At the risk of a large post ... here is a more detailed summary of the build details. The total time invested in this build was approx 1000 hours. - complete "nut-and-bolt" frame off restoration of the vehicle. The car was dismantled down to a bare body and frame and everything on the vehicle was dismantled and refurbished or replaced. Car has just 1000 miles (approx.) on it since rebuild.

Other body panels are original and have been refurbished & body-worked, including trunk and hood undersides and underbody. - Finished in 2019 Corvette Elkhart Lake Blue Metallic (GM paint code 625D).

• ** There is a lot of clear material on the car to work with in future polishing endeavors. - bumpers were re-chromed at GG’s Plating in Montreal.

- clear/clean title in my name. VIN and trim tags correct and in place. The car is currently registered in the Corvette Registry. - no tariffs or duties upon shipping into the US since the car was US-manufactured and also previously US-titled. Car is > 25 years old and therefore is exempt from US EPA requirements.

For US bidders: the car will cross the US-Canada border duty and tariff free (i.e. there are not applicable duties or tariffs). I have uploaded emails from several professional cross-border brokers to support this.

The LS7 is a 2009. It is stock, unaltered 505HP/470lb-ft with 7000 rpm redline. I have added the compression test results in the photos for the engine, taken earlier this week.
