Douglas Boles said. \u201cThe hardtop convertible on the 2023 Corvette Z06 is just another example of the Chevrolet innovation that translates from track to street.\u201d<\/p>\n The Pace Car is finished in Red Mist Metallic with two-tone Jet Black and Sky Cool Gray interior with Red seat belts. The Pace Car features a unique graphics package, Tech Bronze forged aluminum wheels, and the car has Carbon Flash Black Nacelles and roof.

He was particularly fond of Corvettes, and his collection included some of the rarest and most sought-after models ever produced.<\/p>\n Mark\u2019s relationship with Corvette Mike was one of mutual respect and admiration and his visits to the showroom and workshop were always enjoyed by the staff.<\/p>\n Although he is no longer with us, Mark\u2019s legacy will live on through his family, friends, and all those who knew and loved him. Rest in peace, dear Mark. You will be deeply missed.<\/p>\n 1970 454\/390hp Convertible<\/strong> This Monza Red Convertible is a truly special car. Somehow, it managed to survive 53 years in pristine, original condition, having only been driven 19k miles since it rolled out of St. Louis! One of the previous owners is a very good client of ours and a renown collector. He was the car\u2019s caretaker for 40 years and Corvette Mike maintained it for him! The paint is very shiny, the interior shows little wear, the soft top still looks great, and it runs just like a 19k Corvette should . . . Excellent! Options include the #\u2019s matching LS5 engine, mated to an M21 close ratio 4-spd. manual transmission, am\/fm radio, power brakes, power steering, power windows and luggage rack.<\/p>\n She\u2019s just waiting for the next caretaker to drive her home!<\/p>\n Coming Soon<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n 1993 ROLLS ROYCE CORNICHE IV The magnificent 1993 Rolls-Royce Corniche IV Anniversary Convertible featured here is finished in Special Anniversary Ming Blue over Magnolia leather interior with matching convertible top. As an anniversary edition, this motorcar is equipped with many special features, such as rear burl walnut picnic trays, a special cocktail bar in the door, anniversary wheel covers, special leather seat design, additional special walnut wood trim on the doors, and a sterling silver anniversary plaque in the glovebox.<\/p>\n This incredible motorcar has been maintained by a Marque specialist and has been driven just 4,600 miles. This highly desirable limited-edition 1993 Rolls-Royce Corniche IV Anniversary Convertible is one of the most collectible of all modern-day Rolls-Royces, and seldom do they come to market with the extremely low mileage and incredible condition of this one. We personally believe the investment potential of this limited-edition Rolls-Royce will grow beyond your imagination.<\/p>\n Priced at: $225,000!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n 2018 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER Santorini Black Metallic with Black & Red Autobiography Interior Wheels: 22\u2033 9 Split Spoke Gloss Climate Comfort Pack . . . and more!<\/p>\n Special priced at: $59,900<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n CF1 Roadster<\/strong><\/a> Kindigit Designs of Bitchin Rides and Corvette Mike have collaborated to bring you the Koolest of Bitchin Rides \u2014 a series dedicated to the ultimate resto-mods.
