Description
This Chevrolet Corvette is a stylish first-generation example of the iconic American sports car, offered from long-term ownership and benefitting from previous restorative maintenance. It is powered by a later 327ci (5.4-litre) ‘Turbo-Fire’ V8, driving the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission. The car has been with the seller for seven years, and the odometer shows 97, however this is not warranted.
This C1-generation Corvette is finished in Tuxedo Black with a black convertible roof, over a red leather-trimmed interior, punctuated by chrome trim accents. It rides on a set of 15-inch steel wheels with polished hub caps, featuring imitation two-spoke spinners and shod with Cooper Trendsetter SE white wall tyres. The factory specification includes a Wonder Bar radio, heating and ventilation controls, and manually operated window winders.
The car has been retrofitted with a smaller diameter steering wheel and electric power steering. It will be supplied with its original title, some maintenance invoices, and the original brochure.
It is understood that this Corvette has been restored twice in its lifetime, as well as having major paint and bodywork maintenance carried out in 2017. This C1-generation Chevrolet Corvette is a handsome example of the iconic American sports car, offered from long-term ownership and benefitting from previous restorative maintenance. Presented in a timeless colour scheme and powered by a later 327 cubic-inch ‘Turbo-Fire’ V8, it would make a fine addition to any assembly of landmark classics, and a stylish companion for fair-weather weekend cruising and car show visits.
