This particular example is a T-Top, meaning your driving experience is better with some fiddling. In keeping with its factory styling, the car sits on its factory wheels. Now, this 1979 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe Restomod's red interior screams vintage greatness. The current owner reports a new interior with newly upholstered seats; even the carpeting is new!

There's even a new air conditioning unit and a new speaker system reported by the owner making this one cool buy, no pun intended.

Engine

Now for the moment you've been waiting for, what lies underneath the hood?
