They are only original once! You can't ever go back and get another one. Corvettes are always sought after, this one is an excellent investment. It would be a fun hobby taking this to the Corvette shows and getting the awards, then eventually the Triple Crown. This car will do it, the value would go up once it does too!
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.
