“The Chevrolet Corvette is one of the most iconic expressions of American muscle cars from the 1960s; it’s a two-seater sports coupe, with a classic and charming design that is just as captivating today as it was seventy years ago.
The Chevrolet, in Mint Blue Pearl color, is a unique exemplar that underwent meticulous restoration, upgrades, and detailing from bumper to bumper. No detail was spared, including areas hidden from the eye. The engine heads are painted in a unique shade of blue, the sides of the intake manifold are upholstered in off-white leatherette, as well as the seat upholstery. The car is equipped with a modern sound system with a retro-inspired design.
Under the elongated hood lies a modified and upgraded LS3 V8 engine, with a displacement of 6.2 liters, delivering around 300 horsepower. This power unit is still used today in the production of performance cars on both roads and off-road. The car rides on modern low-profile sports tires, and the rear axle is reinforced by the Currie performance workshop. Four exhaust pipes underneath the rear bumper announce to onlookers that this Corvette is truly unique.
The mesmerizing growl of the V8 engine is almost unheard, as the car has traveled less than 500 miles since the extensive overhaul, becoming a static display in a museum-like condition. The question arises: are collector cars meant to be kinetic sculptures, or is it better to drive and enjoy their capabilities?
The Corvette’s representation as an icon of American technological power was etched into the public consciousness in the early 1960s when Chevrolet provided Corvettes to all NASA astronauts participating in the space program. The astronauts paid one dollar a year for the lease.
In conclusion: let it fly.
Price: $330,000.”
