For sale in our Dallas showroom is a 1976 Chevrolet Corvette. Yes,
I promise you that this is a '76 Corvette, and it is an L-82 on top
of that. For 1976, the L-82 RPO brought the higher compression 350
CID to the Corvette, and a 30hp bump to 210 horsepower. But enough
of things everyone knows about Corvettes, let's get to this
Corvette, known as the Eldorette. The Corvette has been a go-to
vehicle for automotive artistic expression for years, being the
starting point for movie cars and private creations alike. This one
of a kind Corvette now has a completely hand laid fiberglass body
that combines great styling cues like creased fenders of
Cadillac's, and the sleek silhouette of a C3 Corvette. Lots of
pieces from different vehicles were hand chosen to get the exact
look the builder desired. The headlights are from a 78 Oldsmobile
Cutlass while the taillights are 1970's Chevette. Oddly enough,
some Ford parts made an appearance on the rear end with a Granada
bumper and a 90's Ford Probe spoiler, and a Ford paint color was
even used in the form of Firestorm Red from a 2003 Mustang. On the
front and rear of the car are lighted Cadillac wreaths from a 69
Cadillac. The roof of the car brings us extensive custom work as
well. Starting with a 1978 Eldorado, the top was chopped 4 inches
in the rear, and T-Tops were added to keep the Corvette vibe alive
and well. When designing a vehicle such as this, there is only once
choice for the interior: crushed velour in red to match the paint.
This soft and luxurious material covers most of the interior
including the seats, dashboard, and center console. If you are
looking for a great driving C3 Corvette that will set you apart
from the crowd, this is it. With just over 60,000 original miles,
this car has a long life of turning heads and comfortable cruising
left in it. To view this vehicle in greater detail including HD
