French historic registration title An absolutely rare Corvette C1 «Phase 2» on the market, a must for any collector of 1950s cars and for any enthusiast looking for an elegant roadster to cruise in this summer!

This car was bought in 1972 by a certain Rex A. Stacy, a teacher from Nebraska, who kept it until his death in 1999| he spent the 27 years of ownership investigating the car’s past in order to give it the perfect restoration (extensive file of exchanges)

An absolutely fascinating historical file summarising the history of our car up to 1962 in California: a request had been sent by Rex A. Stacy to model historian Michael Hunt to trace the car’s history

According to the file, the car was red with beige sides in the early 1960s before being repainted in its current colour, Aztec Cooper Metallic| the upholstery has a very nice patina, and the extremely rare hard-top will be repainted for the sale and is said to have been added in 1962 following an incredible adventure recounted in the file...

Satisfactory running order, a very pleasant car to drive with its automatic gearbox, maintained since 2018 by its current owner, a keen collector
