First registered in June 1965, this Corvette Stingray arrived in Switzerland circa 2000 when it was offered for sale by the well known American-car dealer, Neufeld's Special Cars in Zurich. A Mr De Siebenthal, well known restorer in Switzerland, purchased the car from them in 2008. Although it was in good condition, Mr de Siebenthal embarked on a project to make the car absolutely concours and period correct. The car was completely dismantled, the chassis stripped and the every last little detail taken care of. The restoration took many years to complete. Knowing Mr de Siebenthal very well, our vendor had often seen the car and always tried to buy it from him. Mr de Siebenthal finally agreed to sell the Stingray to our vendor in 2015. Since then the car has been routinely serviced and driven sparingly. Mr de Siebenthal was tasked to continue maintaining the Stingray and it is ready for the next owner to enjoy. Accompanying documentation consists of an old Swiss Carte Grise and a history file containing Neufeld's Special Cars' original invoice from 2008.
