General state
🚘 The body was restored in America before being imported to France. It was a beautiful quality job, with removal of all the fittings and replacement of the gaskets. More than 10 years later, there are no signs of paint reaction, which is common on poorly restored fibreglass bodies. The interior is very well preserved and the soft top is in good condition
🔧Mechanically:
The car is in excellent running order. It starts from a quarter turn and runs smoothly. This one comes with the option of twin 4-barrel carburettors giving 245bhp and a 4-speed gearbox, appreciable things in driving pleasure. The gearbox was overhauled in 2025, at the same time as the brakes.
The running gear is in good condition, and the shock absorbers were replaced in 2014. Handling is reassuring and the steering is precise, in keeping with the standard of a C1 Corvette.
A circuit breaker has been judiciously fitted.
Structurally, the car is sound.
