This striking example of the Corvette Stingray has been fully restored and custom upgraded in 2008 in the United States at a cost of over $156,000. All works have been fully documented with receipts on view within the history file. The engine is a 383ci. Chevy stroker small block (factory unit) kicking out 480hp & 465 ft/lbs of torque.

Polished intake manifolds, braided lines, stainless steel bolts combine to wow the senses when you lift the lid. The five-speed Keisler manual transmission uses power steering as well as ceramic silver headers, custom 3″ transitions from headers and 4″ chromed Grand Sport-style side-pipes. Finished in Ford electric green with white leather custom interior, C5 sport seats with custom mounts finished in ‘Vette Essentials style’ white leather. Are you ready for some adrenalin-filled, open top motoring
