Our Corvette Project is currently for sale! This build was designed to keep the classic feel, but with better performance and higher reliability. We’ve had this car for 7 years, and it puts a smile across our face every time we drive it.

This is originally a South Carolina Car which I purchased 7 years ago. This car has been garage kept during my entire ownership and is completely RUST FREE. This car has won first place, and has participated in many car shows with much interest. 76k original miles and only 2k miles on the new motor!

The car also comes with many spare parts! It comes with the original radio, multiple interior replacement items, a whole new gasket set, the original owners manual, paperwork, two different corvette repair manuals, and other misc items!

Everything drives and sounds great. On paper, the motor should make ~400 HP with excellent street manors and a slightly lopey idle, although I have never had it on a dyno.

This is an extremely clean car with no rust, and all of the difficult and expensive work done for you. Everything works, and this car is a blast to drive. You can drive it fast, or take the roof off and cruise to work with that convertible feel, either way the car does well. Clean title.

Thank you for looking and have a great day!
