Car history:
THIS IS THE ONE YOU'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR!!! I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN 2006 FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNER. THE ORIGINAL OWNER SOLD IT IN THE 90'S AND BOUGHT IT BACK 4 YEARS LATER AND PUT IT THROUGH A COMPLETE AND THOROUGH NCRS RESTORATION WITH ALL MATCHING NUMBERS. (ORIGINAL ENGINE, CARBURETOR, TRANSMISSION, ETC.) The original owner was a member NCRS since 1977 and NCRS judge. If you're looking for a driver quality vette, then there are plenty of them on ebay, buy one of them, not this one. THIS IS NOT YOUR TYPICAL 1980 CORVETTE, AND IS TRULY INVESTMENT QUALITY. THE "SHARK" BODY CARS WILL DO NOTHING BUT RISE IN VALUE AND TOP QUALITY IN THE RIGHT COLORS AND OPTIONS WILL ALWAYS BE WORTH THE TOP MONEY. THE CAR RUNS BEAUTIFULLY, IS A TEXAS CAR, ORIGINALLY SOLD BY PARRA CHEVROLET IN IRVING, TX, ONE OF THE LARGEST CORVETTE DEALERS IN THE STATE. THE CAR HAS 2,928 MILES ON IT SINCE IT'S COMPLETE, NO EXPENSE SPARED RESTORATION, HALF OF WHICH HAVE BEEN DRIVEN DURING THE 4 YEARS I HAVE OWNED IT.
