BODYWORK/TRIM

Bolted together at GM's storied St. Louis manufacturing facility, nd delivered to John Gary Woods of Buffalo, ew York, his Rally Red C2 is the kind of classic that literally defines the word "ultimate". In early 2007, he car was subjected to a 1,200-hour restoration that resulted in better-than-factory aesthetics. That body-off rebuild began with original, ever-hit fiberglass being stripped completely bare and carefully freed from 40 years of weathering and imperfections. When that glass was equal parts smooth and solid, correct coat of GM code 974 2-stage was dressed in new vinyl and decked in fresh brightwork. And roughly a year later, he car began its rightful march to Triple Crown greatness!

ENGINE

It's hard not to notice a second generation Corvette, specially in a spectacular coat of Rally Red paint. And this drop-top's original 390 horsepower, 27 cubic inch big block will ensure the car is both seen AND heard! At the top of the Chevy Orange block, familiar Holley carburetor rides between a chrome, orrectly decaled air cleaner and familiar stainless fuel line. Below that carburetor, n old school Holley intake funnels a perfect air/fuel mixture in to tough, ast iron heads that are capped by traditional steel valve covers. When the juice hits the cylinders, eliable, hrome-capped ignition sparks fresh, tainless-sleeved wires while a stock cam and rotating assembly push spent gases through restored exhaust manifolds. Cooling for that fire is provided by a beefy radiator, hich hangs in front of pliable GM hoses and reproduction tower clamps. Aesthetically, his Chevy's tidy engine compartment is exceptionally well done, raming a correct alternator, resh brake booster and lively Delco-topped battery in clean, atin Black fenders. And naturally, he exclusive mill fronts a correct 3869942 casting number and May (E) 19th (19), 966 (6) casting date with a correct 427/4-speed (IL) suffix stamp and a matching partial VIN.

DRIVETRAIN/SUSPENSION

Not surprisingly, he bottom of this pavement-pounding Vette is solid, lean and ready to roll. Behind the awesome big block, familiar Muncie 4-speed sports a correct 3885010 casting number, Muncie (P) assembled on June (06) 1st (01), 966 build stamp and a matching partial VIN. That tough transmission twists a stout rear end that's fitted with high performance gears. Turns come courtesy of an old school manual steering rack. Power 4-wheel disc brakes provide solid, onfident stops. The big engine funnels spent gases through rowdy, ome parts-original side pipes. Solid, nvarnished floors perfectly complement a straight, atin Black chassis. And all that reliable hardware rolls on authentic knock-off wheels, hich twist correct 7.75-15 Goodyear Power Cushion goldlines.

INTERIOR

Open this C2's tossable doors and you'll find a correct Black interior that appears to have been completely replaced during the car's body-off rebirth. Seating comes courtesy of firm vinyl thrones, hich are anchored between fresh belts, orrect optional headrests and a small console that's centered on a fully functional shifter. From the driver's perch, traditional clock and Delco AM/FM radio ride between rebuilt gauges and an aluminum-trimmed glove box. Below that dash, ike-new carpet balances color-keyed floor mats amid fresh stainless sills. Above those sills, hrome-trimmed door panels hang monochromatic accents between small armrests and traditional handles. In front of the driver, classy Teak steering wheel laps a brilliant cross-flag emblem. And behind the passengers, fully carpeted storage compartment boasts enough room for a picnic basket and some detailing supplies.
