This absolutely beautiful Corvette was originally a California black plate example with two previous owners and comes with a proven Hollywood history from the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. television series and is accompanied by certification.

It is reported that the fuel-injected Corvette was acquired and restored specifically for use in pilot for the Marvel Productions show and has now been used many times in the series with the famed name of “Lola.”

Extreme care was taken to replace only those original components that were worn or damaged beyond acceptable limits. As example, all original exterior chromed trim was disassembled and re-chromed instead of using reproduction components. Only new original stock elements were used when replacement was deemed necessary. The Corvette-logoed gas cap is noted as being one of few reproduction items utilized, only because of impending time restraints related to the show delivery schedule.

The original color of the “fuelie” was Honduras Red, but was changed to Roman Red due to the requirements of the show, Roman Red is recognized for its popularity for the 1962 model year; this example is complemented with black leather seats.

This C1 Corvette has the removable and optional hardtop which has had the Plexiglas rear and quarter side windows replaced with NOS elements and reproduction rubber weather stripping. The soft-top has had the fabric, seals, and glass replaced as well. The engine, transmission, clutch, and other mechanicals are stated to have been in proper working order, so no changes were implemented to these workings. The engine block and bay were repainted at the time. The front suspension has new kingpins, control arm, bushings, an brakes. The gas tank is also a new unit.

Overall, this desirable machine is reported as being professionally restored with NOS parts, and has been executed in a manner that allows for excellent running and driving. A six-speed manual transmission is fitted to the Corvette for driver friendliness; the original Corvette unit comes with the car. Four-wheel disc brakes have also been added, further aiding the driving experience.

Lola is a fully restored Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. collectible that has modifications based on the designs and technologies developed by Howard Stark. The current owner concludes: “Lola is flight capable (VTOL), and equipped with flamethrowers and world’s first GPS system. She clearly holds considerable sentimental value for Agent Coulson. ‘Don’t touch Lola,’ directed at primarily lower level agents, has become something of a mantra. When not in use; Lola is seen parked in the cargo bay of the flying base.”
