Cool car but I believe its a single chain Lt-5......so it can be driven but not one you can drive the hell out of...belongs in a collection.

Brett has done some unreal 53 Corvettes....


He brought this piece of history to the last Gathering @ BG and what a beauty.


Love to see this completed!

Thanks, guys. Just decided to put it out there and get some exposure for a narrow market. I don't need or have to sell it. Just fishing around. We'll see what comes of it. I really don't expect that it will sell. I love the car and intend on finishing it in the Spring. But if someone wants to pony up the $$$, I'll finish it for them and still get the satisfaction of doing the project.

If I sell it.....look out! I'll be in the market for something rare and unusual, for sure. Can you say "new ZR1 with some upgrades"???????

It's right here in Pendleton.

Honestly, I have no idea what I'll buy next, if this one sells. I tried to buy Zora's 55 a couple of years ago. That would have been a neat car to have. Who knows what lays ahead for any of us? I still like Oren's 93, blk-red #017, A LOT.

Why buy a reconstruction when a real one can be had for $500K. LOL

Oooh! the factory "Super Sport" ZR-1, my favorite ZR-1 of all time. It's got a lot of parts on it made out of unobtainium.
I heard it was auctioned off. Anybody know what it he paid for it?

If anyone seen the car on display at the Corvette Museum at Bowling Green this year. You would have seen the expert craftsmanship that was put into this car. And it look's even better close up !

Yesterday I had two people at work ask if I saw the listing. Kind of neat knowing people outside the Corvette regulars are taking notice. It shows how much attention that car can bring. I showed them the thread about the car and they were twice as impressed knowing what the car started as... Great job Brett getting more people knowing about KOH.....
