Beautiful V8 monster Corvette! mechanics good & Engine superb!
In fact as you can see by depicted by photos an absolute fortune has been spent on mechanics and upgrades to include:

Upgraded suspension
New lower tubular control arms
New shocks
New springs
New bushes front and rear
Polyurethane body mounts

If you are mechanically minded you will realise the above runs into several thousands of pounds worth of work. Bear in mind the standard models of these are worth £30,000 then I am sure you can imagine what this one is worth with the upgrades as above
NEEDS A PAINT JOB OBVIOUSLY! AS YOU CAN SEE BY THE PHOTOS THIS WILL BE NICE AND EASY
PLEASE NOTE!!! THIS IS NOT THE USUAL RUN OF THE MILL C3 CORVETTE! THIS IS THE EARLY SHAPE C3 AND PRODUCTION OF THIS STYLE STOPPED IN 1973. THIS IS THE MORE HIGHLY SOUGHT SHAPE WHICH THE CHROME REAR BUMPERS AND DROP WINDOW AT THE BACK (AS OPPOSED TO LONG SLOPED REAR ON LATER MODELS) AND AS FEATURED IN MANY MOVIES INCLUDING RUSH HOUR IF YOU WANTED TO CHECK THE SHAPE OUT ON BIG SCREEN!
Simple turn of the key and it starts straight up and UNLIKE MOST!! It doesn't stall on idle or insist on having you holding the revs like nearly all classics
I HAVE DESCRIBED THIS AS A PROJECT BECAUSE AS A BUSINESS WE ARE CLASSIC CAR RESTORERS AND IF IT WAS US (DUE TO ITS ABSOLUTELY SUPERB FOUNDATIONS) WE WOULD REALLY GO TO TOWN ON IT AND GIVE IT FULL REPAINT, PUT IN NEW DOOR CARDS (CHEAP AT £50 EACH) AND REPLACE ODD BIT OF AGED TRIM FOR NEW IF NEEDED AND BASICALLY MAKE IT LIKE ITS JUST ROLLED OUT THE FACTORY!! IT REALLY IS A SUPERB CAR WITH PERFECT FOUNDATIONS AND UNDERNEATH IS SOLID! IN FACT MOST OF IT IS NEW! REALLY IS AMAZING OPPORTUNITY!
IN FACT THIS IS OUR DREAM CAR WHICH WE WOULD SPEND MANY MONTHS TRYING TO SOURCE!! BUT I AM NEEDING TO RAISE SUBSTANTIAL SUMS FOR A PROPERTY AND NEED TO RELEASE EQUITY QUICK SO I AM SELLING ALL OF MY WELL SOURCED PERSONAL STOCK! HENCE EXTREMELY LOW PRICES
THE ULTIMATE CAR FOR SHOW OR DAILY DRIVER
A SUPERB LOOKING CAR, STANDS OUT MILES FROM THE REST.
I CONSIDER THIS IS ALREADY A £20,000 CAR WHICH IS GOING UP IN VALUE DRAMATICALLY MONTH BY MONTH! I AM SELLING THIS AND MY OTHER STOCK OF PERSONAL CARS (SEE OTHER LISTINGS IN COMING DAYS) MASSIVELY UNDER VALUE
This car was imported from USA directly by me in my personal name, I have applied for the NOVA which will be with me in a few days no doubt, I will forward the nova number onto winning buyer when we receive it. For those of you that don't know then the nova is basically confirmation that all import duties and taxes are paid and allows the right to apply for V5 so its just simple case you apply for V5 (simple form, V55)
OBVIOUSLY INSPECTIONS WELCOME AND YOU CAN ACTUALLY START AND DRIVE IT IF SERIOUS BUYER! BUT THERE IS NO POINT COMING TO VIEW IF YOUR GOING TO OFFER SILLY MONEY OR A LOT LESS, I HAVE PRICED IT AT SILLY MONEY ALREADY ;) SO I EXPECT IT TO SELL WITH HASTE
THIS WILL OBVIOUSLY GENERATE AN EXTREME AMOUNT OF INTEREST BEING CHROME BUMPERED EARLY SHAPE AND I HAVE PRICED RIDICOUSLY LOW FOR QUICK SALE SO PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU ARE IN A POSITION TO PROCEED BEFORE YOU JUST CLICK BUY IT NOW! DO NOT PANIC BUY IF YOU ARE NOT IN A POSITION TO PROCEED!
THIS HAS THE POTENTIAL TO LOOK LIKE THE MOST MONSTROUS STEALTHY SLEEK CORVETTE AROUND
This car also has the benefit of being classed as a historic vehicle and therefore it does NOT require MOT (MOT EXEMPT) and it has FREE road tax
MY JOB IS SPECIFICALLY TO DEDICATE EFFORT AND TIME SOURCING CLASSICS WITH SUPERB FOUNDATIONS TO RESTORE TO FORMER GLORY, IN A WAY ITS FRUSTRATING SO MUCH OF MY TIME HAS BEEN DEDICATED TO THESE CARS ONLY TO BE SOLD! THEREFORE I WOULD PREFER TO SELL TO ENTHUSIASTS AS OPPOSED TO SOMEONE WHO JUST WANTS TO TURN A QUICK BUCK. YOU HAVE THE PEACE OF MIND THAT I HAVE DONE ALL THE HARD WORK OF SOURCING ALL SUPERIOR CARS AND IMPORTED THEM AFTER MANY MONTHS IN PROCESS!
WE CAN SOURCE ANY PARTS NEEDED (NO MATTER HOW SMALL OR BIG) FOR CORVETTES AND MUSTANGS IF ANYTHING EVER NEEDED IN FUTURE
collection from Rugby, Warwickshire or can deliver the car anywhere in England or Wales for £250
