This Chevrolet Corvette C1 was the subject of a custom build under prior ownership that included modification of the fiberglass body with a narrowed and pinched grille, a smoothed front valance, a cowl hood with dual air inlets, redesigned side coves, 1959 Cadillac-style taillights, and shaved moldings and emblems. Power is provided by a 327ci V8 paired with a four-speed manual transmission, and additional equipment includes a black soft top, dual exhaust outlets, and 17″ American Racing wheels. Inside, the bucket seats are trimmed in black and accompanied by a Motorola AM radio, a Hurst shifter, and a Sun tachometer. This modified C1 Corvette was purchased by the seller in 2025 and is now offered with a pair of 1960-style taillights as well as a South Carolina title referring to the car as a 1960 Corvette.

The fiberglass body has been modified with work that included narrowing and pinching the front grille, removing the front bumper, smoothing the front valance, and shaving the badges as well as re-working the side coves, installing rectangular door handles, and fitting a hood with dual scoops as well as 1959 Cadillac-style taillights. The rear bumper exhaust outlet holes have been filled with lenses, and the fuel filler has been moved inside the trunk compartment. The black paint displays bubbles, runs, and other imperfections visible in the gallery below.

The polished 17″ American Racing wheels are wrapped in 215/60 front and 235/55 rear Falken Azenis tires. Braking is handled by four-wheel drums.

The cabin features two bucket seats trimmed in black vinyl along with a color-coordinated dash pad, carpets, and door panels. Equipment includes a dash-mounted rearview mirror, a Hurst shifter, and a Motorola AM radio. The eight-track tape player is inoperative.

The three-spoke steering wheel frames a sweeping 160-mph speedometer and a tachometer as well as gauges for fuel level, coolant temperature, battery charge, and oil pressure. A Sun tachometer is mounted on the left side or the column. The five-digit odometer shows 57k miles, approximately 100 of which were added under current ownership. The seller states the mileage is not accurate, and total mileage is unknown.
