If you are unfamiliar with these cars, they are an exact replica of a 1953-55 Corvette that was produced back in the late 70s and 80s. They stopped production because GM was too concerned they looked like their real cars. Exactly the same dimensions as original ones.
Car is TURN-KEY, that means you get in, turn the key, hear the engine roar and start driving. GOOD brakes, GOOD steering, Lights/signals work. Drive it home.
Paint and body were done back in the early 2000s and vehicle was stored and taken on occasional cruises, car shows, and around town. Serviced regularly and kept in good shape. Shows nicely in its original pennant blue, with some normal imperfections like small chips, touchups here and there etc as you would expect from an old car. Paint is single stage just like the original cars were. With a good buff and polish it would look great. All chrome is VERY NICE and cleans up well.
Interior in VERY GOOD SHAPE, just some normal discoloration from age on seats and door panels. Convertible top snaps in place as shown in pic (it's shrunk a little so needs to be heated and fitted to use). Also included is a very nice custom made tonneau cover (as shown).
These cars are getting RARE as not too many survived in good shape, and very few look all stock like this one, much less in an original color like pennant blue with white. Great color combo and has great eye appea.
PLEASE ONLY BID WITH INTENTION TO BUY. NO GAMES.
