Dealer Description

This C3 Corvette isn’t shy about what it’s packing! Between the visible supercharger, side pipes, and chrome wheelie bar, it wears its attitude on its sleeve. Transparent T-tops and polished wheels round out a muscular street machine aesthetic, while factory styling remains largely untouched for just the right blend of classic and custom. Finished in a dark copper/orange with excellent gloss and depth, this Corvette shines in every light! The ghost stripe on the hood is a tasteful touch that hints at the beast beneath. While not a fresh paint job, it’s in very good condition overall with minor imperfections such as light scratches and small touch-ups—consistent with a car that’s been enjoyed, not parked and forgotten. The tan cloth interior appears largely original and has held up well over the years. The seats are comfortable and in nice original condition, with minimal visible wear. Power windows add an extra touch of convenience. The dash has suffered from sun damage, as these cars are apt to do, and hidden beneath a custom-fit carpeted dash mat. The overall cabin is clean, functional, and features an Alpine stereo for added audio performance. It’s the perfect backdrop for cruising or carving up backroads! Here’s where things get serious. The original numbers-matching 350 V8 has been transformed with dual 4-barrel carburetors and a polished supercharger. The transmission is old reliable–a TH350 3-speed automatic, for cruising convenience. Additional upgrades include an MSD ignition coil, chrome alternator, chrome brake booster/master cylinder, and an aluminum radiator for cooling support. Despite its aggressive setup, this car remains streetable and doesn’t require any race-car know-how to operate. It’s fast, it’s fun, and it sounds amazing through those chrome side pipes! Make no mistake–listening to that supercharger whine takes the Corvette experience to a whole new level.
