Kit car or not, that's a lot of car for the money. I wish is was closer, I would go look at it. Any CF'ers nearby? Nobody is getting rich selling this car, unless they won it in a raffle. I like it.

Corvette Central sells a complete reproduction 57 body they call "Concept 57".
My guess - this car is a Corvette Central body on either an original or repro frame.

"Completely restored" ?? If it's a kit what's there to restore?

Uber, who's closer? You in Montana, or me in South FL? Wanna race and see who gets there first? Somebody oughta jump.........unless it's a scam. The CC body alone is $15k. I left a message with the number, but no call back, yet. Something doesn't seem quite right. I hope someone here on the CF gets it, if it's real.

I'm stewin bout it now, things get serious if I make a call, it means I've worked out the logistics. Only way I fork over that amount of cash is in person by myself or represented by one of my nephews. This thing is making me nervous.
It has both tops and air
the price has to be wrong

I haven't checked their catalog lately, but Corvette Central had a complete 56-57 body (including doors, hood, trunk) for sale at one time. They only had the fiberglass for sale, no hardware, windshield, instruments, accessories or any trim came with it. A buyer would have to acquire everything else seperately. The one and only time I saw the CC body was at Bloomington several years ago and I thought it looked pretty good. I don't know of anyone else that was offering a complete body.

Scott, Why don't you go take a look at it. If it is what it appears to be you can drive it up here to the Cape on your next visit and I'll buy it.
Unfortunately, things that appear to good to be true usually are.
