BODYWORK/TRIM

Logging only 160 miles since it rolled out of a ground-up no-expense-spared restoration this impressive coupe is a lust worthy rendition of timeless American muscle. The cars glossy PPG 2-stage which reflects brilliant Rally Red pigment has been carefully detailed with a Graphite Stinger Stripe. Under that pigment slick fit and finish is aligned to better-than-factory standards. And the result is a modern yet familiar profile that creates a lasting impression!

With such a sculpted body ornamentation could have easily ruined the C2s presence. Thankfully Chevrolet did a great job of placing form over function and keeping brightwork to a minimum. At the front of the car quality WiperWorks headlights shade polished bumpers which cage a stainless-trimmed grille between small parking lamps. Behind those lights a requisite cross-flag emblem draws the eye to a stylish Stinger Hood quality WiperWorks wipers and clean stainless-trimmed glass. At the sides of that hood a louvered profile centers polished handles and a familiar bowtie mirror above black rocker guards and rowdy side-pipes. And that mirror reflects two more polished bumpers which frame factory taillights polished tag trim a flowing Sting Ray emblem and a color-keyed fuel filler.
