NBS Auto Showroom in Milpitas, California, has dropped its price on a 1980 four-door Corvette America, one of six built (including prototype) with just two believed to be remaining in existence today. The red-on-red ‘sports sedan’ is supposed to be matching numbers and has just 21,000 miles on its 350-cubic-inch V8.
Chevrolet had commissioned a C3 four-doorCorvette to be built by California Coach Motors, which stretched the frames of a regular Corvette coupe by 30 inches to accommodate another row of seats. The plan was to sell these alongside the coupes and convertibles, but with a sticker price of $35,000, more than twice the regular cost of a Corvette at the time. Just five left the lot before someone atChevrolet realized what a terrible idea it was.
NBS has had the car for a few years and is now asking for ‘just’ $102,562, down from a reported $214,884 in 2018, which makes you wonder not only where they get such random numbers, but who would pay for such a monstrosity in the first place.
