The interior is all original except for new carpet. Original and restored AM/FM radio, Teak steering wheel, restored, correct and correctly dated power antenna.

NCRS/ GM shipping records (SDR) show a build date of 5-26-65 originally sold by Don Allen Chevrolet of Miami, Florida, dealer code zone 26-022. The car is in outstanding condition to be mostly unrestored and original. Runs and drives without any issues, engine purrs like a kitten and doesn't smoke. Engine currently has finned aluminum valve covers not original to the vehicle, I do have the original GM orange steel covers. Car is keyed properly: All locks function correctly, including the glove box and the spare tire lock which has the correct rubber cover as seen in photos. Correct jack and handle is in the storage compartment.Car currently has finned aluminum direct bolt knock-off wheels.

Most all factory correct type components including seat belts, spare tire, shifter, shielding, air cleaner, hoses & clamps, expansion tank, fuel door assembly, glove box door with working light, owners manual and more. It becomes obvious upon inspection the car has had a very sheltered life. The car is garage stored and hasn't seen a drop of rain in years. An outstanding example of a well cared for highly optioned Corvette convertible. As far as I can tell, this is a no hit car. All bonding strips are perfect. Paint is in super condition with only a couple very minor blemishes that don't show in the pics. I'll be happy to send additional pics upon request.
