The Chevrolet Corvette C3 is one of the most immediately recognisable cars in American motoring. With its long-nosed profile and slicked-back styling, everything about this remarkable car screams American muscle, hammered home with impressive V8 burble and plenty of strength under the bonnet.
This particular example, picked out in a striking Mille Miglia Red, is a matching numbers car that has undergone a stroker upgrade, improving performance markedly and no doubt creating a pure thrill on the road. Originally from California, it has been fully set up and cosmetically refreshed, and appears in smart condition for its age.
The car's automatic transmission has been overhauled at a cost of £3,000, while the suspension and steering have also been upgraded, improving the car's handling and ride comfort. All of this comes together to create a truly beguiling classic. Make no mistake - this Corvette is a compelling mix of retro style and modern performance.
