There are a lot of custom Corvettes out there. When it comes to these cars, we owners love to personalize them in infinite ways. Some of these modifications turn out really well and others don’t quite have the same appeal. This 1988 coupe currently for sale Ohio fits into the latter category.
You already know the premise behind SPEED’s Car Warriors: Give two teams identical cars and 48 hours to make it their own.
