Description

There may be no more 'classic car' than the Chevrolet Corvette. This iconic American muscle car was restored in 1978. At that point, some of the parts used were not OEM or correct. It was then stored for more than 20 years.

It came into our shop, and the owner wanted to get it running again and get it sorted correctly. So along with getting it back on the road mechanically, we worked on getting it more accurate as far as originality. Finding parts for these cars isn't too tricky. Finding original NOS (New old stock) is. Now it's back home and cruising happily.
