The best of both worlds! It retains its amazing original looks but
hidden under the hood is a ZZ4 crate motor, vintage air system, and
that 4 speed shifter is actually a 5 speed. Restored from the
ground up about 6,000 mi ago. It looks like it was just done, the
new owner will enjoy putting a few miles on himself! This one is
made to be driven and enjoyed!
EXTERIOR: Ahhh, that classic coupe body style is incredible!
According to the tag it was born a marina blue car. It has been
repainted correctly and is very glossy. The body is 100% laser
straight and all the panels are properly aligned. The doors close
like a new car, headlights open and close properly. It has dual
mirrors with an embossed bow tie on them. The chrome and trim are
shiny and straight. The glass is in great shape and have been given
a light tint. It has original style 15 inch rally wheels that are
wearing red line tires. They are actually brand new, modern BFG
radials that are size 205/75R15.
INTERIOR: Everything has been redone and looks amazing! Absolutely
stunning bright blue genuine leather upholstery that's in fantastic
condition, cushions are firm too. It has matching leather armrest
cushion. The headliner, visors, dash pad, door panels, and
carpeting all look fresh and clean. The instrumentation, steering
column, wood grain steering wheel, and center console all appear to
be original but in remarkable condition. Even though it's upgraded
to a 5-speed the builder retained it's original style chrome
4-speed shifter. A retro stereo fits right in the factory hole and
a removable sound bar sits in the back.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Just turn the key and cruise! The GM crate ZZ4
350 engine is rated at 355 horsepower and delivers the ultimate
reliability alongside stellar performance. It comes complete from
GM with oil in it ready to go. It has been upgraded with HEI
ignition and headers. It's also upgraded with a Vintage Air heat
and A/C system that has a polished compressor. The power steering
gearbox looks replaced or rebuilt. The engine runs cool thanks to
an aluminum water pump and radiator along with a correct shroud and
new clutch fan. A chrome air cleaner and stainless Chevrolet script
valve covers dress up the engine nicely. The underside of the hood,
fender wells, and firewall are all painted satin black.
UNDERSIDE: Extremely clean under this beauty! It has front and back
independent suspension which looks like it's been rebuilt. The
steering also looks rebuilt. It features disc brakes at all four
wheels with fresh looking calipers, lines, emergency brake cables
etc. The dual exhaust appears to be a little fatter and has
stainless mufflers with chrome tips exiting the valance. The frame
and chassis components are clean metal neatly painted black. The
fiberglass floors and spare tire carrier look great too. Looking up
at the motor it is still clean and has a high torque starter. It's
upgraded with a 5-speed manual transmission. All related parts were
replaced like the clutch, shift linkage and more. It has a custom
driveshaft that leads back to a 3.36 posi rear end.
SERVICE: We performed our inspection and correctly routed the
belts, replaced the wiper arms, serviced the AC system, fixed the
interior lights, and installed new radial tires.
This is a class act! Rich colors, luxurious leather interior, and
the reliability of a GM crate motor; you can't go wrong! To top it
off she's received a meticulous ground up restoration. If you're in
the market for a classic Corvette with turnkey reliability and awe
inspiring performance, look no further!
I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for
virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant
amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my
professional impression of the vehicle. Our salesmen are happy to
assist with descriptions and making sure your questions are
answered. One great suggestion is letting us do a walk around video
that explains the car's condition in detail. **These cars are
displayed in a museum. If interested in a particular car, make an
appointment with a salesman to see that car. Without an appointment
there is an admission fee to enter the showroom. If you buy a car,
your admission will be refunded, and you will be given a 1 year
membership.
