1978 'Daytona'

 Rare 1978 Corvette 'Daytona'

This was a project that my father purchased 5 or 6 years ago.  At the time it was 90-95% complete and he never had a chance to finish it before his passing.

It is one of the most unique Corvettes that you will ever see. It's a base model 25th anniversary 1978 with a custom 'Imsa Daytona' body kit (believed to be an original Eckler's or Greenwood) designed after the Greenwood Daytona Turbo which sell for hundreds of thousands of dollars. 
The car took nearly 20 years to get to where it is now and was driven rarely during that time. It's been sitting for a year or two now, but was started this week.  it runs fine, but may need new breaks (i'd be skiddish to take it on the road at present)

If you want a fun weekend cruiser that will get as much attention as a Batmobile and are willing to put in a little sweat equity than this is the ride for you!

Sold as-is, as if sits and as pictured.  These photos (below) are the most recent, from Winter 2019 showing the exterior, interior and some recent cracking of the paint around each door handle (likely due to the heat + rain over the last few months, which has since chipped off)

dozens more photos below from the last few years
