What you are seeing is real, and depending on how you feel about custom creations such as this, that could be a good thing or the stuff of nightmares. In either case, NBS Auto Showroom in Milpitas, California can set you up with all the details on this 1980 Chevrolet Corvette four-door and how to buy it, if you\u2019re so inclined. Presumably, the sales team will also have some logic behind its asking price of\u2014wait for it\u2014$217,203. Mind you, that\u2019s not an even $217,200, but $217,200 and three extra dollars. Or to put it another way, it&#8217;s nearly double the cost of a new Corvette ZR1. Then again, you can\u2019t take three friends for a ride in a ZR1.<\/p>\n<p>We do know some stuff about this very curious Corvette. The ad says it\u2019s factory original, but some Google research tells us it was built back in the late 1970s by a Pasadena-based company called California Custom Coach.\u00a0Super Chevy actually has a good article that covers this crazy four-door Corvette plan, but for our purposes, know that only six were built and this red example could be one of only two left.<\/p>\n<p>Each car was made by basically fusing two Corvettes together\u2014T-tops and all\u2014with the rear glass opening to make this a five-door hatchback sports car 30 years before the Porsche Panamera was born. This particular car is reported as having just 20,000 miles, though a photo of the odometer actually shows 21,006 miles. It\u2019s very red inside and out, and actually, the rear bucket seats don\u2019t look that uncomfortable. The sales description doesn&#8217;t offer much else in the way of details, save for the standard-issue, used-car terms like\u00a0excellent condition, fully loaded, and so forth. It\u2019s listed as having paperwork available, and that it\u2019s completely original. In this case, that would mean a 5.7-liter V8 connected to a four-speed automatic, making roughly 200 horsepower.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Read it here: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.msn.com\/en-us\/autos\/enthusiasts\/1980-chevy-corvette-four-door-can%e2%80%99t-be-unseen-seeks-dollar217k\/ar-BBPnqlk?ocid=ientp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">1980 Chevy Corvette Four Door Can\u2019t Be Unseen, Seeks $217k<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Buy it here: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbsautoshowroom.com\/inventory\/details\/48097569\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NBS Auto Showroom <\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1980 Chevrolet Corvette Four Door A California shop apparently built six all total, and this is &hellip; <a title=\"Random Open Thread\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=82697\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Random Open Thread<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":659,"featured_media":82704,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[220],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-82697","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-floggings-will-continue-until-morale-improves"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/82697","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/659"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=82697"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/82697\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/82704"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=82697"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=82697"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=82697"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
