Sweet looking car and I love the color. Have any interior pics? How about any current undercarriage or under hood pics?

Thomas,

So sorry to hear you want to sell your gem. Maybe somone from the old world is wise enough to grab this beauty. I will pass the link on in the German Corvette forum.

Good luck with the sale and don't be a stranger.

Thanks Martin, some really good memories for all!!

btw I might need your help with overseas shipping, seeing as you are probably an expert with that by now.

That's a tough question. For anyone who has done a restoration on a car and spent countless hours in the garage working on that car...not sure if they would drive the car daily.

There is under 2K miles on new engine. Car was built for long cruise trips. The AC equipment is all there but the plan was to install Vintage Air. The windshield wiper system works, it's just an air issue that I haven't fixed.

This looks like a great value for someone looking to get on the road quickly in a nice restomod. Great work!

wow you're selling your coupe, surprised since you put in all that work. If anyone has questions on the work I did I have pictures of the work detailing like all the custom work that went into it.

Someone is going to get a great car. Good luck with it.

I remember this pic, that's my 68, along with Tony's 80 and Mike's 73...and of course, the blueray

Sorry to hear you're selling, was looking forward to more cruising this summer

I have cruised with the blueray many times, car runs great and turns heads wherever it goes, hoping it finds a good home

Is that a world formula, animal or clone motor on that kart....? My son raced for over 12 years....Down here in the south we ran on dirt ovals. It was a blast.

Good luck at the track....
