A 1966 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray fitted with the L72 427 cubic-inch V-8, built early in the model year's production run when the engine was still rated at 450 horsepower before Chevrolet reduced the official figure to 425hp, reportedly for insurance purposes. Equipped with a close-ratio M21 four-speed gearbox, Positraction rear axle, side exhaust pipes, and finned knock-off wheels, the car has been restored in Milano Maroon with a Saddle leather interior and also retains a removable hardtop.
