The grey and silver exterior evokes the Corvette’s 25th Anniversary look, paired here with fresh weather stripping to ensure a cleaner seal throughout the cabin. Inside, the classic blue interior has been rejuvenated with new carpeting, adding freshness without compromising its period-correct appeal. While the body and lines stay true to factory spec, the updated trim and detailing breathe new life into the overall presentation.

Under the hood lies the numbers-matching 5.7L V8. That's paired with an automatic transmission.

Meanwhile, the exhaust system has also been renewed, giving the V8 its proper rumble while improving flow. With power sent to the rear wheels, the car promises the kind of raw, analog driving experience only a true classic American sports car can deliver.
