THE CAR: The previous owner was a serious classic-car enthusiast who maintained a collection of vehicles in an enclosed facility at his property in Scottsdale, Arizona. During his ownership, the Corvette underwent a 2+ year restoration with no expense spared. It was completely serviced from front to back during the restoration.

This is a factory L48 350 4-speed manual convertible with L82-style upgrades and badging. The VIN confirms this is an L48 car, and it is not being represented as a factory L82. The previous owner added L82-style components and badging during the restoration to give the car the appearance and character of an L82.
