ONE OF A KIND! PROFESSIONALLY CUSTOM BUILT 1968 CHEVY CORVETTE.
THIS TIME CAPSULE IS STRAIGHT OUT OF THE 70'S. IT BEARS A BIT OF A RESEMBLANCE TO THE CORVETTE FROM THE MOVIE "CORVETTE SUMMER!"
AWARD WINNING CUSTOM SHOW CAR! THIS BEAUTY LOOKS LIKE SOMETHING THAT "HOT WHEELS" WOULD MAKE INTO A MATCH BOX CAR!
FINISHED IN 1979, THIS CAR HAS BEEN METICULOUSLYMAINTAINED, DRIVEN SPARINGLY, AND HAS BEEN A SHOW STOPPER AT EVERY SHOW.

PROFESSIONALLY BUILT BY A CUSTOM SHOW BUILDER AND BODY SHOP OWNER WHO BUILT THIS WORK OF ART FOR HIMSELF. THIS CAR WAS A SEVERAL YEAR PROJECT THAT WAS STARTED IN 1971 AND COMPLETED IN 1979! THIS CORVETTE WAS IN "ROD AND KULTURE" MAGAZINE IN THE SUMMER 2017 EDITION AFTER BEING ADORED BY THE CROWD WHEN IT WAS BROUGHT TO THE 2017 CLEVELAND PISTON POWER SHOW AFTER YEARS OF HIBERNATION. THIS BEAUTY WAS COMPLETED IN EARLY 1979 AND SPENT A FEW YEARS ON THE SHOW CIRCUIT THROUGHOUT THE LATE 70'S AND EARLY 80'S THEN GOT TUCKED AWAY AND ONLY TAKEN OUT SPARINGLY TO SHOWS.

THE PAINT ON THIS CAR IS 40 YEARS OLD AND HAS HELD UP BEAUTIFULLY WITH ONLY A FEW MINOR BLEMISHES. YOU CAN TELL THIS CAR WAS DONE RIGHT AS IT HAS MOST DEFINITELYHELD UP BEAUTIFULLY OVER THE TEST OF TIME! YOU WILL BE HARD PRESSED TO EVER COME ACROSS A CUSTOM CAR WITH THIS TYPE OF WORKMANSHIP AGAIN! THESE TYPES OF CUSTOM CARS JUST DON'T COME UP VERY OFTEN! IT TRULY LOOKS LIKE A HOT WHEELS MATCH BOX CAR!

Pleaseremember our cars are classics and most of our inventory is over 40 years old. They're built to drive and do develop drips from long periods of sitting due to expanding and contracting seals and gaskets. It's seldom that we come across a classic that's completely drip free. We do our best to describe our inventory in full detail, to include pictures and video; however, due tothe age of these cars, we're unable to offer a warranty. While we only deal in vehicles that are in quality condition, we always prefer the buyer take the time to check the vehicle out in person or arrange for a third party vehicle inspection.
