And that's why we're happy to see classics like this numbers-matching C3 continue to roll through our showroom. Born in 1969, ecked in stunning Fathom Green 2-stage and still churning an original 427, his first class drop-top is the kind of car that you simply buy, aintain and build equity in. So, f you're one of those cross-flag purists who likes to live the vintage car life to its fullest, his freshly restored Vette is the undiluted classic you've been dreaming of!

BODYWORK/TRIM

Of the many reasons to love the third generation of America's sports car, tyle is certainly high on the list. As one of the most aggressive designs to ever breach GM Tech Center doors, he C3 set the standard for the official Corvette shape. Take a close look at the body of this striking Stingray and you'll find aesthetics that are completely accurate to how the car left St. Louis' storied assembly lines. Thanks to a body-off restoration that wrapped in the Spring of 2015, hat clean fuselage features even gaps which suggest a sharp eye toward precision. Correct metallic paint reflects a glossy finish under subdued Saddle vinyl and an array of polished brightwork. And, hile many collectors think Rally Red is the quintessential Corvette pigment, e think you'll agree that nothing comes close to a well-done Fathom roadster!

ENGINE

Straight from the factory, his beefy big block utilized high performance internals to twist stout 10.25 to 1 compression into an even 390 horsepower! At the peak of the pavement-scorching mill, polished and decaled air cleaner swirls wind into a familiar Winters intake by way of a reliable Quadrajet carburetor. At the sides of that intake, orrect, ast iron heads hang stamped and polished valve covers over cast iron exhaust manifolds. And at the back of those heads, chrome-capped ignition system sequences spark through sleeved plug wires. When fired, he infamous 427 rumbles like an old school stoplight slayer. Its ancillary components are top notch in every way, ith GM-branded hoses, rust-free master cylinder and a correct Harrison expansion tank accompanying reproduction tower clamps, rebuilt alternator and a fresh aluminum radiator. And bright Chevy Orange engine skin is seated in a clean, atin Black frame.

DRIVETRAIN/SUSPENSION

The car's hot 427 twists torque through an original Muncie 4-speed, hich hangs a Muncie (P) M21 (B) assembled on June (H) 19th, 19) 1969 (9) build stamp between a correct 3925660 casting number and matching partial VIN. Beneath that drivetrain, fully rebuilt suspension combines optional power steering with tight turns and increased grip. At the corners of the car, -wheel power disc brakes ensure quick, rama-free stops. Aluminized down-pipes shuttle spent gases through new side pipes.

INTERIOR
