Classic 1958 Corvette

1958 Chevrolet Corvette Description

This is NOT a numbers matching car, but I have done quite a few updates over the years to make it easier and more enjoyable to drive. I get looks and thumbs up everywhere I drive or show the car. It is not perfect - just awesome. It is time to pass on to a new owner who can continue to own, drive and have as much fun and memories as I have.
