This Corvette is a breathtaking cruiser; adrenaline-pumping fast and still daily driver reliable. You will know all you need to know immediately when you drive it. Some cars are great on paper but don’t deliver that FEELING – This one exceeds all expectations, and makes you feel like a giddy kid the second you hit the gas pedal. Seat of the pants feel on it is definitely a WOW experience. Sounds amazing! You have to hear it to believe it. It gets A LOT of attention. It has a fully custom built engine by Hutter Performance Center in Ohio with hand built everything. Have receipts (posted below) from them for almost $25,000 of work NOT including the engine block and heads. Everything has been gone through with a fine tooth comb, including wiring, hoses, gauges, switches, ignition, even a rebuilt suspension with polyurethane bushings for a much better, tighter, and modern feeling ride than the original. Never dynoed, but in the 400-450hp range. Feels even faster than that! Always babied, and synthetic oil changed far more often than needed (about every 1,000 miles or 1x/year whichever comes first). Meticulously maintained and regularly detailed by a professional with all aspects top notch and even minor things that pop up in any classic car have been addressed immediately regardless of cost. Big block raw power, but with ease of the 350 and better handling due to proper weight balance! Extremely reliable and low maintenance – you get all the cool factor and fun of a classic without the usual hassle! Also, even with all the work, high performance engine, and enhanced suspension leading to more modern performance and feel, the car maintains the full classic original look from the outside. This beautiful automobile is kept 100% of the time in a large climate-controlled garage designed specifically to store high end cars. Selling because I travel a lot for business and we have more cars than time to drive them, so narrowing down the collection. My loss is your gain! Engine compartment is spotless. Interior is in excellent condition throughout – the black bucket seats are like new with zero visible wear and very comfortable. The black convertible top is also like new and has seen little use. Multi-coated black paint is in good condition, average to above average, with some light wear and a couple very minor chips. There is a very small/thin (about 2.5” long) crease under the paint in the fiberglass over the left front wheel well and a 1” long crease on corner of same fender by corner of the hood (this happened before I owned it, I’m told it occurred during a photo shoot when a model sat/leaned on the fender). Not long after getting the car about 4-5 years ago, I found true 1965 restored license plates, reading “BLT 350” representing the “Built 350” under the hood. Paid around $300 for them. These come with the car. Only the rear is on the car, if I can find the front you can have it. This is the ultimate high-performance street-legal masterpiece ready to drive, race and show. She is a real head turner and is currently part of a private collection of exotic vehicles located in Georgetown, Texas. If you are a serious buyer and decide to visit the car before buying, I will be happy to give you a personal tour of the other cars on location. Please browse the photo gallery and call 512-868-4632 with any questions you may have. I am happy to provide anything you'd like, and of course welcome any personal visits or independent inspectors.
