NOTE: IF YOU ARE SEARCHING FOR A CONCOURSE, 100% CORRECT NCRS TOP FLIGHT EXAMPLE, THIS IS NOT THE CAR FOR YOU. THIS L88 IS BEING SOLD FOR A FRACTION OF THE CURRENT MARKET AND AUCTION VALUE OF A TOP FLIGHT L88 VETTE. THE REASON FOR THIS IS THAT ALTHOUGH THE NUMBERS MATCHING ENGINE BLOCK STILL RESTS IN THE ENGINE BAY, THERE ARE COMPONENTS THAT ARE NOT CORRECT TO A NCRS RESTORED L88. ITS THAT SIMPLE. THIS BEAUTY HAS BEEN BEAUTIFULLY RESTORED, BUT IT HAS BEEN RESTORED TO AN OWNERS PREFERENCES, AND IT IS NOT COMPLETELY CORRECT. 1152 MILES SINCE RESTORATION. PLEASE VIEW THE PHOTOS AND READ THE DESCRIPTION, THEN YOU CAN COME TO YOUR OWN CONCLUSION. WE DO NOT HAVE AN EXTENSIVE HISTORY ON THIS VEHICLE.

THESE CHANGES WERE MADE BACK IN THE DAY, BEFORE THE MARKET VALUE OF THESE VEHICLES SKYROCKETED INTO INFINITY.

GEAR HEADS PURCHASED HOT RODS AND MODIFIED THEM IN THE ERA. THE VIN NUMBER, ENGINE CODE, AND BUILD DATE ARE CLEARLY VISIBLE ON THE ENGINE PAD ON THE BLOCK IN A PHOTO BELOW.

HOWEVER, COMPONENTS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, CARBURETORS, INTAKE MANIFOLD, AIR CLEANER, ALTERNATOR, HOSE CLAMPS, WATER PUMP, ETC. ARE NOT CORRECT. WE BELIEVE THIS IS THE PERFECT OPPORTUNITY FOR THE CORVETTE BUFF. THIS CAR CAN BE SHOWN, DRIVEN, OR TAKEN TO CRUISES JUST AS IT IS. HOWEVER, IF THE BUYER CHOOSES, THEY MAY PURCHASE ORIGINAL COMPONENTS, REINSTALL THEM, AND IMPROVE THEIR INVESTMENT EVEN MORE.
