Description
The Corvette C2 is gaining popularity with great strides. And rightly so, the grandfather of the Muscle Cars has everything a classic car should have: a beautiful line, powerful engine, enormous fame and similarly named predecessors and successors. So it’s no wonder that the C2 is getting more and more appreciation.
This silver-grey Convertible is no exception, with the stylish color in combination with the chrome present for an extremely chic look. During the very long ownership of the last owner, the open two-seater was provided with a new layer of paint that was very beautifully applied. The body is in a beautiful condition with very tight sheet metal and correct panel fittings. The beautiful sharp creases in the body indicate skilled restoration work and beautiful, thin paint.
The interior also looks very nice and original. The upholstery can only be the original with a beautiful patina. The seats are in good condition and have no damage. The dashboard also looks completely unrestored, with beautiful instruments and a wooden steering wheel that is original. It is very pleasant to hold and has nice ‘signs of age’. The carpet, door panels and buttons on the center console and all related items are also in very nice condition. Finally, in terms of interior, the shiny eye-catcher of the car: the chrome-plated gear knob that operates the manual gearbox. Manual Corvettes are extra popular and this Convertible has everything in that respect because the folding roof, which is in very good condition, is also a nice extra.
The technology of this C2 can be called carefree. The 327 cubic inch V8 with 300 hp gurgles nicely. With that power and sound, the Corvette C2 Sting Ray can still be labeled as a true sports car today. The gearbox shifts tight, the clutch can be operated firmly, muscles are required to drive this muscle car as it would like to be ridden. The technique is all good, the car has been driven until recently, so no overdue matters due to standing still for a long time.
This Corvette combines the pleasure of open driving, the sound of an American sports car, the associated performance and manual gearbox with a very stylish appearance and very authentic and beautiful condition. A Corvette that provides all boxes of the wish list with a green check mark.
