If you are looking for a vintage Vette convertible that is meticulously restored, with a numbers matching 327... then check out this car. Jump in, turn the key, and drive it home. Or into the trailer. Because this one is so nice and so spotless that you may want to collect a few trophies with it before you get it dirty. I will sing the praises of the details on this car, but you know the basics already. It is arguably the most beautiful body style of Corvette ever made. Presented in paint code 974 Rally Red, it leads with a bright chrome bumper that is just below the hideaway headlights that splits above and below the knife edge body line which carries around the whole car. The point of the spear on the hood has the iconic crossed racing flag emblem front and center. A white convertible top looks great up or down, but top down motoring is what this car is all about. There are side vents at the trailing edge of the front fenders, and those highly desirable side pipes look great and sound sweet too. Corvette and Stingray badging appears on the back of the car along with the super sharp chrome of the back bumper. Brightwork bezels around the marker lights shine like new, and the car sits on steel wheels with polished trim rings and Chevy centers. The interior of this car is completely stock and shows like new. Open the door and the chrome controls for the window cranks and door handles shine bright along with the fine chrome piping that outlines the black panel sections. There is a polished trim strip that protects the door sill as you step in over those side pipes. Once you have a seat in those pleated buckets, grab hold of that deep dish three spoked wooden steering wheel and check out the view of the hooded dash pod. A 160 MPH speedo and sweep tach are in the center with fuel, oil pressure, water temp and voltage gauges on either side of them. That fully functional clock tops the center section of the dash with the ventilation controls and radio below it just in front of the shifter for the automatic trans. All the details are correct and the carpets are protected by floor mats for cruising the boulevard or driving to a show. Pop the hood and you will find that numbers matching numbers 327 cubic inch, 300 horsepower engine nestled in a neat and clean engine compartment. It is topped by a polished chrome air topper with the Turbo-Fire sticker announcing the engine details. Everything is stock and correct with the iron as well as the valve covers embossed with Chevrolet painted the right color orange. There is a new alternator, belts, and hoses, along with a new A/C compressor with all new lines. And if you really want to be impressed, check out the undercarriage of this car. Remember what we said about looking showroom new? It is. It is all fully restored with the parts like the shocks and backing plates painted the correct colors along with new bushings everywhere and it is all spotlessly clean. Showroom new and show ready. The car sits on 205/75R15 Red line tires all around mounted on those steel wheels and polished trim rings. Call or come down and ask your salesperson about the maintenance records and other documentation that comes with this car. Then if this is the vintage Vette that you have been looking for, go ahead and take it home with you.
