1954 Chevrolet Corvette

Manufacturer: Chevrolet
Price: $99,900
A true time warp. A beautiful and award winning restoration of this first full year production vette. Extensive owner history shows the car is well travelled and has been in the possession of recognized corvette collectors and enthusiasts. The 1,227th of 3,640 built in the 1954 model year at the new St. Louis production plant. One of 300 in the Pennant Blue/Shoreline Beige color sheme. The car has had a body off restoration in the late 80's followed by 2nd and 3rd flight awards. Very correct throughout. A very unique and rare auto, great investment opportunity, and a chance to own one of the original Corvettes...the beginning of the long and rich history of what is now a GM performance icon.
