This is a Paragon Corvette restoration from around 2010 and then a full engine out replacement long block that was performance built by S and J Engines out of Spokane,WA in 2013. The mileage of 18,000 on the car indicates at time of restoration. 1972 would be the final year of the chrome front and rear bumpers on the Corvette before they would introduce the rubber bumper cars. The car has also been upgraded with a newer ""vintage"" looking radio, has a tilt column and the ever so sought after 4-speed manual transmission. Everything on this car works and works well, there are no funny noises or smells, rattles or shakes with good brakes and tires. This Vette garners attention at every turn. Built from 1968 through 1982, the C3 was patterned after the Mako Shark by designer Larry Shinoda under Bill Mitchells direction and would be way ahead of its time. These cars are continuing to climb in value, especially the really good ones. We welcome any inquiries or inspections. We have some build information on the car but not a ton.
