Default Daytona Corvette

Hi All

I am looking for some help. I am based in the UK and a good friend has brought his brother's Corvette to me to restore. His brother died some years ago aged 40 and was a Corvette nut owning 5 at the time of his death.

This particular car he always said was a genuine Daytona but I need some help with identifying it.

The VIN on the drivers side pillar has been riveted in place and I assume it is over the original Chevy VIN, it certainly looks like it's been there from day one.

The VIN reads: 0TCN657021

Any help would be really appreciated.

Cheers, Ron

You might want to post a pic of the VIN, and other pics of the car. Good luck with the restoration.

Of course it is not a GM VIN, I am assuming that Daytona's did similar to Shelby's where they riveted their own VIN over the original

I think you are talking about A McBurnie Coachcraft Ferrari Daytona (365GTB) Convertible REPLICA...which was built on a C-3 chassis.

Or another REPLICA.

The chassis and engine we can help with...the body is ANOTHER MFG.

Miami Vice TV show car REPLICA.
