NUMBERS MATCHING, RESTORED TO NCRS TOP FLIGHT LEVEL, RARE COLOR,
AWESOME EXAMPLE
Great original colors, a numbers-matching 427 cubic inch V8 with
Tri-Power, and a numbers-matching Muncie 4-speed, is there anything
else you could want in a Corvette? Oh, and it was also restored to
an insanely high, museum quality level. Chrome bumper Corvettes
simply don't get better than this.
I mentioned this was the best of the best, didn't I? Repainted back
to the rare and correct Corvette Bronze finish it was born with,
this early C3 looks fantastic today. We'll call it a 9.5, simply
because nothing in this world is perfect. This rare color
combination will never go out of style and unlike so many other
cars from the late 60s, it doesn't have a dated look. Instead, the
deep shine accentuates the all-new C3 look, which is particularly
appealing with the big block hood and top that goes down. For many,
the early chrome bumper cars are the ones to own, and the bright
stuff on this car is as close to perfectly finished as you can get,
and all of it is original to the car. The result of all that
pain-staking, open-checkbook work is a show-stopping Corvette
that's the best you'll ever see.
While the white roof is attractive, a convertible is meant to be
open to the world. And the bronze-on-dark orange combo the interior
gives this a true red-blooded American a sophisticated style. The
restoration kept an eye on making sure this had a period-correct
style. But you can also tell the investment here wanted to keep
this looking sharp with features like newer carpeting and seat
covers. This Stingray was built to be a true driver's machine.
That's why you have a clear view to the large speedo and tach, and
the full auxiliary gauge setup is directly to the side at
eye-level. And the bright stick shift is just calling out to your
right hand.
Under that iconic hood is the car's original L71 427 cubic inch V8,
and it's curious how Chevrolet offered a handful of different 427s,
including two with Tri-Power induction like this one. It's
street-friendly with great throttle response and bottomless
reserves of torque, which is why you buy a 427 in the first place.
The engine bay is nicely dressed in a correct triangular air
cleaner and chrome valve covers over a Chevy Orange engine block.
As you might expect, it runs superbly, particularly with well-tuned
carbs and a responsive distributor, and everything is stock right
down to the exhaust manifolds. The Muncie M21 4-speed manual
gearbox and rear end are also original, numbers-matching pieces,
and if you're looking around under there, please note that the
true-dual exhaust system is brand new, the power steering system
works well, and there's barely any evidence that this car has ever
been outside of a trailer. Finishing off the correct look is a set
of Rally wheels with red-line tires all around.
To further add to the lore of this car it comes with a huge binder
of receipts, and a 1968 Corvette assembly manual with build
pictures, this is a top-of-the-line big block 'Vette with so much
to offer. Call today!
