This C2-generation Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray Coupe Split Window is a highly sought-after and iconic classic American sports car, which benefits from an extensive restoration. Under the bonnet sits a fully rebuilt matching-numbers naturally aspirated 327-cubic inch (5.4-litre) V8, delivering around 224kW to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission. This example was manufactured in St. Louis, Missouri, and was found as a ‘barn find’ in the US after spending around 30 years in storage. It was then imported to Australia in late-2018, where it underwent an extensive restoration over the course of two years. Following the completion of the restoration it made its debut at the Downunder Corvette Club’s annual Concourse in South East Queensland, and was invited to be displayed at the inaugural Noosa Concours d’Elegance where it drew attention and comments from guest judges from the famous Pebble Beach Concours event. The odometer indicates 58,066 miles, however this is not warranted. This C2-era Corvette Sting Ray Coupe Split Window is finished in the vibrant shade of Riverside Red, over a black leatherette-trimmed interior, featuring textured aluminium and chrome trim. It rides on a set of 15-inch multi-spoke alloy wheels with three-spoke knock-off-style centre caps, fitted with American Classic whitewall tyres. Equipment includes pop-up headlights, a top-tinted windscreen, a three-spoke steering wheel, an analogue clock, heater and ventilation controls, a vertically mounted Delco radio, power steering, and a passenger-side dashboard grab handle. The original Delco radio has had the internals upgraded. The car comes with two sets of keys. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: a full respray in the original colour was carried out as part of the restoration, and the interior has been retrimmed, including the seats being reupholstered, the carpets being replaced, and all the trims reconditioned or replaced as necessary. An extensive restoration was carried out by technicians at Performax over the course of two years from late-2018, which included a full respray, the interior being reupholstered, and a full engine rebuild with all new fluids. This C2-generation Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray Coupe Split Window is an iconic and highly desirable classic American sports car, which benefits from an extensive restoration. Presented with a bold colour scheme, instantly recognisable styling, and boasting its ‘numbers-matching’ and potent V8 engine coupled to a four-speed manual gearbox, it would make a notable addition to any assembly of classic American icons, and a stylish and exciting companion for weekend drives, fair-weather cruising, and classic car show visits alike.
