Lot details Registration No: VML 64F Chassis No: G1946785427808 Mot Expiry: May 2006
If you are looking for a real and hairy-chested Chevrolet Corvette, you need look no further. This 1968-built left-hand drive roadster is rare, too, being a four-speed manual car turned out in the correct and as originally supplied Tuxedo Black and with the original black leather interior still in place. The history file supports the 54,820 miles displayed when entered for this sale as most likely being the correct total for the American classic from new.
The vendor tells us that VML 64F has been restored and, over the years, uprated with many performance parts, resulting in what is described as awesome power output, the 327 cu ins V8 claimed to be pushing out 400 plus bhp! The lightweight hardtop with this car is a rare item, too, whilst, sensibly, a full four-point safety harness has been fitted.
Current condition of bodywork and paintwork is described as being superb, interior A1 with original FM radio in place, while engine, transmission and split-rim alloys are all reportedly in A1 order. Freshly MOT tested, the latest certificate will be valid until May of next year.
Breath-taking to look at and to drive, this hairy-chested Chevy authentically mirrors the James Garner Racing Team Corvettes of the 1960s and 1970s, cars which raced at Le Mans. Indeed, mods include Le Mans type lights, free-flow 5ins bore side exhaust pipes and extra wide rims. Such iconic US iron has been seriously underrated by UK classic car enthusiasts who don't realise the buzz they're missing. Catch this 1960s muscle car-if you can!
