The Ultimate Car Enthusiast trinket for Corvette aficianados

Corvette castle for sale: Could it be the ultimate Vette fan trinket?

Zora Arkus-Duntov's house in suburban Detroit in up for sale.

For devotees of the Chevrolet Corvette, what price can you put on a unique piece of history? When we say unique, we mean it.

There is only one house in which the undisputed godfather of the Corvette, Zora Arkus-Duntov, and his model-beautiful wife, Elfie, lived in the Detroit area. It's up for sale in Grosse Pointe Woods, three blocks from Lake St. Clair.

Since Duntov's passing in 1996 at age 86, Elfie lived in the house on the corner whose road sign "Duntov Way" told Corvette cognoscenti that this was Mecca. The 2,600-square-foot, three-bedroom/1.5-bath home has, like the owner himself, a unique style. Who knows what kind of goodies could be squirreled away in this Corvette castle? Asking price: $325,000.
