Here is a rare opportunity to own a true piece of Hot Rod history as one of the first Pro Street builds to set the trend starting in the 1980’s. This 1989 Chevrolet Beretta was built by Rich and Jacklyn Gebhardt in 1988. The car was originally built to be a Reher – Morrison Pro Stock race car, but due to a wheelbase measurement being too long, NHRA would not allow the car to run. That’s when the Gebhardt’s purchased the Beretta. Rich originally had it powered by a V6 with a 4-speed Lenco transmission. It now boasts a 572 cu. in. all aluminum supercharged big block Chevy putting out about 1010 rwhp!! The owner history is believed to be 7 and it ranged from being a Pro Street to a bracket racer and then finally back on the street.
This car is street legal with a clean title and VIN#: SOS 300 340 ILL

This Beretta is fully street legal with a clear title and VIN number. The current build has less than 50 miles on it.
The bodywork and candy tangerine urethane paint are 30+ years old. It does show some age, but for show purposes it looks fantastic. The roof and rear quarter panel sections are steel. Everything else is fiberglass. All the windows are glass and in excellent condition. The passenger and driver’s windows are power operated. Since it is street legal all lights, turn signals, and brake lights function. The fiberglass front-end, hood, and trunk lid are held on with ‘Zeus’ fasteners. The doors can easily be removed from their hinges.

I am listing this vehicle as a representative (consultant) for the owner, not a broker. All photographs and videos were taken by me. All the information presented was given to me by the owner. All questions will be directed to J.D. and answered in a timely manner.

PLEASE BUY WITH CONFIDENCE
While we do our best to provide quality cars with an honest and reliable description and realize the importance of transparency when selling vehicles. We have not built, modified, changed, or personally owned this vehicle. Even though this vehicle is being sold by Kurzmann’s Auto Brokerage we do not know the vehicles complete history since new. We want to be clear and try to answer any questions our customers might have prior to purchasing. Additionally, we do welcome 3rd party independent inspections. Please inquire prior to purchase to make sure the advertised vehicle has not already been sold. If a customer chooses to purchase sight unseen (many of our customers choose this option) the customer accepts the vehicle AS IS and WHERE IS and understands we cannot address concerns after purchase. For this reason, it’s important all concerns are addressed prior to purchase. We make every effort to present accurate and reliable information, but use of this information is voluntary, and should only be deemed reliable after an independent review of its accuracy, completeness, and timeliness. It is the sole responsibility of the customer to verify the existence of options, accessories, and the vehicle condition before time of sale.
I have been an active internet seller of vehicles on eBay and other Motor Vehicle websites for more than 20 years and maintained a 100% rating during most of that period. Approximately 15 years ago I started an online service assisting owners of Classic, Vintage, and Muscle cars to sell their vehicles on the internet without them leaving the garage. These are private individual owners who do not want to deal with the public and all the endless phone calls, “Tire kickers”, and other nonsense that goes on when trying to sell a car. They just want someone to sell it!!
