The car car is exceptionally well preserved, as would be expected for a car out of such a prominent collection. It has no signs of any accidents and with bonding strips intact and which is the beneficiary of an obviously recent beautiful repaint in it's original 'Mosport Green' factory color and looks extremely striking with it's matching 'Dark Green' interior and new 'Black' soft top. The car has new weather stripping and re-chromed bumpers.
The car must be driven and seen to be truly appreciated - drives straight as an arrow with no strange road wobbles, shakes or rattles - a truly remarkable daily driver that tracks like glue on corners and will give any modern day sports car a run for it's money! The 4 speed manual transmission shifts smoothly through all the gears and the temperature always remains cool!

This is one highly desirable and collectible unabused example 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 1953-1958 models and they are seemingly increasing in value and desirability each year!
