The Chevrolet Corvette is a looker, there’s no doubt about it, and when you also throw a full restoration process in the equation, it easily becomes an award-winning car.
And that’s exactly what this Chevrolet Corvette right here actually is, as it’s a showstopper that has already received several accolades for the way it looks at notable events.
The car, which has already been fully restored in 2006, is powered by the 265 (4.3-liter) engine developing 195 horsepower and paired to a Powerglide 2-speed automatic transmission. The numbers-matching engine feels and works like on day one after it’s been rebuilt, and Corvette Mike, the garage that’s selling the Vette, claims it features correctly date-coded manifolds.
The Corvette has been driven for only 500 miles (804 km) since the restoration has been completed, and it comes with a clean California title.
But according to the garage, what sets this model apart is the list of impressive awards it has already received.
“[It] holds the National Corvette Restorers Society (NCRS) highest qualification of Top Flight, placing it in the top 3% of judged Corvettes. Documentation of its judged performance at the 2006 Quartz Hill event in California is included and shows a score of 4,363 out of 4,510,” the sellers explain.
And now comes the interesting part. The car is being sold as part of an auction on eBay, and the bidding starts at just $1. On the other hand, there’s a catch that everybody must be aware of: the auction comes with a reserve, so while you can indeed bid with pocket money, unless the reserve is met, you won’t be able to secure the car.
There’s a good chance the Corvette ends up selling for tens of thousands of dollars, especially since it’s not only fully restored, but also because it has already won several prestigious awards in the last decade.
