FS 1967 Corvette Coupe Restomod
Car is SOLD When I contracted with Mike to build my dream car, little did I know what health changes were in store for me and my wife, otherwise this car would never be for sale. I thought I would list it here first before trying other mediums. This is a fresh Mike Coletta build of a 1967 Factory Air Coupe, Blade Silver with Roman Red Leather interior. I picked the car up from Mike last month and have put 340 test miles on it. Here are some the details. Corvette Corrections frame, powder coated semi-black, New LS3-430 with a 4L65E transmission. Dana-33, 3:07 posi rear. Vintage Air front runner system. At 70 MPH engine is turning 1900 RPMs. Tilt chrome steering column with cruise control built into turn signal. Bluetooth radio with input port. Electric parking brake. Dakota Digital VHX analog digital gauge system. Vintage Air retaining original center dash outlet. Detroit Speed headlights, power windows, brakes, hood and steering. I am sure I have forgotten some things so please call or e-mail with specific questions or additional picture request. Lost my Nikon, so this the best I can do with my I-phone. Sorry for the quality and crocked angels. 757-642-0490, earlinda@***.net. $140,000

"Crickets"
One month and 1889 views. I guess folks are waiting until after November and to tell you the truth I understand.
I took the this car for a short ride last week and "Boy" is this thing a blast to drive. No stumbling, no stalling, rides like its on rails, and most of all, no running HOT. A/C on windows down and at 70MPH all is right with the world.
I have spoken to several owners of these cars and they all agree, car is priced fairly and should bring that or more at auction. I fully understand price is a subjective thing, so if you want to make an offer I'm listening. As I always say "If you drive her your gonna want to own her"
Thanks
Earl

Earl, I'm so sorry to hear about the health issues and that you have to sell your dream Corvette. I wish I had the money to buy it. It's absolutely stunning!
Everyone, I've known Earl for about 8 years and would not hesitate at all to buy any Corvette from him.
Best wishes, Earl!

New Price
If I take the car to auction and sell at $175,000, expenses, commission fees and travel would be around $20,000. So,I have lowered my price to
$155,000 and would be willing to help with deliver here in the USA.
Thanks
Earl

Earl,
I have not been on the forum in quite some time so just seeing this post. The car looks amazing and Mike does top notch work, I'm sure you love it! I'm sorry to hear that circumstances are pushing you to sell. If there is anything I can do to help, let me know. I will PM you my number and we can discuss some ways to market the car if you like. Best of luck with everything.
