A matching-numbers example of the iconic American muscle car, finished in the vivid hue of Riverside Red. It is powered by a 327ci (5.4L) small-block V8, delivering around 265kW to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission. This Corvette has been subtly enhanced with modern conveniences such as power steering, air conditioning, front disc brakes, and a tilting steering column. The engine was rebuilt at 104,000 miles. The car is finished in Riverside Red with a white soft top over a black vinyl-trimmed cabin. It rides on a set of 15-inch Kelsey-Hayes wheels with triple-eared knock-offs and Bridgestone Turanza whitewall tyres. The cabin is fitted with a push-button Bluetooth stereo, air conditioning, and power steering on an adjustable steering column. Accompanying the sale is a history file with 31 years of service records, various invoices, import approval paperwork, and three keys. Upgrades: Front Wilwood dual-piston disc brakes Dual master cylinder with stainless-steel brake lines Radial whitewall tyres Tilting steering column Power steering Rebuilt instrument cluster Halogen headlights Vintage air conditioning Edelbrock intake manifold and four-barrel carburettor MSD ignition, coil, and wires New battery The resprayed paintwork is reported to be in excellent condition, with some very faint scratches around the rear driver’s side wheel arch and minor blemishes around the rear numberplate holder and base of the aerial. Moving inside, the cabin is in good shape, showing some scuffing on the entry sills, age-related creasing on the seats, and minor wear on the steering wheel, gear knob, dashboard, and carpets. The seller is not aware of any mechanical or electrical faults. The chassis was lubricated and the engine oil was replaced by the owner in December 2022. A tune-up has also taken place during the seller’s 12-month ownership. The engine was rebuilt at around 104,000 miles. This is an impressive, matching-numbers example of the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray (C2) Convertible, equipped with a manual transmission as well as several modern-day conveniences such as air conditioning, power steering, and upgraded front brakes. Handsomely resprayed in the eye-catching shade of Riverside Red, it would make a fine addition to any collection of classics, as well as a highly usable summer cruiser.
