The Details

This Corvette has been restored with a clear focus on authenticity, craftsmanship and drivability, resulting in a faithful tribute to the iconic L88 specification. At its heart is a rebuilt original 427 cubic-inch L88 V8, producing approximately 550 horsepower, paired with a manual transmission and rear-wheel-drive layout. The drivetrain delivers immense torque, strong acceleration and the unmistakable soundtrack of a classic big-block Chevrolet.

The car is configured in left-hand drive and finished in deep burgundy paintwork, which presents in excellent condition following a high-quality repaint. Panel fit and body alignment are noted as excellent, and the paint shows no visible blemishes, chips or defects. Complementing the exterior are period-correct Torque Thrust alloy wheels fitted with MasterCraft lettered tyres, along with side-exit exhausts, a front spoiler, and the distinctive Le Mans-style headlight conversion, giving the car an unmistakable competition-inspired appearance.

Both a removable hardtop and a brand-new soft top are included, providing flexibility for open or closed driving. Inside, the black interior trim presents in excellent condition, retaining its original-style layout, instrumentation and controls, all of which are reported to be fully functional with no electrical faults or warning lights.

The engine bay is clean and highly detailed, reflecting the quality of the restoration throughout. The vehicle remains in original specification and has not been modified or customised beyond its faithful L88 tribute configuration. No non-original parts are fitted, preserving its authenticity and collector appeal.

The car has been in the care of its current owner for five years and has been serviced annually by the owner since returning to the road in 2022. It was first registered following restoration on 26 November 2022 and has suffered no known accident damage.

With its documented restoration, outstanding presentation and iconic specification, this Corvette stands as a high-end tribute to one of Chevrolet’s most revered performance models — equally suited to concours display, enthusiast events, or spirited road use.
