What’s special about this listing
Described by the seller as one of the earliest known production examples, this 2005 Anteros carries the significance of serial number 00002 and just 1,258 miles on the odometer. Built by California-based Anteros Coachworks, Inc.—a company founded by Roger Hector in 2005—this coachbuilt American grand touring car combines Italian-inspired styling with the proven mechanical foundation of a Chevrolet Corvette C6 platform. According to enthusiast sources, fewer than 100 examples were completed, with each car individually tailored to its original owner, making this an exceptionally rare opportunity in the collector car world.
The Anteros is distinguished by its handcrafted carbon-fiber and composite bodywork, which reportedly required roughly 800 hours of labor to complete. Finished in Jewel Red over a tan leather interior, the bespoke exterior features carbon-fiber accents on the mirror caps, fuel filler surround, taillamp panel, and engine compartment panels. Power comes from a Magnuson-supercharged 6.0L LS2 V8 producing approximately 550 horsepower, paired with a 4L65E 4-speed automatic transaxle and a Magnaflow stainless exhaust system. The seller indicates that serial number 00002 is believed to be among the earliest carbon-fiber production cars completed during the model's initial production program.
Inside, the cabin features embroidered Anteros leather seats, white-face instrumentation, burl wood trim, a wood-rim steering wheel, navigation, air conditioning, and other Corvette-derived amenities. Described as a custom vehicle, this Anteros represents a distinctive blend of exotic coachbuilt craftsmanship with American V8 performance and serviceability. In the broader Chevrolet Corvette C6 Custom market, bespoke coachbuilt examples like this occupy a unique and collectible niche, with comparable custom Corvettes transacting across a wide range of values depending on provenance, build quality, and rarity.
