Own one of the most famous Corvette's ever known! Mark Hamill, yes, Luke Skywalker Jedi from Starwars drove the original film car in the 1978 movie Corvette Summer with his co-star Annie Potts. This actual car was used in the Gas Monkey garage episodes and has been in other short videos. When we purchased the car we completely repainted it to it's correct custom read metal flake paint job exactly how it was done back in the 70's!! No expense spared. We also did the rear bow-tie rear end and flares recreated. The exhaust exits correctly and is exact as the film and was over 8k to recreate. Photos and videos of this car have been shared around the world.The correct wheels and tires were sourced out along with the the correct transparent T tops.It has a 350 engine with a mild cam and automatic transmission with very little use as it is primarily in our show room and transported to charity events. The car has new tires, brakes, Gabriel shocks front as well as rear air shocks. It has the Mickey Thompson valve covers that are hand painted them to match the movie and correct air cleaner intake. The fog lights are impossible to find and are screen accurate as well as the rear fuel racing filler door. The Nevada plate was recreated to match it when the bad guys painted it gold. Although the film car was RHD in the movie, we opted not to do this due to risk of injury at one of our charity parades. This car is titled and registered in California and has no issues. It can be viewed at Don's Lock and Key in Riverside California. Our Batmobile is on its way and we need the room in the show room. Serious bidders only. 500 deposit due 24 hrs at end of auction. Clear title in hand. We can store the vehicle in our secure location until transport is secured. This car is one of the hottest Vettes on the West Coast!!Please no BS, the reserve is set below what it would cost to recreate this car.
