EXTERIOR
Very nice well preserved survivor car that a has been restored as needed. According to the three previous owners this car has only 78890 actual miles on the body of the car. Based on the body condition, frame and panel fit, believe this to be true. The headlights have great lines and a heavy weight big Block stinger hood fits as it should. Correct rally red paint over a gorgeous stingray C2 body. Mostly original chrome is above average condition. Original windshield and side glass are a testimony to the preservation of the car. The side exhaust is in amazing condition and has only minimal road wear.
INTERIOR
The leather interior is in amazing like new condition with very little wear. We were told that it is all original, but we believe that the interior to good for that to be true. It appears to be newer replacement interior or it is the best original interior we have ever seen. The seats are almost like new as are the door panels. The dash is clear and crisp with great instrumentation. Correct 65000 redline and 80psi oil pressure gauge the clock is still ticking. The center console is also very nice. The car comes with both black top,an unrestored hard top that could use a little fleshing up and a soft top that was replaced when the car was painted and is a little discolored, but still looks good. Sony Stereo nicely concealed in the glove box.
MECHANICS
Under the hood is is a performance built big block built to replicate the look of a 427/435 engine. Based on the the previous owners history and what we have been able to authenticate, this car was re-stamped on the pad to look correct, but from what we can tell it not an original 427/435hp block and is more than likely a 454 block with a lot of expensive tri-power parts on top of the block. Without the original build sheet we can not be sure of the original engine configuration. It's a 4-bolt main, fire breathing big block now. The car has a correct three two barrel carburetor set up and correct Winters Snowflake intake. This red roadster is launched by a correct Muncie M21 4-speed transmission and backed by the heavy duty 9 leaf rear end with the correct big block end caps on the drive shaft. Nicely optioned with Power Disc Brakes on all four corners and an aluminum radiator for those hot days and parades. Although not an original 435 car, it is an incredible tri-power roadster at a small block price.
UNDERCARRIAGE
The undercarriage is what you would expect from a low mileage well preserved car. Very nice clean frame with great kick ups and and crack free floors that have held up well. The side exhaust is in very good condition with only slight road wear from the front tires. Looks great, but sounds even better. The car is rolling on a great set of Bolt on turbine wheels that are the signature wheel for one year only 1967 Corvettes.
