1979 Chevrolet Corvette Caballista

 
Les Durham was a famous customizer, in his company Durham Motor Coach Co in Boonton, New Jersey they built 50 Corvettes Caballista between 1979 and 1982.
The Caballista combines the sports car underpinnings of a Corvette C3 with a more luxurious and neoclassical look.
This 1979 Caballista is one of very few equipped with the powerful L82 engine and the manual gearbox. The new price back than was a staggering $ 60.000, the list price for a stock Corvette in 1979 was $ 10,220!  
With only 50 units built, this is a car that rarely comes on the market.
 
This example is finished in a 2 tone color schema of Silver metallic and Claret Red metallic which is still in excellent condition. The chrome is also in very good and original condition.
 
The interior you can clearly see the low mileage of the car. With only 11.190 miles the grey leather interior is still in excellent condition with no rips or tears. The original radio is still present and all gauges work as they should.
 
Mechanically the car is completely gone through since the previous owner had the car placed in his private museum. All fluids, filters, spark plugs and belts have been changed, so this car is ready to conquer the roads once again.
 
Overall this is an interesting opportunity for Corvette collectors to enjoy a unique example.
