SUMMARY

A genuine matching numbers Big-Block manual gearbox C3 Corvette, the subject of a sympathetic restoration in the US.

DESCRIPTION

  • Finished in Mille Miglia Red with a black vinyl interior and optioned from new with Hooker side-pipes, tilt/telescopic steering column, power windows, power steering and air-conditioning
  • Originally supplied to its first custodian in 1973 through Chevrolet Concessionaires in St Louis, Missouri
  • Presented in good order having being the subject of an older sympathetic restoration carried out in the US which clearly focussed on retaining originality
  • Imported to the UK in late 2014 with just two previous recorded keepers since
  • It should be noted that the air-conditioning belt is not currently fitted and the speedometer has recently failed which we are told requires a replacement cable
  • Running and driving well with invoices on file for a recent carburettor overhaul and rebuild
  • For devotees of the Chevrolet brand this is a rare and interesting find and with that in mind, we welcome and encourage your early inspection
