Liberty Walk has long ties with the C8 generation Chevrolet Corvette, as they first modified one a few years back. The pictured copy is not exactly new either, as we first wrote about it almost two years ago.
However, between now and then, it visited several auto shows, including the 2022 Tokyo Auto Salon, and was used by the tuner as a marketing tool to promote its business. And since it no longer sits under the spotlight, Liberty Walk has listed it for sale.

Said to be a mid-2020 model, it has in the region of 14,000 kilometers (8,700 miles) under its belt. It looks very good on the outside at least, where it rocks the company's famous widebody kit. This consists of fender flares at the front and rear, a large apron, side skirt attachments, a big wing, and a new diffuser.

Did you notice the black wheels wrapped in Advan tires, too? Well, they are part of the visual makeover signed by Liberty Walk. This 'Vette sports the tuner's typical decals on the outside. The dominating hue is yellow, which looks kind of orange in low-light conditions, and the black elements, including the roof and pillars, provide some contrast.

Strange enough, the tuner couldn't be bothered with releasing images of the cabin. The same goes for our initial coverage, so we do not know if it sports any modifications here. However, since no pictures usually mean stock in the world of tuned cars, chances are the interior of this one hasn't been touched. If we're wrong on that, feel free to correct us.

You do know that Liberty Walk is not famously known for making its projects punchier, don't you? Thus, the only oily bits that were tweaked here revolve around the suspension, as it sports an adjustable one, hence the low ground clearance.

This is the Stingray, aka the base version of the C8 Corvette, and it rocks a 6.2-liter V8 engine behind the seats. When equipped with the performance exhaust system, which is an extra, it produces 495 horsepower and 470 pound-feet (637 Nm) of torque. The bowtie brand claims it can sprint to sixty miles an hour (97 kph) in under three seconds, maxing out at 194 mph or 312 kph). And if the quarter-mile time is what you're interested in, then you should know it needs around eleven seconds for that.

Liberty Walk usually reveals the asking price of the cars they're selling, but in this case, they haven't. As a result, you will have to contact them if you want to find out how much this 'Vette costs. So, how much would you be willing to pay for it, assuming that the Stingray starts at $66,300 before destination and options?
