Exterior
Wearing its original Millie Miglia Red color, this Corvette’s fiberglass body exudes classic sports car curves, most notably the purposeful “Coke bottle” shape and sculpted fenders. The white convertible top is in good condition with a clear plastic rear window, and signature details like the split rear bumper, chrome trim, and Stingray badging evoke the era’s flair. While it shows some signs of age such as orange peel and minor paint flaws, the overall visual impact remains striking. Square exhaust tips and classic rally wheels complete its aggressive stance.
Interior
Inside, the black vinyl interior contrasts boldly with the red exterior, creating a timeless color combination. The bucket seats retain their original form and material, complemented by clean door panels and black loop carpeting. The driver-focused dash layout features a large tachometer and speedometer, plus a five-gauge cluster in the center stack. Controls for ventilation and the signature chrome shifter rest in a functional center console. Subtle wear adds authenticity without detracting from usability, offering a nostalgic yet functional cockpit experience.

This Corvette blends muscle and nostalgia in equal measure. From the burble of the V8 exhaust to the tactile feedback of the manual transmission, every element is tuned to thrill the driver. On the road, it tracks well and accelerates with confidence, riding on its original suspension setup with coil springs up front and a sophisticated transverse leaf spring design in the rear. While the windshield wipers were non-functional at testing, all other systems operated as expected, reinforcing its status as a well-kept classic ready to enjoy.
