Vehicle Description

NL beschrijving onderaan!

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.

Les Durham was een beroemde coachbuilder en in zijn bedrijf Durham Motor Coach Co in Boonton, New Jersey bouwden ze 50 Corvettes Caballista tussen 1979 en 1982.
De Caballista combineert de sportwagenbasis van een Corvette C3 met een luxueuzere en neoklassieke look.
Deze Caballista uit 1979 is een van de weinige die is uitgerust met de krachtige L82-motor en de handgeschakelde versnellingsbak. De nieuwprijs was toen een duizelingwekkende $ 60.000, de catalogusprijs voor een standaard Corvette in 1979 was $ 10.220!
Met slechts 50 gebouwde exemplaren is dit een auto die zelden op de markt komt.

Dit exemplaar is afgewerkt in een 2-tone kleurenschema van Silver metallic en Claret Red metallic dat nog steeds in uitstekende staat verkeert. Het chroom is ook in zeer goede en originele staat.

In het interieur zie je duidelijk de lage kilometerstand van de auto. Met slechts 11.190 mijl is het grijze lederen interieur nog steeds in uitstekende staat, zonder enige beschadiging. De originele radio is nog steeds aanwezig en alle meters werken zoals het hoort.

Mechanisch is de auto volledig nagekeken aangezien de vorige eigenaar de auto in zijn privémuseum had geplaatst. Alle vloeistoffen, filters, bougies en riemen zijn vervangen, dus deze auto is weer klaar om de wegen te veroveren.

Kortom, dit is een unieke kans voor Corvette-verzamelaars om te genieten van een uniek exemplaar.
