Remember that custom 1968 Corvette we featured on our Barrett-Jackson Las Vegas Results post? Turns out the telephone bidder who paid $198,000 for the 510/660 hp roadster was none other than Sylvester Stallone. He apparently has already taken possession of the vette and was seen cruising Santa Monica in Beverly Hills.

Yo, Adrian!
I was there when Sly bought the vette.Got to see it up close, very nice ride
The 68 Roadster was built in our shop @ Petris Enterprises Inc. formerly Corvette Clinic Inc. of Central Florida. There are numerous stories written about segments of the build in a couple of Corvette mags. The 68 is a one off build with super car power.
Chris:
It was an awesome Corvette. I remember watching it sell at Barrett Jackson and then to find out a couple days later that stallone bought it was pretty cool. Keep up the good work!
