This Corvette is an authentic Horizon Blue car. Original build as 270 HP, 4 speed, 4:11 rear ratio, positraction. All numbers match except block and I have a correct block that goes with the car. This car was the last Corvette off the assembly line in the first month of production for the 1960 Corvettes. Total frame-off restoration includes all wearing components replaced or rebuilt. All chrome NOS or originals were re-chromed in Show Chrome. Stainless trim replaced or re-polished. Car was completely gone over and refinished in 2006. Fit and finish is second to none. Pictures do not do justice to this car. Drives like a dream with no squeaks or rattles.
I've owned this car for 20 years and am the second owner. This car was purchased April, 08 and is headed to Belgium with a new (3rd) owner. You need to see this car in person. A real crowd stopper draws attention in any field of cars. You won't ever see another as nice as this and you'll agree when you see it. This car has been in both Corvette Fever and Vette Magazine. Was also in a recent Calendar for September 07.
