Restomod 1980 Chevrolet Corvette C3 with LT4 V8 engine!

This special C3 Nicknamed Corvette Bruce Wayne Edition from 1980 has a massive LT4Crate engine under the hood and has only been driven 11 miles (approx. 18 km) since the conversion. The vehicle is currently available MAXmotives (Boca Raton, Florida) for sale and is easily on par with a current Vette in terms of performance due to the supercharged GM V8 in the bow. The 20.000-liter Eaton R1,7 TVS compressor, which is coupled to the 1740-liter V6,2 monster, rotates at a mighty 8 revolutions per minute. He generates impressive 640 PS & 854 NM torque and is also coupled to a modern 4L85e automatic transmission. But it's not just the engine that impresses. The optics with the special "Hobby Shop Custom Galaxy Black" finish is not bad either.

Among other things, the vehicle got a successful body kit with different aprons, with massive side skirts and an XXL hood with power dome. In addition, black 20-inch aluminum rims from the company rotate in the wheel arches rider, behind which there is a high-quality sports brake system with perforated and slotted discs from the manufacturer Wilwood.

As far as we know, the vehicle was taken care of by the specialists from Hobby shop custom car garage built from Boca Raton (USA). And the unique piece is of course also blessed with a new interior. You can see a complete restored interior with high-quality leather interior including diamond stitching on the door cards (Alcantara door panels and black leather seats), there was a Sport steering wheel and also a Holley EFI display with digital LED screen. By the way, this is a complete one Frame-off restoration.

the price makes you sit up and take notice

And the C3 does not lack a certain degree of comfort either. For example, a vintage air conditioning system has been installed for hot summer days and the lighting has been converted to modern LED technology. And of course the acoustics are completely different. In addition to the new engine, this enables a sidepipe sports exhaust system with elegant carbon tailpipes. Only the high selling price of the C3 at $175.000 before taxes and other fees isn't all that positive. But given the cost and time invested in the vehicle, it's not entirely incomprehensible.
