Description
I am selling a beautifully restored legendary Corvette C3 1980. Brought as a veteran from Cincinnati, USA. While still in the States the engine was overhauled, side pipes were added (they produce an incredible sound) and the windshield was replaced.
The car has a removable targa top. The t-tops are in very good condition, increasing headroom and making the interior more spacious.
Registered in the Czech Republic for vintage plates.
After importation to the Czech Republic, the car has undergone a complete mechanical renewal:
Complete change of fluids, filters
Manifold
Brakes (pads, rotors, and all lines)
Handbrake
Tires
Front shock absorbers
Silentblocks
Front arms
Power steering
Steering column
BT Radio
Speakers
Seals around windows
Replacing locks
Complete interior replacement, sewn by the best upholsterer in Prague (normally works on Rolls Royce, Ferrari etc - total investment 800 EUR)
Carpets - special soundproofing treatment and premium pile
Complete re-stitching in black nappa leather and alcantara (original colour oyster beige)
All interior accessories converted to black (steering column, belts, dashboard, ...
Darkening of the windows with infrared film
Replacement to LED headlights (original parabolas can be returned)
Completely new paintwork in original black. Looks incredible after polishing.
The entire engine and chassis is ready to be bumped up to 450+ HP by swapping the carburetor for electronic injectors (no need to interfere with the engine block or transmission). Injectors are currently installed in the engine and tuned to about 350 hp.
The car is in excellent condition. The car does not require further investment.
The theme of the entire rebuild is black on black with an emphasis on new technology, quality parts and materials.
Reason for selling: embarking on another project. The combination of an old classic with a naturally aspirated V8 and a completely new interior and exterior will bring the ultimate joy of driving.
The car feels light a nimble on the road while producing a characteristic V8 rumble highlighted with the sidepipes. There is so much going on at all times, sound, and vibration. This is a feeler petrol head car and ultimate weekend machinery.
