Highlights

  • Comes with USA title and European import documentation
  • Matching numbers

The Appeal

The C3 is arguably one of the most iconic cars ever produced in the USA. Coke-bottle styling, a rebellious reputation for speed, and a glorious V8 soundtrack all made for a truly remarkable formula, perhaps one of the most potent of its era. Ever since, it's become a hugely aspirational car - practically synonymous with the American scene.

This 1978 350cu in example boasts an eye-catching dark blue metallic livery (paint code 83L) and a bright, contrasting white cabin. The result is a beguiling retro profile that we expect will charm any enthusiast. Originally based in the US, and now in the Netherlands with all duties and VAT paid, this Corvette is ready to register.
