A COLLECTOR's DREAM CAR!
 Don't bother reading any further .  if you are looking for a rebuilt. cobbled together Stingray to work on in your garage. or to add Plastic-Chrome "Made in China" parts to.   If bling is more important than substance. skip this one.  If this is a first car for your 18 year old kid. ask yourself "WHY?".   If you are looking for a non-numbers matching corvette. look elsewhere.   If you want aftermarket chrome rims. broken mirrors. snapped studs. "mostly" original paint. "only" one repaint or "almost complete" Stingray. this is not what you want.  
Not trying to be insensitive. don't want to sound like an a**hole.  but don't waste your time and mine.  
BUT.   if you are looking to add an ORIGINAL Corvette to your collection. or need a car to start your collection with. this is the one!  
We are selling this. and other cars from our private collection. to downsize as we approach the last decade before retirement.   Our life change can change your life.
This is a survivor corvette (means original everything). won a Top Flight award in 2009*. This award was created by the National Corvette Restorers Society in 1974 to recognize cars that have been preserved or restored to the highest level of achievement through the NCRS Flight Judging Process. These cars have to achieve 94% or above of 4500 available points to earn "NCRS Top Flight" in a rigorous judging process of Operations Check. Exterior. Interior. Mechanical and Chassis Judging. As of today 19. 77 have gone through NCRS Flight Judging in attempting to earn this important mark of superiority. 14. 61 have actually earned it.
This original Stingray has just over 42k miles on her.  She features original paint. engine. interior. all matching numbers.  My wife was the third owner since new.
Condition is a 8. 5 out of 10. original paint has some surface flaws. and one scratch that a previous owner tried to repair while maintaining the integrity of the original paint.

*Message from second owner received 2/19/2014 "Dear bart_audrey.
I was the second owner of this car and it still looks the same. I'm the one that won the top flight award and if you have the blue ribbon. my name should be on the back of it. . Good luck on the sale.   CR"



Only 3281 produced in this color combination. even less with the luggage rack. even fewer with both!

On Apr-07-14 at 15:26:54 PDT. seller added the following information:

Build Date D 09 (November) Unrepaired scratch. Left this way by past 2 owners rather than destroy the original paint when feathering in.  The actual repair process is simple. but all that was done here sometime in the past was to fill in the scratch.  Not visible from any reasonable distance.
