Nearly every Corvette ever created has been a highly unique offering that pushed the limits of style and performance. Think about it; this is a marque that followed lightweight fiberglass roadsters with standard V8 power and potent big block street slayers... It followed Lotus-tuned ZR-1s with an exclusive modern Grand Sport and proper revival of the track-focused Z06... Then it followed supercharged blue devils with a brutal 427 Convertible:http://www.rkmotors.com/sales/inventory/active#!/2013-Chevrolet-Corvette-427/135365 a third world-beating Stingray and the insane Z06/Z07! I mean where else can you find world-class American performance thats loud proud and ready to lay waste to pretty much any Old World exotic? That purity is exactly why classics like this fully documented Triple Crown-winning Sting Ray are so collectible. Pairing a professional restoration and numbers-matching big block drivetrain with top honors from Bloomington NCRS and Chevy/Vettefest this coupe is a correct blue chip showstopper thatll hold its own next to the finest metal on the planet! BODYWORK/TRIM Unlike other sports cars which shall remain nameless all Corvettes are NOT red. And thats a very good thing because if they were wed be missing out on sublime colors like this slick Sting Rays correct Lynndale Blue 2-stage. That glossy hue is especially smooth thanks to a first-rate restoration which teased the cars appearance to something very close to what it originally presented at Syracuse New Yorks Salina Motors. Naturally theres a full round of factory bolt-ons like Soft Ray glass and a requisite Stinger Hood which have been either fully restored or accurately reproduced. And today this coupe rolls as one top-notch C2 thats perfectly worthy of exceptional design world beating performance and a distinguished spot in the coveted Triple Crown Registry. ENGINE Whats better than a correctly restored Corvette thats won multiple national awards? A correctly restored numbers-matching Corvette thats won multiple national awards! Tilt the cars hood and youll find an original L36 big block that frames a correct IL suffix stamp and matching partial VIN in a 67-exclusive 3904351 casting number and January (A) 23rd (23) 1967 (7) casting date. At the top of the Chevy Orange 427 a familiar Holley carburetor rides between a chrome correctly decaled air cleaner and bright stainless fluid lines. Below that carburetor a stock Chevrolet intake funnels a perfect air/fuel mixture in to tough cast iron heads which wear traditional steel valve covers. When the juice hits the cylinders reliable chrome-capped ignition sparks fresh stainless-sleeved wires while a stock cam and rotating assembly push spent gases through factory exhaust manifolds. Cooling for that fire is provided by a beefy radiator which hangs in front of pliable GM hoses and reproduction tower clamps. And aesthetically this Chevys tidy engine compartment is exceptionally well done framing a correct alternator rebuilt master cylinder and reproduction Delco battery in bright decals bright inspection marks and clean Satin Black fenders. DRIVETRAIN/SUSPENSION Not surprisingly someone spent a lot of time carefully restoring the bottom of this exclusive Vette. Behind the awesome big block a familiar Muncie 4-speed sports a correct 3885010 casting number a Muncie (P) assembled on February (B) 28th |
