This is one very rare and unabused and unrestored examples of one of the best styling efforts of the decade, a genuine grand touring car in every sense of the word, this shortest lived Corvette design (1963-67) is probably the most sought after apart from the 1953-1957 models and is increasing in value and desirability each year!
This particular original California car has just come out of long time ownership and drives very well and is an all original matching #'s example with desirable factory options including power brakes, power steering, power windows and the rarely ordered Powerglide Transmission which is highly sought after by some and is sure to prove a most worthy investment or simply a great daily driver for any Corvette enthusiast or classic American car enthusiast!
