John V’s 1968

I have been a Corvette enthusiast since I was a kid. Drawing pictures and making models. When turned 19 in 1982 I bought my first Corvette a 1968 convertible 327/350hp car. Since that time I have owned and restored dozens of Corvette’s. The Corvette product has been very good to me as my last 25 years I have been selling Corvette’s of all years for a living in the Bay Area California. The pic is from 1983 with my 68. I also have had a fully documented highly optioned Ontario Orange 72 coupe. Along with my other Corvettes a 2012 Grand Sport Centennial Edition and my Wife’s C7 Stingray yes, she is a car girl too! I even have my half a Corvette the Cadillac XLR. Looking forward to getting a C8 in the future but very happy with the current fleet. Mike you always have the best cars. Wish you had another location in the Bay Area. I would be there every day. LOL.

Have your eye on a C7 Z06 Convertible but want something with extra flair? Look no further than the Callaway SC757. Enthusiasts may remember Reeves Callaway’s introduction of the RPO B2K Callaway Twin-Turbo Corvette in 1987, and the legacy of these limited-edition masterpieces continues today. Just like the previous owner of this Z06 Convertible, you can still order a Callaway Corvette through your local Chevrolet dealer.

This Z06 was originally ordered from Len Stoller Chevrolet-Cadillac in Owings Mills, MD, before being sent to Callaway’s shop in Old Lyme, CT, for its SC757 transformation. It came fully loaded from Bowling Green with features such as:

3LZ Premium Equipment Group: Memory package, Nappa leather seats, heated and ventilated seats, premium audio with surround, performance data recorder with NAV, and more.

Z07 Ultimate Performance Package: Brembo ceramic brakes, performance tires, and Z07 suspension.

Other notable features: Visible carbon fiber ground effects, Competition Sport seats, carbon fiber hood insert, 8-speed paddle-shift automatic, remote start, custom yellow brake calipers, carbon fiber interior package, and Long Beach Red Metallic Tintcoat.

The Callaway SC757 transformation added:
GenThree TVS2300 Supercharger
TripleCooled Intercooler System
High Flow Intake System
Carbon Engine Covers with SC757 emblems
Custom Callaway badging and build plaque
This 757-hp, 777 lb-ft torque monster combines head-turning style with nearly every option imaginable, delivering performance and luxury in one incredible package.

This ’56 Corvette is equipped with the rare, documented original 240hp 265 engine featuring the “Duntov” cam, believed to be one of only 111 examples built.

Recent Testimonials

Thought I would take a minute to compliment members of your staff at your  Anaheim location. I purchased a 1965 Corvette roadster from you folks a while ago. Everyone I had contact with was excellent and contributed to a hassle-free buying experience. The members of your staff, however, went far beyond what I would consider normal customer relations. Before purchasing the Corvette, Troy Worrell and I spent at least an hour systematically going over every square inch of the body and interior searching for and identifying defects. The vehicle had been restored properly by an experienced craftsman and we were only able to find five relatively minor issues. Troy assured me that they would be corrected, so I bought the car and set a pick-up date. Before picking it up, however, Troy called and informed me that the main seal was leaking more than “normal” and it would be a couple of days extra days before I could get it. This is something you folks did not have to do, but a quality organization would do. You did the right thing rather than the easy thing. This act was appreciated.

After getting the car home to San Diego, I discovered that the driver’s door would lock from the outside with the key but would not unlock with the key. I called Troy and we  set an appointment with Gary (the on-site restorer) to correct the problem. Gary fixed the lock quickly but before I left, he discovered that the wind wing pivot on the driver’s door was missing which would keep me from using the wind wing. Troy was advised of this issue and advised that Corvette Mike’s would make the repair without any charge to me. The wind wing frame is not being reproduced so it was necessary to located a used C2 part to make the repair. Within a week, Troy called and we set a repair date. Unfortunately, the used part was apparently weak and it snapped during installation. Gary got right on locating another part, and actually found a replacement part within a week (trust me, these parts don’t grow on trees). Your staff went above and beyond to make me happy, and a happy customer is a returning customer..
