. It runs cool with an aluminum radiator, overflow bottle, electric fan and compression hose clamps. The wiper motor was also upgraded. The engine compartment is very clean and proper.

UNDERSIDE: It has a Street Shop chassis that drastically improves handling and braking! Starting with a mandrel bent, powder coated frame that is lighter and stronger. Then it was given C4 Corvette independent front and rear suspension with aluminum control arms, QA1 coilover adjustable gas shocks, rack and pinion steering. The upgraded brake system has drilled and slotted discs at all four wheels, stainless braided hoses and an e-brake assembly. A custom made, low profile ceramic coated exhaust with X-Pipe and Dynomax mufflers has the correct polished tips going through the valance. Looking up the LS3 motor it still looks like new, it has a high torque starter. The transmission is a 4L80E 6 speed overdrive automatic. A custom driveshaft leads back to the rear end which has a street shop aluminum center section and aluminum axles. The floors are pristine fiberglass painted semigloss black, under the footwells have sound deadener and heat insulation.

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: if you are loving how it looks, that ain't nothing! Wait till you're sitting behind the wheel, you turn the key and hear it growl. Once you hit the streets you won't want to stop. The performance and handling are very impressive!

For nearly 30 years, I, Jay Grams, have personally written the highlights for almost every car in our collection. What I provide is my professional opinion based on my experience with these vehicles. However, opinions can vary, and I strongly recommend a personal inspection to form your own view. Our sales team is always available to answer any questions you may have. One great option is to request a personalized walk-around video, where we can showcase the car and share our team's insights. ** Our cars are displayed within a museum setting. If you are interested in a specific vehicle, please schedule an appointment with a salesperson to view it. Without an appointment, there is an admission fee to enter the showroom. If you decide to purchase a car, your admission will be refunded, and you'll receive a one-year museum membership.
