Vehicle details and ownership history provided by the owner.

I purchased this Corvette back in 1978, when enthusiasm for muscle cars was everywhere. Forty-eight years later, it is still with us—and we still love the car.

Over the years, it spent a long time in our showroom. Today, it remains a low-mileage, mostly original example, with its factory interior components and original engine and transmission.

At its heart is the 454 big block. It still has plenty of grunt, and that is part of what makes this Corvette so special to us.

This is a matching-numbers vehicle. After half a century together, its originality and the memories it carries make it much more than just another car in the collection.
