In a world of perfect Corvettes we have a perfectly imperfect example for your consideration. Although it is not NCRS Top-Flight or Duntov worthy, it is a ton of fun! It turns heads, sounds great, and can be left unguarded when you and your passenger stop for dinner. This Vette hasnandrsquo;t forgotten what the road is or how to take corners. The matching 390HP 427 engine is balanced and the clutch feels perfect as it smoothly engages the 4-speed M-21 manual transmission. Positraction helps keep the radial tires on the pavement but they can be broken free andndash; if you want to. Power steering and four-wheel disc brakes help you take command. The underside is solid but ugly, not meant to be shown off but needs no apologies either. No, everything is not fresh but nothing needs to be attended to for miles and miles, perhaps years and years. The black interior is all Corvette, simple and complete. It is not perfect but nothing is crying out to be replaced either. It, like the rest of the car, is driver-quality. You can climb inside, turn the key and enjoy! The exterior is nice, but not perfect. The chrome is outstanding with nearly every piece being show quality. The stainless could be polished but doesnandrsquo;t stand out as needing it. The red paint on the other hand is an older repaint from Nassau Blue with multiple flaws. Ten feet away, most people will not see the imperfections but the closer you get the easier they are to spot. Of all the C2 Corvettes we have driven, most concour-quality, something about this car stands out. She is uncharacteristically fun and easy to drive. We feel like we could take her out on a cross country trip and not be road-tired half way through each day. Instead, we would be driving into the night and up early to go again with a smile on our face the entire time. So, what we have here is a solid fun big block Vette that has all the right stuff. You can take her as she is and have a blast. You can restore her a piece at a time as your budget allows and end up with an amazing trophy over time or you can do that now. The choice is truly yours.
