purchased from the original owner, who special ordered it from
Clippinger Chevrolet in Covina, California. Repainted in its
original LeMans Blue in 1983, the car received a Top Flight award
from the National Corvette Restoration Society in 1990. The stroker
crate engine was installed in 2003, and other modifications include
the 5 speed transmission, a cowl hood, carbon fiber rear leaf
spring, and an aluminum radiator. This C3 is now offered with its

California Black plates. A Lecarrera steering wheel has been added,
