Logging very few miles since a complete, round-up reboot, his striking coupe is a decidedly clean cruiser. During its in-depth restoration, he car's solid, iberglass body was thoroughly massaged to correct most of the typical waves and ripples that came standard from GM's St. Louis manufacturing facility. With those cosmetic semantics complete, finishing phase took the form of aggressive block sanding. And finally, verything was layered in correct Goodwood Green base, ealed in glossy clear and buffed to a fantastic, et-look shine.

With this Sting Ray, he idea was to create a super nice classic that can be driven without worry. Whether that means an excellent original piece was refinished to like-new condition, r fresh reproduction items were installed, he car's caretakers certainly ensured its appearance is both accurate and impressive. At the front of this old school street queen, ullet-style marker lights, how worthy bumpers and a red, hite and black cross-flag emblem cage a stainless egg crate grille. Behind that grille, razen "427" emblems adorn a striped, 67-exclusive stinger hood. At the sides of that hood, imple heat extractors ride between traditional door handles, classy bowtie mirror, nd chambered and shielded side pipes. Opposite those pipes, traight stainless trim complements a clean combination of clear and tinted glass. And behind that glass, amiliar Corvette tail lamps illuminate a chrome-trimmed fuel filler and correct "Corvette STING RAY" emblem above a chrome-trimmed tag bracket and two more show worthy bumpers.

It's hard not to notice a second generation Corvette, specially in a spectacular coat of Goodwood Green. And this coupe's original VIN stamped 427 cubic inch Chevrolet V8 will ensure the car is both seen AND heard! At the top of the Chevy Orange mill, trio of Holley carburetors rides between a chrome, orrectly-decaled air cleaner and bright, tainless fluid lines. Below those carburetors, familiar Winters intake funnels a perfect air/fuel mixture into tough, ast iron heads, hich wear traditional steel valve covers. When the juice hits the cylinders, eliable, hrome-capped ignition sparks fresh, tainless-sleeved wires while a stock cam and rotating assembly push spent gases through restored exhaust manifolds. Cooling for that fire is provided by a beefy radiator, hich hangs in front of a big, elt-driven fan. And overall, his Chevy's tidy engine compartment is exceptionally well-done; framing a modern alternator, resh brake booster and correct GM hoses in bright decals and clean, atin Black fenders.

Not surprisingly, he bottom of this pavement-pounding Vette is solid, lean and ready to roll. Behind the awesome big block, tough Muncie 4-speed spins a stout posi-traction differential around beefy 3.70 gears. Turns come courtesy of modern power steering. A full assortment of disc brakes provides solid, onfident stops. Impressive, rue-dual exhaust funnels spent gases through correctly chambered side pipes. The car's solid, atin Black floors perfectly complement a straight, atin Black chassis. All that reliable hardware rolls on correct bolt-ons, hich spin 7.75-15 BF Goodrich Silvertown redlines around 'black bowtie' center caps. And details like stainless fluid lines, resh shocks and a familiar stainless fuel tank ensure years of carefree cruising.

Seating comes courtesy of firm leather thrones, hich are anchored between fresh seatbelts, right stainless trim and a small console that's centered on a fully functional shifter. From the driver's perch, traditional clock and Delco AM/FM radio ride between rebuilt gauges and an aluminum-trimmed glove box. Below that dash, ike-new carpet balances color-keyed floor mats between fresh stainless sills. Above those sills, hrome-trimmed door panels hang monochromatic accents between small armrests, raditional handles and correct power windows. In front of the driver, satin-spoked steering wheel spins around a brilliant cross-flag emblem.
