So be forewarned that this brand new 550hp LS2 Supercharged Corvette V8 engine and automatic transmission will propel you down the road like a missile and should only be left in the hands of an experienced driver. She was designed to retain an almost stock look on the outside with a custom interior and all upgraded mechanical systems, drivetrain, suspension systems, electrical wiring, etc. As an example of the quality build, she has custom wheels made to replicate the original '58's hubcaps, but in a slightly larger 18' size to improve handling characteristics. This car draws a crowd everywhere she goes and proves the point that you can indeed improve on the original with a little care, understanding and time. This car was driven by Mariah Carey for her new video 'I Stay in Love'. A signed picture of Mariah Carey driving the car is included in the sale. Don't let this very special Corvette get away.
