powered by a ground pounding 427 c.i. engine with 450 horsepower
and a Muncie 4 speed transmission. This roadster recieved a very
comprehensive, no expense spared, frame off restoration 7 years ago
and the slick paint and beautiful chrome still looks like new

driven very sparingly. All the correct big block components are
present on this rare roadster.
Excellent fit and finish with great gaps and
super straight
lines on a original body with all bonding strips intact. The
undercarriage of this Corvette is amazing with virgin floors and
great attention to detail. New Al Knoch saddle interior and top
along with rare telescopic steering with teak wood wheel. All

block has a commanding rumble through the correct side exhaust.

gold line tires for the perfect look.

Absolutely clear and transferrable title.Wikipedia Information"The
Chevrolet Corvette, known colloquially as a Vette or Chevy
Corvette, is a sports car manufactured by Chevrolet. The car has
been produced through seven generations. The first model, a
convertible, was introduced at the GM Motorama in 1953 as a concept
show car. Myron Scott is credited for naming the car after the type
of small, maneuverable warship called a corvette. Originally built
in Flint, Michigan and St. Louis, Missouri since 1981, the Corvette
has been manufactured in Bowling Green, Kentucky and is the
official sports car of the Commonwealth of Kentucky. While always
being an automobile known for speed and performance throughout its
history, the Corvette has evolved throughout the generations into
becoming the widely regardedalthough never officially
declaredflagship model of the Chevrolet car brand.""The second
generation (C2) Corvette, which introduced Sting Ray to the model,
continued with fiberglass body panels, and overall, was smaller
than the first generation. The C2 was later referred to as
mid-years. The car was designed by Larry Shinoda with major
inspiration from a previous concept design called the "Q Corvette,"
which was created by Peter Brock and Chuck Pohlmann under the
styling direction of Bill Mitchell. Earlier, Mitchell had sponsored
a car known as the "Mitchell Sting Ray" in 1959 because Chevrolet
no longer participated in factory racing. This vehicle had the
largest impact on the styling of this generation, although it had
no top and did not give away what the final version of the C2 would
look like. The third inspiration was a Mako Shark Mitchell had
caught while deep-sea fishing.""With only 771 fuel-injected cars
built in 1965, Chevrolet discontinued the option at the end of the
'65 production, having introduced a less-expensive big block 396
engine rated at 425
hp in the middle of the production year and selling over 2,000 in
just a few months. For 1966, Chevrolet introduced an even larger
427
cu
in (7.00
L) Big Block version. Other options available on the C2 included
the Wonderbar auto-tuning AM radio, AM-FM radio (mid-1963), air
conditioning (late-1963), a telescopic steering wheel (1965), and
headrests (1966). The Sting Ray's independent rear suspension was
successfully adapted for the new-for-1965 Chevrolet Corvair, which
solved the quirky handling problems of that unique rear-engine
compact."American Dream Machines
