This has to be one of the nicest quality Corvettes we have had the pleasure of inspecting. This 427 powered example has undergone a professional body-off restoration with no aspect overlooked, and the attention to detail becomes very obvious when one begins to look closely at all the areas around and under the car. The interior is absolutely pristine, and the paint & chrome can be described in the same way. The effort did not stop there as the undercarriage received the same treatment of careful restoration with an emphasis on authenticity. This matching numbers example is powered by a 427 cubic inch big block producing 390 horsepower coupled to a close ratio 4-speed transmission. Other options include a white soft top, tinted windshield, AM/FM radio, side exhaust and posi-traction rear axle. Many new mechanical components are evident with the result being that the car is an absolute joy to drive, making one feel as though the car just came off the showroom floor. It has been beautifully refinished in Laguna Blue with Bright Blue interior . . . . exactly as it left the assembly line. World Class Corvette.
