The only thing cooler than a `66 Big Block Stingray is... (answer inside)

[Todd@RUPES]

... getting to detail one using the final beta versions of a brand new product!

"Todd, would you mind detailing this ultra-rare, prototype, pre-production 1966 427 Stingray roadster, which has NEVER been restored and still has original paint?"

Todd: "Hang on let me call my boss..."

Todd: "Boss, some guy wants me to detail this 1-of-1, only 450 hp documented, Corvette Stingray but I won`t do it unless you let me use some the new (*@#$(*&(@$ products."

The conversation never happened, but this prototype Corvette does exist, it is in my driveway, and there is rumored to be a new products coming out soon!

Proof of the Corvette




The ultra rare (as in one) 427/450 horsepower L-somethingorother engine. This engine was ultimately dropped in favor of the famous Tri-Power 427/435hp engine (in 67) and later found its way into Chevelles and Corvettes as 454/450 (or 460) LS-6. Wonder what that is chilling on the original air cleaner?



Corvette afficanados might see the red-white tail lights, which are inncorrect for this year, and assume this is a 1965. This is a pre-production model which was finished along side the 1965`s, but is titled as a 66.



Write-up coming soon!

Todd -

Thanks for the awesome pics of an equally awesome rocket !

I almost bought a new Z28 in that color when I came back from Overseas but instead stuck with my new Camaro hard top Pace Car with the White/Orange stripes instead...

Looking forward to seeing your perfect work on this beautiful machine !
