This lot will be auctioned via Classic Car Auctions, The Christmas Sale 2023 on Saturday the 9th of December, Warwickshire Event Centre, CV31 1XN. In recent years this car has formed part of an extensive collection of motor vehicles. As such it has received little or no attention and is in a condition that could fairly be described as 'barn find.' It will undoubtedly require an element of recommissioning before it could be expected to return to the road. Inspection of the vehicle and its history file are therefore highly recommended prior to the sale to establish what is or may be required and to inspect any relevant paperwork or history file.
This wonderful Corvette Stingray C2 Convertible is finished in Stealth Black with a black leather interior and is fitted with a 427ci, L36, 'Big-Block' V8 offering 425bhp fed through a 4-speed manual gearbox
Stored for a number of years, it has been on a trickle charger for much of that period and turned over but did not start during our photography session
Definitely a 'barn find', as evidenced by its association with poultry in recent times, but still presents a tremendous opportunity
Imported around 25 years ago, there is no history file as such, but the V5C is present and the VIN confirms the car as a 1966 Convertible built in St Louis
1966 was the first year of the 427 Big Block cars and very few were fitted with the manual gearbox. This is a car upon which much attention deserves to be lavished, and once fully prepared, it should reward such effort with an excellent outcome
