block and a bad attitude. Check out the amazing curves on this
radical Corvette roadster.

black mirror finish. The drop dead gorgeous body lines on this two
top roadster are exquisite and complement 427 bulge hood and the
freshly painted hard top like it came from the factory this way.
The custom fabricated wide body allows for aggressive
17 inch Halibrand polished aluminum wheels with super wide 10 inch
Michelin performance tires
to fit under the fenders perfectly
for drop dead good looks
and putting the rubber to the road.
Under the hood is show quality engine compartment that houses a
performance built 1967 date code 427 cubic inch engine with correct
Winters intake.The block is rated at 390, but seems a lot stronger.
This amazing car is launched by a Muncie 4 speed transmission and
backed by a correct heavy duty big block rear end with correct half
shafts and big block sway bar. The brand new factory side exhaust
shines brilliantly with no rock chips and sounds awesome with that
throaty block sound.

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
